Wellé Wadiya Beach Villa

1. We arrived at 4am and all the staff were awake to greet us! 5 stars 2. Breakfast - at your own timing. Excellent local and international breakfast. For an authentic experience try the local food. Super amazing and delicious. Vidusha, the resident chef is very talented. 3. Rooms. Comfortable and air conditioned with ceiling fan. Firm beds and fluffy pillows. Clean sheets and soft towels. Beach towels available on request. Some rust stains on door hinges, etc but nothing dramatic. No TV - but I consider this a plus point! (I understand that the rooms are in the process of refurbishment.) 4. Beach front. Absolute beach front. You can hear the waves and winds. Clean white beach, shallow gradient with on large shore breaks at times. It is public so casual beach combers, locals, tame dogs, birds, crabs. And Donkeys! 5. Pool. Clean and blue with white deck chairs and sitting areas for functions. 6. The staff is superb. Anthony, the manager is so accommodating, attentive and pre-emptive. He always made sure we had enough water, or towels, or food. Jiwan (aka G-One) also saw to our needs. Always smiling and conscientious. On my last day there he plucked a coconut and made me a coconut drink (FOC). The cleaners and other staff were always deferential and kindly to all guests. 7. We windsurfed off the beach, and even with the extra gear and different demands, we were never found wanting. All our needs were taken care of; from an additional wash point, to masking tape; extra storage area and manpower to move furniture. 8. As of this writing, we are planning another trip. Enough said. 9. Cheers and Blessings to the hotel owners and splendid staff.

We decided to go here because they seemed to have a lot of positive reviews. But unfortunately in our opinion, the hotel failed to meet even the most basic of expectations. The food was terrible and extremely overpriced. There were no sunbeds or even chairs at the beach to sit at. Even the cut fruits we requested after lunch were unripe. Rooms were alright, although the bed sheet and the pillowcases had stains on them. The only place to hang out wet clothes or towels was a rusty wall mount rack in the toilet that ended up staining our clothes. We could've managed with the quality of service, cleanliness and facilities had there been decent food. Extremely disappointed at the quality and the exorbitant price for the food. Wouldn't really recommend this place to anyone.
