Our first visit to Velassaru was magical so we were gutted when our second visit had to be cancelled due to the pandemic lockdown. We finally managed to book and we're so glad we did because they have managed to keep that level of quality up there. Velassaru is a luxury resort which means its priced as such but your so spoiled with gorgeous beaches, excellent service and a range of different restaurant options to cater for most tastes. And of you don't find what you like, the chefs have no problem going off menu to accommodate your requirements. We're still in love with this place and will be going back. Highly recommended.

Price of food was crazy. All inclusive can only be used from 11 to 11. Before or after you have to pay. Example $7 for a diet coke. If you want drinks to your room you pay. No drink service at the beach. Not really an all inclusive. Plus, although quiet and lovely, you were bored to tears. No entertainment loader than a whisper and also ends at 11. Not for those who want to have fun.

Amazing staff, very happy to help and usually with a smile. Staff greeted us by name daily, they noted my son's birthday and gave us a cake and decorated the bed with animals. Overall great experience, quiet island, very peaceful. Good variety of food choices. Our whole family was very pleased with the trip.

Overall it is a nice resort although I would not consider this a five star caliber. The cost of food and partaking in activities are quite expensive - recommend going all-inclusive if you have a family that likes to eat. the quality of food is excellent. We tried to reserve few restaurants on the island but it seems they were booked the entire time we were there. There are no lifeguards around, so be careful with the young ones as the waves are quite strong on the north end of the island during August. Very clean and service is excellent. Overall, we enjoyed our stay there.

For the half board they offer only dinner in one place from 7-10, which is late time to have a buffet dinner. also, I was surprised by the $167 per person transport on a really poor boat, that was for some reason not included. Also, prepare for a $6 per person per night green tax, among other weird taxes.

Dear Thank you for taking the time to review Velassaru Maldives. I am sorry to hear that you found the food and transport at the resort expensive. Maldives is an expensive destination as a whole as most food and other goods are imported into the country. The green tax and other taxes you mention are government taxes which are mentioned to you by Expedia during the booking process. Thank you for choosing Velassaru as your holiday destination. Kind Regards, Brett

We booked a water bungalow with private pool and it was a nice stay, the place was relaxing and enjoying, but the pool was not private at all👎 We can see all the pools in all water bungalows in the same side
