Our 9 th visit. Incredible water spots and excellent staff.
Fantastic as usual.
Only negative is evening entertainment needs updating and sun loungers around the pool need new padding and a few more beds.

Absolutely fantastic holiday.

If forced to make a couple of slight criticisms it would be the smell of the insect spraying, which was noticeable on several occasions, and the diesel fumes from the somewhat unsightly floating sand pumping boat (parked in front on the beach bar)

Another superb holiday with Angelfish! Nothing is ever a chore for the staff and responses are always very prompt - thanks again for everything and a merry Christmas to the team xx

First trip to Sri Lanka and hope to return but perhaps not to Taj Bentota.

The Victoria for 2 is excellent!the staff, rooms, service, food and ambience is great. We will return next December for 7 days!!

The Shandrani is a little tired in some areas, and according to staff is due to be refurbished over an 8 month period in 2020!
However as usual we were given a great room that had recently been refreshed, the staff are really helpful, the food was excellent and the service fantastic.

We are really treated very well in both Hotels and appreciate the extra attention we get as repeat guests.

Haven?t done desire to return because as you know I never really intend to return to any but felt putting a 1 would be unfair on the resort - lovely place really enjoyed it overall.

Another great holiday at Oblu Helengeli. The new Italian GM Luisa is full of ideas and is a fun lady. As repeaters we are treated very well.Free room upgrade and 7 special meals at Just Grill and a cookery lesson.We also went to Sangeli for lunch with Jorge Gm ,toured the rooms with him and were given a villa for the afternoon and champagne and chocs too.
Oblu hospitality is special as is the reef.

Just wanted to say thanks for arranging our holiday- it was wonderful. We were really well looked after and had some amazing experiences- swimming with a manta being the best! I was a bit worried that going back to Coco Palm might be a mistake as we had such a great time last time, but if anything we enjoyed it even more!

Angelfish were great. After trawling the Net looking at islands in the Maldives and getting totally confused, it was refreshing when a friend recommended Angelfish on the basis that they know the islands well and could give personal advice. I spoke on the phone and asked numerous questions, they got my budget and ideas of what I was after and boom - -perfect holiday booked within 24 hours! The BA plane was a pretty tired 777 and the entertainment system was also tired and flaky. My system didn't work but I was able to use the seat next to me. The food on the way out was good but poor on the way back. We were offered two hot meals both the same, chicken or pasta. I had the chicken twice and the last batch was like chewing on leather. Although we had a drink pre lunch and during lunch I would have liked a glass of wine with the last, evening, meal but it was not available. BA staff are always great and to get a straight through flight is worth the above issues! Coco Palm was like Heaven on Earth! We spent a week sea gazing. The seaplane was super exciting, quality was great and the staff were lovely. The All Incl. plan was handy as we didn't have to worry about money. The drinks on the plan did not include premium labels so if you like a particular gin, for example, you would have to pay more. There were a few cocktails and no problem with well known brands of soft drinks. The buffet restaurant was good, plenty on offer and lovely wait staff and chefs. We went to the Cornus restaurant once with a credit of $45 each. It was nice food but it was impossible to stick to the $90 for two and the total came to $130 which seemed a lot for two courses, plus we had to pay for the wine (a glass each) even though it was the same wine free in the buffet restaurant. The restaurant wasn't busy and we thought they would do better to drop the price a bit to get more people in. We would go back there, as any criticisms were minor compared to such a beautiful place.

Standards at Coco Palm remain high and we will definitely return.
