Delicious Food Variety

“The food at the resort was simply fantastic! Each meal was a good adventure, with many different options available at the buffet. I particularly enjoyed the daily changing menus, which included an array of fresh and local dishes. The Asian chefs did a wonderful job, especially with the curries—so flavorful! I loved how my dietary needs were handled, with a clear labeling system for allergens, which made dining stress-free.” view full review

Luxurious Room Amenities

“I stayed in a beautiful beach Jacuzzi bungalow, which was a perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The large jacuzzi was an absolute treat after a long day of snorkeling. The room itself was spacious, with a perfectly maintained airy feel and modern amenities. The added touch of having twice daily cleaning was impressive; it felt like coming back to a fresh oasis every time.” view full review

Relaxation in Paradise

“The spa experience at Vilamendhoo was nothing short of heavenly. I enjoyed a relaxing massage while listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean waves. It was so easy to unwind here, and it truly felt like my worries melted away. The spa treatments were well worth it, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to rejuvenate after my snorkeling adventures.” view full review

Snorkeling Delight

“The house reef was excellent! I had the very nice opportunity to snorkel just meters from my bungalow, where I encountered turtles, rays, and a vibrant variety of fish. Every snorkeling session felt like a new discovery, and it was thrilling to swim alongside such beautiful marine life. It was a true highlight of my stay, and I can't wait to do it all over again.” view full review

Our second visit to the resort was a bit of a letdown compared to the first. While the beautiful location and spacious rooms still impressed us, the dining options were disappointingly limited, and we faced some frustrating service issues. Despite these setbacks, there's so much charm in the place that others might enjoy, and the staff did show some effort to make amends.
