Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The island is so relaxing and even though quite small the positioning of the restaurants, bars and activities give a real impression of space. The staff are so friendly and helpful and made us feel part of the family. The bar staff at the Sun set and Beach bars were fabulous and very entertaining. My wife is gluten and dairy free but nothing was too much of a problem for Chamil, and his team. Nawala went out his way to make sure she was catered for. I would highly recommend staying at Dhonveli it’s a truly fantastic experience.
