I took my shoes off when I stepped onto the jetty and put them on 5 days later to board the departing sea-plane. The beauty of this place is its simplicity, tranquility, and the attitude and of the staff. This is a real get-away-from-it-all place enhanced by the absence of TVs, or other in-room entertainment/distraction. Yes, the chalets are simple... More

We visited Helengeli as it was an option for us when we first visited Meeru which was overbooked. We stayed at Helengeli forone night only. When we got there, all the crew was so helpful and friendly. But the room was very much less than average. Simple bed, poor outdoor bathroom with big ants (thank God for the insecticide spray...

This was our 3rd trip to the Maldives. Previously we'd stayed on high end islands (Rangali and Huvavenfushi) but this year the budget was more limited. We wanted an island with great snorkeling, good service and a naturally beautiful environment. Helengeli certainly delivered all this, and more. The house reef is very good indeed - every day we saw turtles... More

Superb island ! - the bungalows have not a lot of cachet but are clean and well hidden in the trees. - the beach is wonderful and long enough so that everybody could feel alone on the island. - the reef is superb for snorkling just in front of the bungalows... - the food was excellent (which is not always...

Stayed here during the second visit to the Maldives for a family diving holiday. Beautiful island but I must say, the resort itself was nice, but average... friendly staff, island was very quiet, a tad deserted. We stayed in the air conditioned bungalows, they were simple, clean and nice, had an amazing outdoor Maldivian bathroom. Diving, was superb. Don't think... More

Helengeli is just wonderful. The end. Actually that's all there is to say. But since I know that you want some more details, I'll try to explain you, why Helengeli is wunderful. First of all, this was my first trip to the Maldives. I've never been there before and I can't compare this island to others. I'm pretty sure, there... More

We had a week at Helengeli, enjoying the delights of the island. The rooms are spacious with large outdoor bathrooms and efficient air conditioning. It was lovely to sit in the shade looking out at the sea each evening. The rooms were cleaned twice a day, probably due to the sand which inevitably we carried in on our feet despite... More

My husband and I spent 1 night at Helengeli. It is a small and clean resort with all needed basic amenities. The staff is cordial and welcoming from the manager who greeted us on arrival and accompanied us upon departure to the waiters in the restaurant and bar, as well as the staff at the reception. Snorkeling is good around... More

Firstly I would like to make it clear the island food etc especially the reef snorkelling etc etc is faultless. However please be aware of what may happen with your accommodation. My wife and I stayed here on a short 2 day transfer whilst staying in a beach front woodland and ocean view jacuzzi beach villa aip on another island.... More
