The resort is of a high standard. Very nice, very relaxed, not luxurious but everything there, very well maintained, very well organized and very friendly. Very good food, but not Michelin-starred. And that's how we want it.

The island is also a great snorkeling area where the corals recover very well. Even when snorkeling, we regularly see grey reef sharks, moray eels, sweetlips and schools of snappers, usually also some white tips and occasionally nurse sharks and turtles.
Unfortunately, due to boat entrances and strong currents during the tides, it is not possible to snorkel completely around the island.
However, this is not a drawback as there are plenty of alternatives.
There are very good dive sites in the immediate vicinity.

The food was good. Relatively good variety, even if after a week at the buffet everything tasted pretty much the same. Unfortunately always dress code in the restaurant. And the beer was definitely too expensive. ( 8$ for 33cl ).
Service in general top and friendly.

General problem: in summer there are almost no experienced divers here, so tw. only easy-TG available.
Boat prices are meanwhile very expensive (approx. 25 eur/TG)

Hallo lieber Herr Demel! Vielen lieben Dank für Ihr Feedback. Ich werde dies - Ihr Einverständnis vorausgesetzt - bitte so an die Tauchbasis weiterleiten. Ich hoffe aber, dass die hohen Bootspreise Ihren Urlaub nicht trüben konnten und Sie trotz allem einen gelungenen Urlaub verbracht haben und angenehme Erinnerungen mit nach Hause nehmen konnten. Liebe Flossenschläge, Daniela Taschwer

Arriving on the island, we were warmly welcomed.
The bungalow 224 was very spacious. The large shower and Jaccuzzi a dream. Unfortunately we had hardly any shade on the beach. The other bungalows had more palm trees.
A dream island, beautiful. Possibility to snorkel almost in front of the door. The food was excellent, but could be more varied if you are only there for a week. A place to relax and feel good all around.
Diving rather expensive. 330 Euro for 1 full day tour with 3 dives. Instead of offering full day tours, half day tours should be offered more often, especially to the Whale Shark National Park.
The restaurant in the Adults-only area is beautifully located, so you always have the sea in view. Our waiter Samir quickly got our room number in his head as well as our drink preferences. Samir was very attentive and nice.

Fantastic resort with everything you could possibly want. Service and food is top!
What a great diving school! Very professional, good communication and enough variety in dive trips. Guidance and assistance on board is fantastic!

Limited flexibility of the dive center, limited choice of dive sites (is it because of the early monsoon this year? We did not find out the reason).
Dive guides often stressed. Biggest point of discussion: Why SSI divers can't do a speciality course (e.g. Deep Diver) in the PADI dive center? Why was this possible in Marsa Alam but not on Vilamendhoo? We did not find out this reason either. A sitting together after the diving was missing.

Criticism of service:
The front desk is staffed by people who have no idea about customer orientation - which is irritating. The service in the restaurant is also mediocre.

Everything was ok and satisfactory at the hotel except for the organization of the return flight: Our internat. Flight 9:15 from Mahe. Already at our arrival and 2 days before our departure we have pointed out the reception that we need the 1st flight from island at 6:00 to be on time at the internat. Airport to be on time. We got flight at 6:30, left late at 7:05 from Vilamendhoo. Arrival Mahe airport 8:00. We were promised it brings us someone directly to the check-in to not miss flight. Has not been true. We got to the check in before others by asking around on our own and got to flight. Another couple had the same problems, BUT with the experience 2 years earlier to have missed the flight, as also flown too late from Vilamendhoo. Had to book a new flight then, with no help from travel company. So the problem is not an isolated case and costs a lot of nerves at the end of the holiday. Suggestion: Ev. last night in the airport hotel to spend to save nerves.

The island has a super nice house reef where you can discover a lot and also reachable with short boat trips there is a diverse selection of different dive sites.
The dive center is basically well organized, only as a re-entrant I was thrown into the deep end, here I had wished for a little more support just for beginners, but was also dependent on the guide.

We felt very well taken care of even in Corona times and never felt unsafe at any time. Hygiene concepts were well thought out and very well implemented. The service staff was always very friendly and eager to provide the best holiday experience.

We went to a Jacuzzi Beach Mansion. The rooms are functionally furnished and offer enough space. The mattresses are medium hard and we slept very well. The half-open bathroom is awesome. Very nice and with lots of space. With sun bed, Jacuzzi and parasol.
The food is fantastic. We went to the Ahima Restaurant and if you don't find food here you can't help it. There is a buffet in the morning, at noon and in the evening. Everything is fresh, very tasty and is constantly being refilled. Every day the motto changes and even after 3 weeks we always found something new.
The service is really great. Everything is really very nice and one has the feeling that people like to work here.
The dive center is great, with lots of space and always an open ear. Here no wishes remain open...as long as the weather is fine :-)
