Hotels in Helengili with Swimming Pools

The staff at Helengeli are what raise it above all the other resort we’ve visited in the Maldives. We came for snorkelling and diving and were really impressed with the house reef. Masses of reef fish and lots of juveniles, but also Squid, Octopus, Stone fish, Cowtail and Eagle rays, reef Sharks, Turtles, Lobster and even a Leaf fish. Diving was a treat - they did everything for us - setting up, washing and moving the kit and changing cylinders. There is a good variety of sites within close to the island and some nice finds of Scorpionfish, some huge rays, Turtle, as well as the huge variety always you expect. Queenie, Jelle and Sergei were excellent guides and the whole team did a great job. We stayed in a Beach Villa, which was a good size and nicely laid out, a little more storage space would have been ideal. Our room boy, Haneef, was very friendly and helpful and was always around with another bottle of water or beer to stock the fridge. He had excellent attention to detail and kept the room very well for us. The restaurant provides an excellent variety of dishes. The friendly chefs are always present and welcome questions or feedback. Dishes are well labelled. I had some fantastic pasta dishes thanks to Chef Binod and some wonderful varied and tasty curries and soups. The bar was also really enjoyable and every staff member was always cheerful and chatty. Lahiru, Uba, Naiz, Mr Vikas, Saheen, Rajat, Ashanka, Eliza, Amit and Chef Nima thank you for looking after us so well
