In spite of the high gästebelegung you feel pleasantly alone and during the day only a few people.
The lagoon and the nearby riff are wonderful and right from the beach or jetty distance.
There are beach-bungalows with in each case 4 units, as well as various strandvillen and the water villa.
While we were there, there were many chinese and french guests in the resort, but also individual representatives of various other nationalities. read more

In spite of the small size the island it is not built up and very unspoiled. You partly the feeling, that you alone on the island is. Everything distributed well. Also to the meals are the guests on several restaurants distributed, so that it was never overcrowded.
The island was always and carefully cleaned, the paths raked, the rooms 2 time cleaned daily and the few seaweed at the beach away.
Mainly the island from japanese visited, a few italians and a few germans. All together a nice and harmonic mixture dehumanise. read more

Who relaxing time out need, you are in goods hands here. We were there with the intention of absolute wellness holiday arrived and not disappointed %blank%. It is the offer the resorts in activities very extensive, but good possibilities, its own highlights in the lagoon and in the nearby reef to experience. The food and the choice is very good quality, the premises were constantly kept clean. Towels, as well as towels daily (or on request) changed.
We have during our stay some valuable lesson. Coarse trash you should avoid as much as possible or take back home, since the ... maldivian problems with the disposal have. It is advisable, enough suntan creams take away. On the island you get almost all kinds of, but extortionate prices. The all-inclusive offer as regards drinks begins in the morning at 10 o'clock and ends around midnight. For every drinks, that the all-inclusive offer runs, a receipt (voucher) signed. The drive with the speedboat resembles sometimes a überlebenstrip-but on the likeable way.
Behind the bar are first of all no maldivian, but literally temporary workers from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and so on since the maldivian islamists are (for us not obvious), it is not allowed, alcohol to drink or to serve. Malediverinnen you saw the staff hardly. These are but circumstances, the slowly change. In the conversation with maledivern or even the zugereisten staff receives one a lot of information. The staff are unobtrusive, friendly, polite and in no way pushy. Even with little english one gets along here well. On staff we experienced also, the coral of the hotel reef, at the time construction the hotel were used. That's why is the nearby riff not the ideal conditions a reef. For some years it is now prohibited by law, in the korallensystem intervene, thus can the reef now very slow to recover. Taking 8., while snorkeling or diving the corals not to touch. Unfortunately we found, that our asian reisekollegen in no way this awareness.
During our stay were two-thirds of the accommodations with asians occupied. First of all chinese. Since the chinese mostly cannot swim, were the beaches not crowded and very peaceful. We noticed, that our asian friends always very loud and lively conversation. So, if you arrive here, should be prepared.
On the eastern side the island swept a fresh breeze, the stay at the beach all the pleasant made. On the opposite side, around 2 minutes away on foot, it was calm and very hot. The tiden one noticed already a strong current, the view underwater is nevertheless still remarkably.
Tip, like for instance for the occupation of the speedboat, room boy, waiter and so on for the employees very important, as many here work and so that your families on the mainland, where also always, feed. Unfortunately comes the tips but not the maledivern itself, because this, as already mentioned, often in the background work.
In between penetrated from the resort separated staff right background noises by, and then, if a soccer- or kricketmatch transferred. Some times they seemed even to have done. This aroused for us at least the impression, the staff live take place, which us to the smile brought. They seem absolute ballsportfreaks to be.
For us, the Maldives an experience, we outsiders not so can give, as we even experienced. It is and remains furthermore a urlaubstraumziel, that we, if possible, often again target will be. read more

We were very comfortable in the hotel.
Direct access to the beach. Very nice, polite staff, which really each desire of the eyes reads (especially our 3-year-old son).
The rooms were very clean and we were with fresh towels taken care of.
The selection of food and drinks was large and the quality really reasonable.
Good possibilities to go snorkeling.
The beach spacious and quiet. read more

The bad first: as regards the structure you should always a star off. Wi-fi and other services are overpriced. The nearby riff is very short and not very interesting. Partly the beach grey and hard and full of corals.
Now the positive thing: the lagoon is ideal for swimming: deep, quiet and with little current. Although the resort 97% was occupied, one hardly met people at the beach. Thus you could at the beach the beautiful bodies choose. The buffets you noticed the high occupancy not. It was both inside, as well as outside always enough seats. The food was ... diverse and the ingredients of a very high quality. The staff was very exceptionally friendly and helpful, everything worked perfect. read more

A real paradise! Very friendly friendly and accommodating staff and the whole day. There, one really the feeling the guest always comes first. Every day there were during dinner another and the selection was enormous. Even if you not like sharp food, you can find something to eat. The salad is afternoons and evenings always freshly prepared.
The excursions and the spa are quite expensive. We have only the delfinsafari made with 45 $still as a part of was. Drinks are not cheap. We had all-inclusive and would recommend this to anyone. Included are water, all soft drinks, fruit juices ..., Gin, Wodka, beer.
At the beach one always finds a free sun screen and loungers. The people distribute themselves very good on the island. My recommendation in the evening at infinity -pool the sunset enjoy \u263a
We stayed in a honeymoon water villa and it was really huge! Living room (couch, tv, kettle, espresso machine), bedroom, small dressing room with closet and massive bathroom. With a shower, toilet, bath tub. On the sun terrace we had a hot tub. Every day are stingrays vorbeigeschwommen and many other fish.
The coral at the nearby reef were somewhat disappointing, but the wildlife all the more fascinating. I have a turtle, an octopus and even a shark seen. The mantra rays you could evenings on the pier very good watch. read more

We had booked all inclusive. Half board ( without lunch) was for us totally satisfying, since the breakfast more than enough and we no lunch required. Negative it is, the neither freshly squeezed juices or cocktails in the all inclusive offer and this extra must be paid. Also, the theme restaurants not included in the all inclusive offer included. We can the hotel absolutely recommend, just with half board the rooms will 2 times cleaned daily. One side the island was fantastically beautiful and quiet, the bay for swimming and relax. The other is the open sea and always something ... restless, to the snorkeling in a great reef with coral and lots of fish. Protection from the sun and a means for sunburn one should take. Costs a lot of money in the island shop (42 dollars). read more

For us, this vacation was a dream. Actually one cannot complain about. We absolutely felt at ease.
Alone the trace is worth it. One thinks one is in a country of our time.
These colors and the whole feeling there makes a just happy!
The hotel offers good possibilities for excursions.
Which we in any case recommend is the an excursion to see the dolphins. We have many dolphins seen. This is the field in any case value. The snorkeling excursion was also very nice. One drives to 3 different reef where we totally many species of fish, turtles, Morenen ..., a shark and even again dolphin and she in the water experienced.
The service staff is nice and tries to keep every guest satisfied. You are very willing to make an effort.
The rooms are very clean( with us 3 times per day cleaned )
What we found a bit overpriced felt was Wi-Fi.
We would anytime again on Olhuveli drive. read more

I know not at all, I this review begin. First to the data
2 persons
16 days (-18-03-2012 )
All inclusive
To relax and snorkeling
Then let us start with the positive things ( simply runtergeschrieben, without particular order ):
- the transfer the island was pleasant ( about 45 minutes with the speedboat)
- the first impression on arrival 'a dream'!
- the greeting was very nice and we were after a short 'instruction' to our water villa brought.
- the water villa to was great - big enough, great view on the lying off Island from the 'deck' ... and well maintained.
- the bathroom had a shower and bath tub and was also good size
- the food evenings super ( varied, in general delicious, and especially the food zone dessert brilliant )
- the service in the restaurant were very good (everyone has a permanent waiter - with our we had very much luck-always very friendly and attentive => has then often again a dollar tip got )
- the lunch was always reasonable.
- who schnorchelt can very many beautiful fish, amongst others sharks (harmless) and rays.
- the room service was always really good ( mostly in the morning during the breakfast time, clean and evenings exchange the beach towels and, where appropriate, repeated Cleansing )
- the temperatures were nearly constant around the 30° ( evenings not really cool )
- water temperature estimated 28 °C (in the afternoon at the surface warmer )
- the water villas but a well-functioning air conditioning
- in our travel only once rains (and at night-) )
- the beach every morning from the staff maintained
- evenings is at the end the jetty the water by two strong headlight lit, so here lots of fish to hunt;, as well as 3-7 Mantas to eat come. ( very nice Spectacle!)
- Once we had also the luck, that dolphins from the jetty be observed could.
Now unfortunately become the negative things:
1. The past three days with work on the pier of the neighboring cottages could pretty much ruined-we were not previously pointed out, you were from a day on the other comforted and at the end we were given only a friendly ' Upgrade -offer' - however knew the management not, that we on the following day was check out would be. The management and the front desk is so in particular complaints absolutely not to be used.
2. Since each bungalow has its own air conditioning is it in the nature the cause, that these noises Unfortunately, the construction of the bungalows not respected, so you are on your own 'deck' unfortunately the noises of the air conditioning of the neighbors remains. You should here at a side, the opinion is, that the air conditioning the whole day walk (or roomboy it employs), so if you bad luck had.
3. The bungalows are not maintained, however this is unfortunately not for the wood parts in the outdoor area ( thus jetty, sun deck and access to the water) => here stand out in many places rusty Nails and screw from the wood. At least are petty, but nevertheless it is very unpleasant (and one should its last tetanus vaccination review.)
4. The bathroom itself was nice, but a klobürste was still no one heard. Also there is splashing ( like for instance in Sri Lanka ), so that these demand even from hand wiped must (or wait for the bell boy, which I personally however find quite disgusting.)
5. The mattress was very hard - I hate soft beds, but it was definitely too hard.
6. All inclusive is a joke. Of 'everything' inclusive can really not be called. There is for example a circa 10 side drinks menu, the one all inclusive-guest but about only one side free can order. Here you should when booking definitely look, if you really all inclusive want to book or, if you prefer paid locally ( the drinks are expensive, but for about 40 to 50 euros per person per day surcharge you would for example very many Cola for the price of 4 $drink, so that counts.). Also it must be as all inclusive-guests only in one of four restaurants 'free' food-I knew from the other all inclusive-vacations not.
7. The prices altogether were really rude - examples: A Snorkel set costs 70$, Wi-Fi for two weeks could have been 300$ cost eTC. The 'special dinner' on different days week with 85-120 $per person definitely not a bargain to values.
8. Even if the lunch and dinner in general very good, it is not the breakfast in my eyes definitely not has. It was not bad, but in the comparison couldn't keep up.
9. Whether the stomach intestine -problems the food sources or of the yellow warm water I could unfortunately not verify.
10. The offered dolphin-Tour was the biggest boondoggle during our vacation - no only dolphin. And then a super tour guide, its almost only words altogether ( at the end) were' ha ha, no dolphin today'.
11. I personally know me in the underwater world reasonably well, nevertheless I directly with the Begrüßungsinformation once asked, whether it something in the snorkeling to note is, before the one in eight to => the answer ' no, here there is nothing gefährliches'. I can rebut: they have a several Stingray (only dangerous, if you (or someone other) it annoys), remora (toxic spikes, the people normally but also in peace), stonefish ( very toxic, are on the floor between the corals-since you shouldn't coming-if you nevertheless is in my eyes your own fault) and sharks (the here really all harmless goods but with a 2a 3 meters Copy can a certain advance warning not hurt, so that you don't panic device).
12. Unfortunately, the nearby riff of corals was totally uninteresting-apparently it by the tsunami and a Korallenbleiche degraded (most reefs in Egypt are clear beautiful!). But at least the fish are still there and interesting.
Annoying is also, for the protection of the reefs almost nothing done -while in Egypt always people there, the tourists watching and whistle back, if they relate to the corals, there was the here not at all. And I have repeatedly other tourists snarled, if so asinine behavior have.
14 the sea-to the water villas is completely uninteresting ( apart from the stingray)-here gives it quasi not any Corals.
15 the room decor is good, but for two adults and 16 days it is very questionable, as one with a wardrobe ones should, in the only things hang-so without fan it is not so easy.
16. The only thing Bin, that in closet was, by the (free usable) safe occupied-as you were on a deserted island is thought way here, that this is not included in the closet anchor must-you (or anyone other) can it thus theoretically just raustragen.
17. Point 16 is perhaps a bit more interesting, that the room boys the rooms not always complete left.
18. Evening shows were a joke and partly not to endure ( for example the great 'Crab race', at the poor Einsiedlerkrebsen on the houses a number and then under deafening music ( especially Driven schallenden) start running needs )
So, that was it but now with the negative-as you can see there but unfortunately many together, which is why my heading also is' Maldives yes- Olhuveli no ' => I the hotel can so unfortunately not recommend.
In case but already your trip have should, here a few 'insider's tips'-)
1. In case A water villa have booked, tried already prior to a the Wasserviellen 112-118 to get (you have a nice view on the upstream island and would not on the Jacuzzie - Villens look.)
2. One Schnorchelanzug is absolutely unnecessary-I was partly 3 hours at the piece snorkeling, without the I cooled down would be (my so not once wore.)
3. Procures to you already prior to Dollar-only the on the island accepted. Larger Dollarschein ( the twenties) you can easily spot at the front desk conversions (one for the waiters after 'need', five for the room boys for example per week)
4. Take definitely to the snorkeling a T-shirt with I do not know, how many guests I with sunburn seen.-)
5. Take enough suntan creams with spot is the ridiculously expensive!
6. Look at definitely after the dinner the 'Manta-show' at the jetty-is really worth seeing!-)
7. If we have a strong tide is run on the sandbanks-here you can enjoy several hundred meters from the island remove and beautiful photos make.
8. The topic photos: I have my Unterwasserbilder with the following reasonably priced Camera made-from the results so far very satisfied ( even if I must say, that the recruitment definitely on 'automatic' instead of 'underwater' bodies should, as the pictures otherwise me a green received.) => Amazon.

Very nice island with two-story units along the two beaches spread. Next to a relatively large number of water bungalows but depending on the location a bit far from the main building are.
Rooms are attractively designed with air-conditioning and fan, terrace or balcony in front of the room. Bathroom in need of renovation. Sea view to the part of plants affected, but beautifully shady.
The beach our bungalow with a view of restaurant and pier is in any case the nicer of the two beaches (west side), here is the sand powdery and white. On the other side rather ... hard and gray.
There were enough beach chairs available, umbrellas were a bit scarce.
Dining room and openairbar on gangplanks laid out. Gorgeous sunsets!
Fine cuisine in buffet form, drink prices as a part of (1 bottle of wine from about American Dollar 35:00)
Beautiful reef for snorkelling, attractive spa.
In short, everything perfect for a successful stay. read more

The Olhuveli beach & spa resort was our third Maldives islands we visited. The island Olhuveli is located in the South male Atoll. Period of transfer with the speed boat about 45 minutes.
on the island there were 3 restaurants, 3 bars, 2 snack bars, a small Mall with a souvenir shop and textiles, as well as a jeweller, a beautiful SpA, a diving school and a water sports center, as well as a clinic doctor. There are 3 pools. One of which is a swimming pool for the children and a beautiful Infinity pool.
it will be daily plenty ... of excursions were offered, as for example: trip to male, to a native island, snorkel safari, dolphin safari, night fish)
the lagoon bar daily evening entertainment offered (Maldivian culture show, disco, night drinks, karaoke, live solo music, live band, crab race)
during our stay arrived guests too many from Japan and Italy, some were from Austria and Germany. read more

The dishes were delicious, each 3-4 different main foods for Asians, Italians and the rest of the world. Great especially the variety the Nachtischs and the freshly prepared selection of fruit (Mango, pineapple, melons etc. were for us freshly peeled).

The management is very friendly and hard-working. As' repeat ' (before 3 years the first time on the island) we had a candle light dinner, cocktails coupon 1 bottle of wine and got.
the island is purely for a relaxing and laid out the spirits dangle. If you active may (except for divers, snorkellers) should marriage other Select resorts.
the from us inhabited rooms 269 (Same as above 3 years) was in comparison to other rooms in already renovated Units unfortunately even in the old condition. This meant of optics and flair( for example old bathroom tiles with cracks and ... unfortunately a little mold).
the balcony was so overgrown with vegetation outside service, a view of the sea no longer possible was. As blind super, but unfortunately at the expense of the view.
the too many Young waiter in the restaurant need in our opinion, a bit of training. Only tea/ coffee to serve or lunch/dinner after drinks to questions and to serve should surely be more important than the service table the plates together or left Clear tables/clean. But this should be avenue.
it all sounds dramatic than it really was, therefore the check-in process stay consistently relaxing and the value for money (at least for US) reasonable. read more
