As it's a special aniversary, is a higher quality room important to you or are you not too bothered. I know a lot of people are happy with the standard beach bungalows at Veligandu, I don't think they are too small given that the amount of time you actually spend in your room is limited usually to showering and sleeping.

Personally, I would go for either a water bungalow on Veligandu or a jaquizzi beach Villa at Komandoo. The standard beach villas at komandoo are also very nice, four poster bed etc - much nicer than the beach bungalows at Veligandu.

Room standard is not too important although would like a nice terrace to sit out on with a good view, any idea if the beach bungalows at Veligandu have sun loungers? from pictures I can only see plastic chairs? Had a message back from Komandoo stating no availibility, Veligandu have beach bungalows and delux water villas available, DWV are double the price and to be honest I am not that fussed about being over water to warrent the difference in price.
Still struggling!!!

Anymore info about Veligandu would be appreciated.

I think the bungalows might have both. The white plastic chairs on the patio and the loungers on the beach.

Why don't you zip them a quick email and ask them.

I certainly would stay in a beach bungalow at Veligandu - they look very similar to the ones I always stay in at Lily Beach.

Have e-mailed them twice over last two days and not had any response back??

Is it just the pace of life over there, am I being to impatient??

Lily beach have always answered me within a day.

Why not post a question on this forum as there are a few people who have been to Veli. It's a shame the forum on the veli web site was shut down a while ago as you could have had a reply straight away.

Thanks for feedback, I have since received and e-mail from Veligandu advising they are not taking advance bookings for November, I think I may need to wait till nearer the time to try booking direct. Crown tours have sent me a quote so I am getting there!!!
