General Comments
We just returned a few days ago from Olhuveli and I was extremely apprehensive after reading several bad reviews of the resort. It seems to be a very individual thing whether you enjoy a holiday or not and is heavily dependant on individual taste! Personally we really enjoyed our holiday and thought it the best we had been on yet and I have quite a discerning taste!

We stayed in a water villa which I highly recommend if you can afford it, which had brilliant facilities (a new flat screen TV was delivered to our room whilst we were there). This would not be ideal for those with young children though due to the location over the lagoon.

The service was brilliant as was the food in the buffet and we also ate on the lagoon deck 3 nights which was wonderful. This was a la carte which you pay extra for.

The only thing I would complain about was the mosquitoes that seemed to be a greater problem the hotter the weather got. It did rain a little in spells for the first 3 days but I still managed to burn! However it was very hot and sunny for the remaining 7 days!



On the whole, despite seeing some negative reviews before our departure we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would go back there again.



I would recommend staying in a water villa though as they are on the quieter side of the island and the sea is much calmer. Also to note the live bands can go on until 2am but we didn't hear them from this side of the island (I can't comment on the other accommodation but I believe this is quite basic and can be pot luck with the location).
