Our stay at this resort was nothing short of magical! The over-water bungalow was stunning, providing breathtaking views and a comfortable space. The staff were incredibly attentive, making us feel right at home. The dining options were abundant and delicious, especially the breakfast which we looked forward to every morning. However, the value for activities could use a bit more clarity as some excursions felt a bit pricey.

Anantara Veli is a beautiful retreat with stunning ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere, making it perfect for a romantic getaway. The rooms are spacious and well-designed, though some aspects of the service left room for improvement. Dining options are diverse and generally excellent, but certain costs, like bottled water, felt a bit excessive. Overall, it offers a memorable stay with some minor downsides to consider.

The rooms were extremely clean, comfortable, and offered great privacy. The service was exemplary, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience. However, some of the dining options were good but not necessarily 5-star quality, and the prices for drinks were quite steep.

Staying at Anantara Veli was an overall beautiful experience, offering stunning views and a luxurious atmosphere. The rooms were quite comfortable but did show some signs of wear. The dining options ranged from fantastic to overly expensive, which was a bit frustrating. The service was friendly, but at times felt a little too pushy regarding reservations and upselling. Overall, it was a lovely getaway, but the high prices and occasional intrusive service could be improved.
