We had a fantastic experience in Baros for 6 nights in January 26. Out first time in the Maldives and we could not have picked a better place to stay. The service was amazing and we were extremely well looked after by Ijaz and all the stuff who were so friendly and helpful. The resort is beautiful, luxurious and clean and tidy. The house reef was spectacular and assistance with snorkelling, water sports and trips was perfect. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere with great live music (not obtrusive) and restaurants and food was wonderful. We would definitely love to return

Traveled with a group of friends and truly had the trip of a lifetime. The resort is stunning. The snorkeling was outstanding! The grounds and amenities just beautiful! The spa and the staff also top notch. EVERY staff member was pleasant, attentive and went above and beyond. Our personal butler, Ijaz was amazing. He made sure everyone in our 10 person party had whatever they needed at all times.

Boros Resort is like a dream of a tropical island. Its indescribable beauty is almost matched by its outstanding staff. Shinta was my assigned butler and provided amazing detailed assistance with my meal plan and my many questions. I also appreciated Sujata,Shimla at Lime Restaurant, Justus, and Rishi. Everyone including ground keepers were friendly and eager for me to get the most out of my stays half over water villa and half in a white sand beach villa. Food preparation and breakfast buffet world class. My plan is to return. Repeat guests abound at this secluded piece of paradise. From the boat ride direct from the airport dock to the island to the tearful farewell I felt surrounded by new friends amidst stunning beauty in a quiet natural setting. Beaches and swimming with well placed spaces for guests and a flexible staff added to my enjoyment. I cannot say more.

We had a great time at Baros. We were only there for three nights before we had to go to the Ritz Carlton. I liked Baros better. The reef was great. So easy to see sharks. Heard there were turtles, but we did not see any. When we were there, the reef had a bit of a current, so it was hard to stay in place. We just floated down the reef. The food was very good. Nothing fancy, but just good (I did not go to the fancier restaurant). Fish was very fresh, as you would hope. We had a overwater villa. It was fantastic. I highly recommend those more than the beach villa (at any Maldives resort). The island is very close to Male, which has both positives and negatives. The negative is that you can see other islands and ships from Baros. You don't get the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere that you can get with many of the other islands. The positive is that the ride to Baros is short by boat and that is great after a long flight to get there. I have taken sea planes to another island and they add a lot to the travel time.
