Baros Maldives

My third trip to Baros over 9 years and my first solo trip. Great as always and I’m looking forward to my fourth. A beautiful, quiet island and perfect to relax on. My butler Reema was superb and the best by far, thank you for making my stay perfect. A surprise bath after snorkelling really made my day! Thank you to Domi as well :) So many other great staff to mention! I stayed in a deluxe villa (107) and I love the snorkelling close to the beach.

Where do I start with this incredible place and people. The welcome and departure is so heartwarming you just don’t want to leave. John is the master and a true captain of industry as his attention to detail is outstanding. If you want the best massage on the planet this is the place and Tini was just sensational. My biggest praise must go to Anas who went way above and beyond for us even when we asked for Sui Mie and Thai chicken larb for lunch, nothing was a problem. Anas you will be running your own resort in time as you are a gentleman with an epic eye for client satisfaction. Baros and all of you are firmly in my heart and we cannot wait to return. Tell the sharks I miss them too. See you guys. Take it easy. Lee

Outstanding resort, peaceful, beautiful but wine is too expensive! We were a family of 6 adults and stayed for 10 days, 2 beach villas and one beach suite with a private pool. Beautiful rooms, outstanding reef for snorkeling, great food at Lime and really great staff. Engaged and helpful. Probably not a place for children as there is little for them to do. Food is great but we were glad we had the HB package because on the 2 nights we dined in other restaurants with a 35% discount, we ended up paying an additional $900 (between 6 people!) with just 2 beers for me! We are not all-inclusive resort type people, and we are not regular wine drinkers, but the price of wine! $15 a bottle at retail for over $200 in their restaurant, with many over $1000!! If your money is honestly hard earned and you have paid your taxes I don’t think this is right, and yes I understand it’s a Muslim country and alcohol is only allowed in resorts, but I think this is OTT. Cocktails are what you expect in a 5-star resort, say $22 plus tax (which are high btw, so all up cost was USD 30) for a Martini, but I thought this was OK. Similarly, water sports, or specifically non-motorised water sports such as Kayaks and sailing were all charged at high rates, $80 for an hour! We didn’t see much activity as a result, and I think the hotel needs a re-think. There is more money to be made and a better guest experience by including some of these in the rate. Motorised water sport I understand should be chargeable, but the hotel really needs to look at the price to volume of uptake on water sports. During our stay we saw 2 kayaks out for one hour in the whole 10 days, that was it for all water sports, the rest of the time it was idle. All said and done, it was an excellent stay, and we would probably go back. An easier decision if there were a few less expensive house wines on the menu and Kayaks were included in the room rate.

Had a great time at Baros hotel ! The island is green, beautiful, colorful reef with a variety of inhabitants🐟. Our family was assisted by a hotel employee — Aziza. A wonderful and very attentive employee! --- all our requests and questions never went without her attention and help! Highly recommended))🫶🏻🏝️ Very employees and all management,🌟 excellent breakfast and excellent cuisine in the a la carte restaurants 🌟

Could not have dreamt of a better experience! This was luxury and service like I have never known and could not even have dreamt of. Every single member of staff was so kind and generous. The island is ludicrously beautiful. The house reef is so exciting, bursting with sharks, turtles and even rays. There is a perfect blend of privacy and luxury activities. The food was sensational. It was all capped off with our incredible butler Anas, who ensured that we were able to have the most magical engagement trip!
