GORGEOUS. not at all as luxurious as the big resorts but we didnt want that anyway. Rooms are very basic so if you want the pinterest version (overwater bungalows, jacuzzi in room, flower petals) then this isn't the place. ##### travelhappy ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 3, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Naturbelassene wunderschöne Insel Hallo zusammen, die Anreise war für mich eine absolute Katastrophe! Wir sind in Mále gelandet und weiter zum Wasserflughafen, von dort auf ging es mit dem Wasserflugzeug zu einer Plattform direkt auf dem Meer ( und wir hatten bei der Anreise sehr starken Seegang!) über die man in das Boot umsteigen musste. Ich finde diese Details hätte man ruhig bei der Buchung erwähnen können. Gerade weil ich absolut Seekrank bin. Naja, dann sind wir angekommen, wurden Herzlich begrüßt. Der Bungalow war wie beschrieben, einfach eingerichtet, der Strand war ansich ganz schön, jedoch sollte man Badeschuhe mitnehmen, da im Wasser sehr viele Steine sowie Korallen liegen und das reingehen schon leicht unangenehm war. Nun das Positive, es war traumhaft zum Schnorcheln, ich bin mit Haien geschwommen, habe unzählige tolle Fische gesehen und Rochen &&& Das Essen war auch in Ordnung. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 29, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Traumhaft Wir waren im Juni auf Helengeli und waren sehr begeistert. Das Essen ist gut und die Anlage sehr schön. Keine von diesen extrem hippen Luxusresorts und das ist auch gut so! Es ist vor allem für Taucher und Schnorchler ein echtes Paradies. Hoffentlich wird sich die Insel ihren Charme behalten können, wenn dieses Jahr die Leitung wechselt. Es wäre schade, wenn auch aus dieser Insel ein überzogenes/überteuertes Luxusresort wird. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### FRANCO, BOLOGNA May 15, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### RELAX E TANTI PESCI SIAMO STATI AD HELENGELI DAL 29 APRILE AL 7 MAGGIO.

The food options aren't much but the food is good, drinks are expensive but if you go on the local island excursion early you can stock up. Would recommend to anyone on a budget that wants an experience of a life time. ##### Amir ### 4/10 Poor #### Abdulaziz, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia Feb 22, 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet Resort The resort to relax, good experience for 15 minute seaplaneby flight, the resort manager himself greeted us and was very nice guest relations. You need to buy everything like bottle of water its cost 5$. The local restaurant staff were average, as was the food. Most people tread the island barefoot ##### Abdulaziz ### 4/10 Poor #### Thomas, Hong Kong Feb 6, 2014 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not Worth it at ALL I certainly made a mistake in choosing Helengeli. Paid a handsome price, got a tired worn down room with "bad smell" and an air-conditioner with dark and brown MOLDS on every inch of it. Tried to ask to change room and got punished: We went to ask for changing room at 2 p.m., was told bluntly (showing irritation on the face) to come back at 3 as the man claimed himself not in a position to do it. Went back at 3 and told to come back at 4:30 p.m. Then went back at 4:30 p.m. and was given a key to room which was untouched and not cleaned from previous occupant. Went back to tell them the case and was asked to wait for another hour!!!! My wife got angry and tried to ask for the manager. The Assistant Manager came and started "scolding" us as he said that it was Sunday and the hotel was busy! What on earth is this??? Service???? Was it our fault??? We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and the whole afternoon was wasted waiting to change room!!! Furthermore, don't be misled by the description of the room - Bungalow, that is too beautiful a description for a room like that - It's just a brick room with dead trees standing in front of the room like a haunted house. What you get is the tired furniture especially the toilet door which any hotel on earth would have dumped it away and above all, the smelly air-conditioner, the giant ants(about an inch long)!!! Actually, the whole vacation was spoilt!!! ##### Thomas ### 6/10 Okay #### Salva, Suisse Jan 29, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Room comfort #### Pas de quoi en faire tout un plat!!!! Rapport qualité/prix bien en dessous de ce que l'on peut attendre d'un séjour au Maldives. A part les chambres qui étaient spacieuses et propres, le reste doit passablement être amélioré. On vous propose à la location que des bungalows bord de plage, mais il faut savoir qu'une dizaine de bungalows n'ont même pas la vue sur la mer. Pire, c'est ceux-la qu'on essaie de vous fourguer losqu'on arrive, donc n'hésitez pas à réclamer. En cas de disponibilité, ils vont faire le nécessaire, sinon tant pis pour vous! Vous payez pour du filet de boeuf et on vous sert un steak au même tarif! La nourriture, bof bof, ça reste mangeable mais rien d'extraordinaire, les fruits pas murs, le choix est très pauvre. Si vous ne faites ni snorkeling, ni plongée, même pas la peine de s'y arrêter. A marée basse pas de possiblilité de se baigner. Sur les 5 séjours aux Maldives, Helengeli a été de loin le moins plaisant. Dommage ##### Salva ### 4/10 Poor #### Uzo, Lagos Jan 28, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort Helengeli is a good place if you enjoy snorkeling and diving. There are really no activities for young people and no media entertainment in the rooms. Moreover there is no wifi in the rooms - only at the bar and quite expensive rates. ##### Uzo ### 6/10 Okay #### Nad, France Jan 23, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Chambres spacieuses et propres, MAIS........... Impressions très mitigées, un très bel endroit pour le snorkeling et la plongée, (tarifs plongée un peu élevés, même si c'est les Maldives, les clients ne sont pas des pigeons!!!). Où est la belle langue de sable que vous promettez sur les photos? Depuis 2 ans elle a disparu et croyez moi qu'à marée basse, quasiment impossible de se baigner, à part dans la piscine, mais je n'ai pas besoin d'aller aussi loin pour aller à la piscine!! Donc si vous ne faites ni snorkeling ni plongée, passez votre chemin. Tous les bungalows sont censés être en bord de mer, sauf qu'il y en a une bonne dizaine qui n'ont même pas la vue sur la mer, comment ont-ils fait, lorsqu'on pense que l'île fait environ 50 m de large. Pire, c'est là qu'on essaye de vous loger quand vous arrivez, alors n'hésitez pas à reclamer. Preférez les bungalows n° 1 a 18 côté couchant, les autres à éviter si possible. Pour la nourriture, ce n'est pas du Gastro, mais pas non plu de la cantine, assez bon, mais un choix très pauvre, que se soit pour le petit-déjeuner, le déjeuner et le dîner, on se lasse vite. De temps à autre une agréable surprise au dîner dans le coin spécial cuisine du monde, mais rien de trançandant. Gros bémol, en plus de 20 repas pris, pas une seule fois les fruits étaient mûrs. Pour le dîner romantique sur la plage qui lui non plus n'est pas donné, montre en main, il a duré 1 heure!! Quel romantisme lorsqu'on vous stresse à manger vite!! A éviter. De loin pas le meilleur séjour aux Marldives ##### Nad ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jan 6, 2014 ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### SH, USA Jan 6, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness #### Fine, but overpriced... not best value for your $$ If you're hoping for a luxury resort you will be disappointed, but you will pay an arm and a leg here, plus tax. It was fine, but really should have been a little less per night to get the most value for your money. Also, the cost of getting to the island is additional and it is pricey. My room was fine, I liked the outdoor bathroom concept, but the bed was only somewhat comfortable. The food is average. There are some things they do well, and some they don't. I was told by one staff member that it's better than it used to be. The spa was very reasonably priced. Service overall at the resort is fine, but when I checked out I paid part of my balance in dollars and the local currency. They didn't know how to calculate the local currency into US dollars. Yikes. I had to do the basic multiplication for them. I would go back to the Maldives but I would stay somewhere else. For the amount of money I paid per night and the cost to get there and back, I expect more. ##### SH ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie, bretagne Dec 28, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hôtel très accueillant, idéal pour snorkeling Enfin une île non défigurée par les rangées de bungalows sur pilotis! Personnel chaleureux, on se sent comme chez soi! Hôtel sans prétention. Restaurant, bar et réception les pieds dans le sable, inutile de s'encombrer à apporter des chaussures ou même des tongs! Les bungalows donnent directement sur la plage avec petit coin "privé" aménagé avec transats et fauteuils à l'abris des regards grâce à la végétation. Les fonds marins sont incroyables, inutile de plonger ou d'aller très loin pour apercevoir des centaines de poissons, tortues et requins. Le restaurant est très correct, buffet assez varié (surtout le soir) le chef est aux petits soins avec les clients. Mention spéciale pour le repas de Noel haut en couleurs et les décorations réalisées par le staff! Propreté impeccable, les chambres sont faites 2 fois par jour. Nous aurions souhaité partir visiter d'autres îles car l'hôtel propose ce genre d'excursion mais à défaut d'autres personnes motivées, (les touristes viennent principalement pour la plongée) l'excursion n'a pas été validée, nous avons seulement pu faire le "Snorkeling Safari" pour aller admirer les fonds marins un peu plus loin. ##### Melanie ### 8/10 Good #### XZ Wang Nov 22, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### XZ Wang ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sun, Sydney Oct 31, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very satisfied Very romantic place for honeymoon, less crowded, friendly staff and beautiful view ;) ##### Sun ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arlene, Canada Oct 26, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Quiet island paradise We had a beautiful stay - the island is small and quiet with the turquoise waters and gorgeous white sand you expect in the Maldives. It is a low key place - no TVs, no jet skis, no fancy shops or formal restaurants - just one restaurant and one bar with sandy floors so you never have to wear shoes - lovely! We had an excellent experience with the dive shop and instructors, and the house reef has great snorkelling. Rooms are simple and clean, very pleasant. They offer several boat trips from the island, for snorkelling or to see a local island, etc. Mainly German speaking tourists as it is a Swiss owned resort. The snack menu in the bar is so-so... sandwiches and pastas and burgers from $10-15. The restaurant only serves buffet, and most people are on full or half-board. Prices are high - $33+ for the dinner buffet, $20+ for lunch. Food is pretty good but not fantastic. Helengeli was described to us as a "good value" resort - so no lobster at the buffets, but service, cleanliness, and the incredible beaches are all top notch. ##### Arlene ### 8/10 Good #### Аля, Россия Jul 5, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Хороший домашний риф у самого берега. Хороший домашний риф у самого берега. Все бунгало хорошо расположены. Остров очень маленький. Один отель. Питание только в отеле. Завтрак достаточный, но очень однообразный. Обед и ужин хороший, можно оплатить на месте. Принимают карты к оплате.. Сервис отличный. Из развлечений только биллиард и конечно снорклинг у берега. Дайвинг организаван хорошо на трех языках. Русских нет. В основном Швейцарцы. Телевизора нет. Интернет Wi Fi дорогой и только в кафе! Расчитан на релакс. Маску, ласты, фонарик, подводный фотоаппарат брать обязательно. Желающие сэкономить захватите печенье. Ха-ха. ##### Аля ### 8/10 Good #### Ken, Vancouver Jun 23, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Attractive Quiet Smaller Resort with Delicious Foo This is my 10th Maldivian resort. I enjoyed the island 's Peace and quiet of nature. Fragrant trees. No TV or phones. Simple comfortable rooms. Excellent island ambience. Nicely separated cottages. Well landscaped. Pleasant friendly staff. Good spa. Well priced. Value for money. Extensive white sand beaches. Short, 15 minute air transfer from Male. Good reef with interesting shells. Despite wind excellent clarity. Big fellows there- white/ black tip reef sharks, spotted eagle rays, turtle, big morays, napoleaon wrasses, etc. the largest schools of red-toothed trigger fish I've ever seen. The food was far above Maldives average. The weather in June was still wonderful. Warm air and seas with 1 monsoon day with heavy rain. Recommended. ##### Ken ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller May 31, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Helengeli - exactly as it appears on their website Service from some bar staff poor - 'All inclusive' almost treated as less valued guests. No concrete wave break. so excellent views. Room boy changed few days before end of holiday. First room boy made far more effort, eg sheet patterns and putting everything neat and tidy. House reef easy access for snorkelling - had it all, turtles, sharks, eels, loads of different fish.... ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 16, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### mariann Mar 9, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### mariann ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peony Jan 28, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enjoy All staffs are very friendly.

Отель шикарный. Настоящий остров-отель. Полное ощущение, что ты отдыхаешь по высшему разряду. Шикарная кухня, великолепный персонал, все очень внимательные, добрые и душевные.Чистые номера, убирают по 2 а то и 3 раза в день. Пляж в 3х шагах от любого домика. Шведский стол по уровню и насыщенности может конкурировать с хорошим столичным рестораном. Каждый вечер новые блюда, помимо огромного выбора салатов, закусок, мясных блюд и т.д., каждый вечер стоял повар и готовил лично для каждого гостя на гриле или фоке и тд. Одни плюсы.Настоятельно рекомендуем! ##### Михаил ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi](https://www.expedia.ca/Ithaafushi-Hotels-Waldorf-Astoria-Maldives-Ithaafushi.h32150301.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU SELECT Lobigili with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/OBLU-SELECT-Lobigili.h72915067.Hotel-Information) > > [Kurumba Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Vihamanafushi-Hotels-Kurumba-Maldives.h1118581.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhoo-Lagoon-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Maldives.h31994718.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Veli Maldives Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Veligandu-Hotels-Anantara-Veli-Maldives-Resort-Adults-Only.h1486735.Hotel-Information) > > [OZEN LIFE MAADHOO - Luxury All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Maadhoo-Hotels-OZEN-LIFE-MAADHOO-A-Luxury-All-Inclusive-Resort.h16821632.Hotel-Information) > > [Meeru Maldives Resort Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Meerufenfushi-Hotels-Meeru-Maldives-Resort-Island.h1451649.Hotel-Information) > > [Malahini Kuda Bandos Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuda-Bandos-Hotels-Malahini-Kuda-Bandos-Resort.h14801253.Hotel-Information) > > [Summer Island Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Ziyaraifushi-Island-Hotels-Summer-Island-Maldives.h9990281.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Coral Reef Resort & Spa Maldives – A Premium All Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hembadhu-Island-Hotels-Taj-Coral-Reef-Resort-Spa-Maldives.h526375.Hotel-Information) > > [Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Giravaru-Hotels-Centara-Ras-Fushi-Resort-Spa-Maldives.h5714044.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Kandooma-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Resort-Kandooma-Maldives.h2427339.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozen Reserve Bolifushi- All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Bolifushi-Island-Hotels-OZEN-RESERVE-BOLIFUSHI-A-Luxury-All-Inclusive-Resort.h4277939.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU SELECT Sangeli - Premium All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Akirifushi-Hotels-OBLU-SELECT-Sangeli-All-Inclusive-With-Free-Transfers.h22499523.Hotel-Information) > > [Velassaru Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Velassaru-Hotels-Velassaru-Maldives.h1145793.Hotel-Information) > > [SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Ehmafushi-Hotels-SAii-Lagoon-Maldives.h30435488.Hotel-Information) > > [COMO Cocoa Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Makunufushi-Hotels-COMO-Cocoa-Island.h1489753.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Furanafushi-Island-Hotels-Sheraton-Maldives-Full-Moon-Resort-Spa.h1326412.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/OBLU-XPErience-Ailafushi.h72915265.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives - One Way Transfer FREE for stays from 1st May till 30th Sept 2025 for Bookings from 16 Apr 2025](https://www.expedia.ca/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Club Rannalhi - 45 Minutes away from Male by Speedboat](https://www.expedia.ca/Rannalhi-Hotels-Adaaran-Club-Rannalhi-45-Minutes-Away-From-Male-By-Speedboat.h1514749.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Maldives At Kuda Huraa](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuda-Huraa-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Maldives-At-Kuda-Huraa.h797351.Hotel-Information) > > [Baros Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Baros-Island-Hotels-Baros-Maldives.h1334001.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Exotica Resort And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhu-Finolhu-Hotels-Taj-Exotica-Resort-And-Spa.h526353.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Park Kodhipparu](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuda-Vattaru-Hotels-Grand-Park-Kodhipparu.h17786794.Hotel-Information) > > [Coco Bodu Hithi – 50% discount on Roundtrip Speedboat transfer for stays from 1 Sep to 23 Dec 2025](https://www.expedia.ca/Bodu-Hithi-Hotels-Coco-Bodu-Hithi.h1639983.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Vadoo - Adults Only - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Vadoo-Island-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Vadoo-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive-With-Free-Transfers.h2899981.Hotel-Information)
