Also from our side no moaning like some of the other people did in their review. After 12 days tour through Sri Lanka we stayed for 5 days "All Inclusive" on Olhuveli. The transfer from the airport to Olhuveli was good, nice boat and the sea was calm. Unfortunately it was raining so our arrival wasn't that what you expect. We had a superior room and it was nice, clean and 5 meters distance to the sea. Just a note: If you want to book a watervilla and you're not from Japan; please forget it! Almost all water villas are occupied by Japanese and it's just because they pay more per night and cannot have "All Inclusive" so they donate quite some more dollars than the ordinary European tourist. Anyway, water villas are also not that great as you expect them to be.... The personnel was always friendly and the resort was cleaned on an ongoing basis. After one day of rain our beach holiday started and I have to admit it will stay as one of my favorites in the future. Swimming between baby sharks (1-meter)and stingrays (plenty) is absolutely fabulous....You might get bored if you go there for two weeks but up to one week is so relaxing! Everyday snorkeling, some windsurfing and just relaxing. The food in the restaurant was tasty, plenty and what we felt; delicious. We did a Dolphin tour but all we saw was a giant sea turtle but no dolphins. The morning we had to return to the airport the boat picked us up around 6:30 and the sea was as calm as a mirror and the sun was just rising. We were sooooo lucky as during our trip to the airport we were accompanied by I think around 20-30 dolphins swimming and playing along the boat. The captain decreased speed of the boat and we could nearly touch them as these great creatures were very curious. Great holiday!!!
Hopefully everything is still OK with all the personnel as we've heard that Tsunami hit specifically Olhuveli very hard.....
