South Male Atoll Beach Hotel

"My only regret about booing this hotel was not booking for longer. This was a bolt on for us after a longer trip and everything about it was perfect. The water bungalow was spacious and comfortable. The main buffet restaurant was hugely varied, catering for vegetarians and vegans well, with everything labelled for all dietary requirements. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and happy! We booked two snorkel trips, one with sharks and a free one to the house reef. Both were excellent. The speedboat transfer was efficient and the Holiday Inn desk was easy to find at Male airport. Everything was priced in us$ but by the time service charge and green tax was added it equated roughly to gbp and drinks were a bit pricey - £6 for a Fanta £17 for a cocktail. However they were probably the best Pina colada’s I’ve ever had so worth it! You could walk the perimeter of the island in about 15 minutes but they had a good buggy service which we didn’t bother with as walking enabled us to appreciate the birds, iguanas and hermit crabs that we saw all the time. There were a couple of beaches which were stunning. The pool was huge with varying areas and depths. There was entertainment two of the three nights we stayed which we enjoyed but we also loved watching the fish or the stars from the hammock on our balcony. Some elements of the resort are a little tired but we felt that was such a triviality compared with how wonderful everything else was. We loved every minute. "

"Excellent island resort!"

"Como Cocoa is paradise on earth. This is now our favourite resort and we can’t wait to return. The resort is stunning with all rooms sitting over the water in the beautiful lagoon. The house reef is exceptional and the dive staff were knowledgeable and safe. The staff are friendly and professional, often greeting you by name, and are clearly happy in their work. Special mention goes to the chef, who makes the most delicious food and is very accommodating with the menu choices. "

"Veli is an amazing resort to visit. I cannot say enough about the staff at Veli. They were all so attentive to our needs and did everything in their capabilities to keep us happy. I really appreciated the management cocktail party because it gave us a chance to meet everyone who makes Veli such a wonderful experience. Loved Rifau, Prem, Ruth, and all the others who made our experience possible. "
