This was our first time to the Maldives with my wife and 6 year old boy. Flew direct from Heathrow to Male on a night flight and then had a sea plane transfer which took about 40 mins - all pretty painless as far as long haul goes! Starting with the positives, of which the review mostly is - the resort is beautiful - we stayed in one of the beach bungalows which had a pool out the back then a walkway to your own part of the beach with loungers etc there with a stunning view - our room was cleaned / tidied daily by Khalid who was great. Staff are for the most part pretty friendly, and I was impressed that after having no zero beers (I don’t drink anymore), the resort had some flown in the next day which was a nice touch. The spa and massages were very good. There was a kids club, which was quite small but our son went to for 2/3 half days during our stay and seemed to enjoy it and made a few friends. I would say that I’ve been fortunate through my work to travel a lot, stay in a lot of nice places around the world and dine in a lot of high end restaurants. I would say whilst the resort is very good, it’s not 5* - I think having chatted to a couple of other families who were staying at this resort and who had been to other resorts in the Maldives, they felt a similar way. The food was good but not excellent - having only 1 main restaurant on the island, despite doing different themed nights still felt quite samey after 4/5 nights and when you ordered things like ice cream outside of meal hours in the pool bar (which you’re allowed to but is chargeable) almost felt like an inconvenience to staff at times and would remind you constantly that it would be chargeable! I’m aware that you pay for what you get - the four seasons (as an example) is also 5* but is 2/ 3x more expensive but looks like it has a vast amount more choice with food and activities (if that’s something you want) etc and I think if you’re looking for a proper 5 star experience you’d have to look at resorts like that which we will do next time as The Maldives is stunning, the people are very friendly and the weather was perfect so will definitely return. Dont let this review detract from the fact that Angsana Velaveru is a great resort and I’ve left feeling rested, grateful and very content - I just think being critical and managing expectations for people.

What a wonderful place this is. We travelled to the Maldives 20 years after our honeymoon there with our three ‘teenagers/young adults’ and we all had an incredible holiday. The hotel is so welcoming, so friendly and the staff could not do enough for us. We stayed in the three bedroom villa at the end of the island with three lovely double rooms and a private pool, loads of places to sit and relax and the most loveliest housekeeping staff. Irushad looked after us so well - we cannot thank him enough. He decorated our bed with an anniversary message in flowers for our arrival and a beautiful message before we left. He kept our large villa spotlessly clean, kept our mini bar generously stocked and could not do enough for us. Thank you Irushad - we will always remember you! We were on the AI package and the food was fantastic - a great choice of delicious food at the buffet every day. We ate at the Azzuro restaurant too for one night which was great and also enjoyed a couple of meals at the Kuredi Bar. The waiting staff were all lovely. Special thanks to Hathim aka Apa who was absolutely brilliant and so attentive. He always remembered our favourite drinks especially the ‘German Water’ [beer!] for my husband and son!! He made me my favourite ever cocktail. ‘Walk in the Tropics’ I’m forever a convert now!! He decorated a table beautifully for us on our final night. Thank you so much Apa. Also in the restaurant was Ajija and Husain who were both lovely. The kids all scuba dived on a discovery dive and Sylvia and Ageel looked after them brilliantly - taking brilliant photos and videos and making sure they saw as much as possible. All three kids have asked to do a PADI for Christmas. They could have done this there but as we were only there for a week we felt it better to come home and get the qualification. We also loved the Sunset Dolphin Cruise and the bird feeding, the snorkelling, banana rides and paddle boarding. With three youngsters in tow we needed some night life and they loved the movie night, karaoke, and Maldivian dancing, the DJ nights and the Halloween party. The staff at the bar made us delicious cocktails and somehow managed to look as if they were partying too even though they were all working really hard. In all we had a fantastic week. Whilst we did some sort of activity every day we all managed to catch up on sleep, read books, enjoy the beach and relax together as a family that with three ‘young adults’ is increasingly difficult to do. This wonderful hotel in the Maldives gave us some very special family time. Thank you to everyone who looked after us so well. Angsana Velavaru is a very special place and we’d love to go back one day. Read less

The resort facilities are very good and the staff is friendly. The food and activities are excellent. The Mediterranean meal at the Kanni was fantastic. It is a food that I will think of even when I get home. I was very happy during my stay here. APPA is the best employee.
