We liked everything. At the airport we were met by an employee with a sign and held to the bus that took us to the lounge. The lounge area has everything you need, very cool, you can change clothes and relax in the waiting aircraft. From the moment the plane landed and the end of stay, the staff was very... More

Our room was spectacular...and we woke up every morning to watch the sunrise and sit in our private jacuzzi. Great job Veligandu staff! We travelled so far to arrive at your hotel and we were very pleased. My only comment is... More

We have just returned from Veligandu for the second time in a few months, and found the place to be just as good as the first time in Feb. On both occasions we booked a jacuzi water villa, we had 171 in Feb and 169 last week, which was excellent. As all of the other postings, the food is 10/10,... More

We returned to Veligandu and it was even better than our previous visit. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, we stayed in a jacuzzi water villa again which we loved. The food is brilliant, always fresh and hot and in two weeks we never had a repeat of the same food once, there are different delicious curries every day but... More

The Island and hotel are amazing! We have booked a water villa via official web-site. Water villas have not very good location - you do not see a sunset from your terrace and in mornings it is a big ebb so it is not very comfortable to swim in the morning. My recommendation is to overpay for jacuzzi water villa... More

We went to Veligandu for the second part of our honeymoon (first part was 10-day tour of Sri Lanka). We really could not fault this place. The food was excellent, the staff were very friendly and accommodating, the accommodation (Jacuzzi water villa) had everything we needed from a nespresso machine, Jacuzzi, air conditioning to DVD player with surround sound and...

Just returned from our 3rd and longest visit to Veligandu. They have improved the All Inclusive Plus package by providing a range of cocktails that are included in the price. Of note from another review, you can specifically ask for 'dry white wine' as the house wine as they will bring their sweet white wine as standard if you just... More
