Veligandu is a slice of paradise with stunning views, fantastic snorkeling, and exceptional hospitality. The rooms, especially the water bungalows, are comfortable and stylish, although some aspects could use a refresh. The dining options are diverse and delicious, but extra costs for diving equipment were a bit disappointing. Overall, it provides great value for money, but be prepared for some additional charges.
