This resort maintains the highest standard of customer satisfaction. Starting from welcoming you and guiding you till your trip ends, they really treat you the best. The ambassador assigned to us was Shuhaan, he guided us properly and tried to cover as much as excursions for us as possible. The spa experience was awesome. Mala and Ambika, our masseurs, were very professional. Overall spa service is a different experience at iru veli. Talking about Iru Veli, you should meet Iru. Iru has a great dancing skill and you should watch for the maldivian dance on weekends. Read less
