    “Grateful for the Memories, Hopeful for Improvements – Veligandu Stay Review”

    Our honeymoon at Veligandu was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were mesmerized by the stunning natural surroundings. I tried snorkeling for the first time and it felt like discovering an entirely new world beneath the surface—vibrant, peaceful, and full of life. What made our stay even more special was the kindness and professionalism of the staff. Everyone we encountered was warm and attentive. A special thank you to our Life Host, Ryan, who was always available with clear explanations and just the right help when we needed it. Thanks to him, we were able to fully enjoy our honeymoon without stress. We’d also like to mention Adam, who took great care of our villa with dedication, ensuring it was always clean and comfortable. The excursions were also well-planned and spaced out, which kept our days exciting and never boring. We especially enjoyed the Wonder Rock snorkeling, which gave us a chance to explore even more of the vibrant underwater world. That said, there were a few things that could be improved. First, we were disappointed to learn that the medical center is not operated directly by the resort. Even a very brief consultation with the doctor resulted in a surprisingly high bill. Given the isolated nature of resorts in the Maldives, this kind of outsourced medical service isn’t just frustrating—it could become a safety concern. Second, the life jackets provided seemed quite low quality. It was surprising, considering how much care is given to other aspects of the resort. The life vests felt flimsy and restricted movement, which affected our enjoyment during water activities. It may be time for an upgrade. Lastly, and we understand this is beyond the resort’s control, but for the sake of transparency: the overwhelming number of Chinese guests made parts of our stay uncomfortable. It wasn’t just the number—it was the behavior. Loud gatherings at night, pouring detergent into the sea (apparently for laundry), and general disregard for shared spaces and nature made things unpleasant at times. But despite those issues, we had a truly amazing time. Thanks to the incredibly kind staff and the beauty of the island, our honeymoon became a memory we’ll treasure forever. Thank you, Veligandu, for everything.

    “Beligandu for honeymoon.”

    Beligandu was the perfect size for walking around. The room was clean and nice throughout my stay. The pool inside the villa had no smell of bleach, which was great, and although I bought a shower filter due to limescale, I probably didn't need to. However, treatments and essences are truly essential! My hair got really stiff. I brought a large tube because I heard it would take good photos, but it just became heavy baggage. I had to pay $12 to inflate the tube, and it was not easy to deflate it either. I shouldn't have brought it. When you apply for snorkeling, you go out on a boat, and it's essential to have seasickness medication! If you don't bring it, you can request it at the reception, but I think it's better to buy it in Korea. I brought chewable tablets, but personally, I think liquid form is more effective. The underwater environment is nice, and we snorkeled by the beach in front of the Ocean Dive Center and saw turtles. I recommend bringing your own snorkel gear. If you sign up for snorkeling as an excursion, they provide anti-fog treatment, so you don't need to buy anti-fog yourself. Also, I highly recommend going all-inclusive instead of half-board or full-board! The buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner is just okay, and I completely recommend going to the restaurants Madivaru and Lalu! You have to pay for both restaurants or Tundiva if you don’t go all-inclusive, and it would have been really annoying to have to check the menu prices every time. If you're traveling, just spend a little more for all-inclusive! + A little recommendation: The Pad Thai at Madivaru restaurant is insane! Order it twice 👍 The dessert tiramisu at Lalu restaurant is highly recommended! At Tundiva, try the spicy mango salad and signature burger. The pizza is also above average. One downside is that the Wi-Fi seems not to work well; it's too slow. However, there’s a smart TV in the room, so you can watch YouTube and Netflix. There are many Korean guests^^ and a lot of Chinese guests too. I think this place will continue to receive many visitors in the future. The staff are friendly, and I have many good memories, so I recommend Beligandu if you are considering it! 😀

    “Keine Empfehlung für Schnorchler”

    Auf unserer Inselhopping Reise hat uns dieser Stop am wenigsten gefallen. Ich beschränke mich auf das Wesentliche. Unser Fokus liegt auf dem Schnorcheln. Das Riff war aber nicht optimal. Der schöne Teil liegt auf Ostseite. Diese Seite ist aber oft sehr windig und das Meer eher unruhig, auch im März. So haben sich nur wenige Hotelgäste gewagt, bis zum Riff (hinter den Wellenbrechern) zu schwimmen. Ca. 150 Meter hinaus schwimmen. Das Riff an sich ist dann auch nur mittelmässig.. Das Wasser war auch ziemlich trüb an gewissen Stellen auf dem Weg hinaus. Vor den Wellenbrechern ist es zwar ruhig, aber man sieht kaum etwas spektakuläres. Für Schnorchelfans ist diese Insel nicht die richtige Wahl. Hinzu kommt, die angebotenen Ausflüge sind viel zu teuer. Selbst im Vergleich zu anderen Resorts. Der Service war insgesamt sehr gut. Unsere persönliche Assistentin war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie hätte aber etwas offener sein können. Sehr feines Essen, sehr schönes Hotel und sauberes, grosses, konfortables Zimmer. Es lohnt sich aber das Zimmer auf der Westseite (Sunset) zu nehmen, weil sie sonst auf der windigen Ostseite sind. Der Wind kann wirklich störend sein, wenn sie längere Zeit draussen auf dem Balkon oder im Pool der Wasservilla verweilen wollen.

    “The perfect resort in Maldives”

    The rooms were perfect and clean, housekeeper did a great job maintaining and decorating our room as it was our anniversary trip. Upon arrival, a staff was assigned to us throughout our stay, so if we need anything or have any questions, we can just whatsapp him, very convenient. One of the reasons we chose this resort was all the good reviews we came across on their food quality & variety, and indeed it did not disappoint! We went on a few excursions, the staffs were friendly and ensure we had a good time. Will definitely recommend this resort and thank you for making our stay memorable <3
