We stayed for 14 nights at this amazing hotel celebrating both my husbands birthday and our anniversary. From the moment we arrived at the island we were treated amazingly, being spoilt from the very beginning to the very end. The island itself is beautiful but what really makes this a special place are the staff. Everyone is so friendly, engaging and approachable. As many people say, we appreciate there are many people behind the scenes that we never meet so unfortunately we cannot name them but we just like to show our appreciation by naming some of the outstanding people who work there and made our stay truly something special. So, thank you so much to; Neil, Mr Sebastian, Shibin, Littu, Shamman, Sudeesh, Ajmal, Niushad, Ajeeja, Jambo, Sajuwaan, Afu, Nishanka, Suraj, Chrith, Irushad and all the marine centre staff. Apologies if we have missed anyone however, you are all wonderful! We can recommend the daily snorkeling trips where we saw eagle rays, sharks, turtles and many other species. The food is amazing, lots of variety and we especially enjoyed the food at Kuredhi, not just because of the food but because of the wonderful people that work there. We stayed in a Deluxe beachfront Pool Villa. The villa was outstanding, spacious and beautifully cleaned by Irushad every day. The location of the villa was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better position. The villa pool was a lovely place to cool down. We believe the biggest compliment you can give a hotelier is whether or not you would return and we can honestly say we would come back in a heartbeat. So thank you to everyone for all the special experiences we had. We are truly grateful. Read less

Had the most wonderful stay here for our 30th wedding anniversary. Everything exceeded expectations, from the stunning location and the excellent accommodation to the variety of things to do and the warmth and friendliness of the staff. The snorkelling was magical and we managed to see a sea turtle amongst the coral reef. The sunset cruise was so special, with dancing and jumping dolphins around the boat. We used the all inclusive 'Dine' package which was brilliant. Some of our favourite times were sipping fantastic cocktails served with smiles by Littu and Sudeesh while we watched the sunset. The personalised service was amazing. We were looked after in our villa by Azee, who quickly learned what soft drinks we liked in the minibar and made sure we had them every day. Everything was spotlessly clean and maintained beautifully. The food was absolutely excellent at both Kaani restaurant and Kuredi bar. We always had a wonderful table for two on the very edge of the verandah, right next to the beach and Indian Ocean. We cannot thank Afzal, Yazid, Ajija and Niushad enough for their exceptional service. From the moment we arrived at the international airport on Malé and were met by a friendly and professional Angsana representative who handled everything from our luggage to our seaplane check in, it was clear we were in for an amazing time. The only way we could bear to come home was to promise ourselves that we would go back. Angsana Velavaru is a truly special place whose natural beauty is jaw-dropping and only matched by the incredible dedication, friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Read less
