Vatulele Island Vacations from $967

Stayed in the Obana, which as explained is TINY. But as solo traveler it was fine. I spent most of my time on the porch and loved that there was a fan and sun shades on 3 sides which I used to block the monsoon rains and still allowed me to be on the porch. The little bungalow was very clean. The beach is not a sandy paradise, not great for swimming but you can walk down the beach to the lagoon. I spent my time scuba diving, I didn’t need much more water time.I rarely to never watch Television, but I was so happy there was Netflix when absolutely poured rain all day and night. I used one the bikes, it definitely needs some love, but is basically worked. The grounds very well maintained and lovely. The staff very pleasant and very responsive to any needs. It’s bit far from town but enjoyed taking the local bus. The taxi driver, Bablu the hotel uses is a gem. He was so helpful. He saved the day for me when I was having great difficulty reaching someone on the island

Most notably, the Expedia description said that a basic double room came with a private bathroom. That’s not true. It’s shared bathroom and I was unprepared for that. The facilities are ok. A little run down but clean. Mosquitoes get into the room because there are holes in the window screens and gaps under and above the door. I’m glad I had a plugin mosquito repellent. But I got bitten by red ants… Another challenge is that it’s a bit of a walk from the main road. Since it gets dark at around 6pm, I didn’t feel comfortable walking back to my room from restaurants on the Main Street (I think it’s called queens rd) at night after dinner. And it’s too close to take a taxi from Main Street restaurants to the hotel. The staff is nice and offered to keep an eye for me as I walked back. Regardless, I avoided walking after dark as much as possible. Otherwise, it’s fine for a short stay.

Amazing! Pick this resort if you want something low-key and relaxing. The staff are super accommodating and go above and beyond.

We had the most amazing honeymoon, from the get go we were greeted with smiles and hugs. The property was spectacular, ocean views from your room, at breakfast, lunch and dinner. We arranged for massages and had the pleasure of a couples massage in the open air of the island. Dolphin Island is a truly special place not just because of its natural beauty but because of the wonderful people that work there. Dawn was gracious attended to our needs and most importantly allowed us to make the island our home away from home. The staff worked to accommodate whatever we needed and in all reality we didn’t need much. The Island and the people really made our honeymoon special, and we can only help to return again someday!
