This was our 16th time to the Maldives, eighth different resort and second consecutive time to Angsana Velavaru. We are definitely going back for a third! We stayed for 20 nights from mid- April which can stray into early wet season but only at the end of the holiday, did the showers start. We stayed in the ocean water villas as same as last year. They have been refurbished with better air conditioning and fridge. What we utilized more this time was making the effort to go to the Island to eat either lunch or dinner and really enjoyed Funa and Kuredu. The concept between the ocean villas and the in-island villas is very different but makes it fun! The boat trips between each run regular and it is brilliant catching the boat for a change of scenery. Funa is a little oyster of delights in the Indian Ocean and sincerely hope the young lady chef is there when we return. Food in all restaurants is great and a great choice when even there for a long stay and we never felt bored of the menu. We did try breakfast on island one day but Azzurro caters for all your needs so no real need to take the trip to the Island for breakfast. Snorkeling from the villas is great with the usual Turtles, Eagle rays, moray and fish by the thousands. Dolphins can be seen from villas too. The corals are better the more you move away from the villas and fully recommend the daily snorkeling trips to see better parts. Visitors should understand that there is a small tidal movement so when the corals are shallow (Tide out) from the ocean villas, walking to the reef is really not an option which, we feel, the resort needs to reinforce more strictly. Many fish can live in the smallest pieces of coral so it’s a home for many. One main reason for our return is Angsana Velavaru’s staff. Over our travels to different resorts, we have met many people in the Maldives but this Island has amazing staff who cannot do enough for you. We loved every minute and we really appreciate your service if we didn’t mention you but a very special thanks to Totti, Sunil, Wahil, Areej, Charith, Suraj, Sucheesh, Faza, Alfie, Shehan, Ybeesh, Lelai, Abraham, Dilshad and Appa.

I truly recommend Angsana Velavaru to everyone no matter family, couple or honeymoon. I stay at in ocean villa for 5D4N. The villa, view and service is fantastic. We enjoy the food at Azzurro and Kanni restaurant, Fayaz and Laila provide us a very good service and food recommendation. They always put smile on and polite. There are few activity included in our package. 1) sunset cruise - basically is a cruise the ride u on ocean during sunset time. Please go to upstair to get the best experience 2) night fishing - if u r lucky and got some fish, u can request to cook at any restaurants for free. U can choose shashimi, grill or BBQ. 3) floating tea - good for photo taking. Snorkeling also available but u need to pass the basic test to swim with fin in 3m depth sea. I didn’t pass the test as both of me and my wife duno how to swim. End up we sign up a snorkeling class and Amed (sorry if I spell ur name wrongly, is a handsome guy) give us a very good guidance. He give a detail explanation in both english and madarin. Beside the training, u also will get a 2hr snorkeling with his guide. You can help full snorkeling experience even u r beginner and duno how to swim. The experience is good as it only organise in small group of 2-6 persons. Overall, Angsana Velavaru is a good choice if u wanted to visit Maldives. I think the CP value is above average. Read less
