I visited your resort from the 2nd May until the 9th May 2013 and I can honestly say that everything was perfect. From the pick-up at the airport back to the drop-off 8 days later. I went on 2 excursions and both were very well planned and enjoyable. The food served at all 3 meal times every day was out... More

A quite magical, beautiful island spoilt by very poor service... We stayed here for ten days over Easter 2013. We had a lovely holiday and loved the island, it is stunning, but the service was so poor that we would not return. Such a shame... The island itself deserves a '5' rating for it's beauty, but the hotel with it's... More

We stayed at the olhuveli resort for 10 days at the end of april with our 3 year old son. We chose olhuveli as we were looking for a mid priced mid sized  resort that didn't require a sea plane and that was child friendly but with stuff to do for adults - because we had our 3yr old son... More

We went on our honeymoon to Olhuveli for a week in April. The island is simply stunning, just how you imagine paradise to be really. We filled a whole 4gb memory card full of beautiful photos. We stayed in a deluxe water villa which was very comfortable and spacious. It was a little bit dated though. The wood was worn... More

We stayed at a deluxe villa (the basic one) and we were very happy. Even with not so nice weather we had great fun and the snorkelling was great. We hope to come back again. The staff was very helpfull and the food was good.

We stayed in a deluxe water villa and it simply did not met our - maybe too high- expectations. I mean, the island is beautiful, the reef very lively and we had a wonderful holiday... but simply we felt that we paid too much for what we got. When you pay over 500 euros per day on a B&B basis...

Olhuveli is like paradise. The layout is such that the resort is not overpopulated and you have your space. The 'All Inclusive' (AI) package is not really all inclusive e.g. it includes orange juice concentrate but not fresh orange juice ($8/9). Our wedding co-ordinator Linda was fantastic. The breakfast in bed order was not delivered correctly and staff weren't too... More
