The property was lovely. Enjoyed the fact that it was detached. The only minor thing was the noise of the mini-bar fridge and an air conditioning unit for next door attached to our bungalow.

Authentic experience...
Posted 18 Nov 2019 on HotelsI recently stayed at Rihiveli the dream and there were some really great things about it that I’m sure would be appealing for some. One of the things that I really appreciated were the inclusive activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, sailing, kite surfing and wind surfing.
This is a good place to go if your desire is to be out enjoying nature without spending a lot of extra money.
This isn’t a good place to go it you are looking for the five star, (4 star, 3 star or 2 star) luxury resort experience and the amenities that come with it, like air conditioning or bugs in your room.
Some of the issues with this place could quite easily be fixed. One that really stood out was the experience of the bar. When drinks are ordered they are not made in front of you. They could also become a little more creative with the between meal snack options instead of just offering two kinds of Pringle’s or a small bag of M&M’s.
It would also serve them well and their customers to install AC in some or all of their rooms and with it the ability to keep the bugs and critters out instead of being fully open to the outside with only some wide lattice separating you from the outside elements. This would at least give the choice to the more rustic customers to turn the AC off and open doors and windows if they prefer that experience.
This resort has been around for 36 years and it really shows, it doesn’t appear that anything has been updated along the way.

We felt that we were at home
Staff super kind and professional
The place is unique, super safe
We enjoy all the amenities and mostly the water sport activities ( included in the price)
One word “One of a kind !!!!!”

Rihiveli is the most enchanting place on earth. Everything is just perfect, from the location to service. The resort is set on a tiny island in the middle of a turquoise lagoon, stretching to two deserted islands reachable on foot or with kayaks. Lots of activities are included in the full board package. Food is top notch. I can’tecommend jt enough

c'est censé être une iles barefoot malheureusement c'est un mélange sable et coraux pilé mieux vaut avoir de bonne chaussure sur et dans l'eau car ici a par la marche dans 30 cm d'eau et le barbotage y'a pas beaucoup d'activité car avec la marée tous le monde cherche désespérément de la profondeur/activité attention tous et payant et cher sur l'iles (je vous déconseille le bar, cocktail cher av que de la flotte sans le gout de l'alcool) mon astuce faire tous les jours le matin si vous êtes bon nageur comme moi sur 2 km vous partez du ponton droit devant le chenal vous longez AD ou AG les coraux patate, cerveau 4 sortes de requins, gris de récif, dormeur, nourrice, pointe noir 3 sortes de raie, blanche, pastenagues..,tortue et si vous avez de la chance comme moi le dernier jour j'ai pu nager avec 50 dauphins sauvages a 2 km au fond du chenal et les sorties l'après-midi 25mn de snorkeling gratuite chaque jour au moins ça vous occupera car l'iles et assez ennuyeuse je vous en dit pas plus je vous laisse la surprise :))) !!!

Ottimo rapporto qualita’/prezzo. Isola magnifica con una laguna incredibile da vero paradiso tropicale. Ottima la location del ristorante, direttamente sull’acqua. Rihiveli non e’l’ideale per gli amanti dello snorkeling perche’non dispone di una barriera facilmente raggiungibile, ma giornalmente sono comunque organizzate uscite in barca ( incluse nella tariffa del soggiorno ) con il diving locale. Sono inoltre a disposizione paddle, windsurf e canoe, da utilizzare liberamente per un’ora al giorno. Nel complesso il resort e’assolutamente molto valido!
