"We stayed at the resort for 3 nights. The food was delicious in all the restaurants. We enjoyed Thai cuisine, local cuisine, and international cuisine. The staff went out of their way to meet any and all of our requests. What we enjoyed the most is the calm and relaxing atmosphere of the resort and the proximity to the airport in Male.
We took all inclusive meal plan which worked perfectly for us. The spa facilities are also excellent."

It was our frst time visiting the Maldives and Baros lived up to everything we wished for. Being only 25 minutes by speed boat from the airport we wondered about aircraft noise but only seen 2 planes in 5 days and heard no noise. The staff were very friendly and couldnt do enough for you. We will definately go back again to Baros Island.

This is without doubt the ideal tropical retreat, no motorised vehicles just 46 beachside bungalows spread out around the perimeter of the island, which means that you can walk completely around the island on the beach in 15 minutes! This is the place to come if you want nothing more than water activities, sunbathing,eating,drinking and catching up on your favourite novels.
The ratio of staff to guests is one to one although you may never see the majority as they are working behind the scenes...

Great location in-between islands, about 25 minuets speedboat trip from airport. Welcome tea with iced towel was refreshing and helps sickness from the waves. Private beachfront villa is the best choice with its personal pool and a warm massage pool. The in-villa dining was not expensive with all kinds of options, kids and vegetarian friendly. One restaurant and a bar on the island could cover all your needs. Their steak from the grill was nice and juicy. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was...

We absolutely loved the resort. First is the location, it is only about 10 minutes from the airport. We were so happy as we got a free transfer to/from airport because island transfers can be expensive. Second the views from all parts of the property are just stunning. Third the food! We took the all inclusive package and wow the options they had were amazing. We were so full every time. Desserts are the highlight. Fourth the staff, very cooperative and very friendly.

I approached Oblu Ailafushi with some hesitation due to mixed reviews but was thoroughly charmed upon arrival. The resort's willingness to accommodate an early check-in for our family, especially with a young child in tow, was a relief and set a hospitable tone for our stay. The food was a highlight, offering a delectable spread of various cuisines, including exceptional local Maldivian dishes that deserve every bit of their 5-star rating. The buffet was a hit with both adults and children,...

First time on Bandos and won't be the last. Excellent holiday. Staff were wonderful. Great choice of food and drink on the all inclusive package.
The island is pretty and well kept, and surrounding sea is crystal clear which makes snorkeling amazing.

It is hard to describe just how truly excellent this hotel and its staff were. From the moment of stepping off the air conditioned boat after a 45 minute ride from Male, you experience a beautiful luxury island and warm and informative welcome from the staff.

We stayed for 8 nights and had such a relaxing and enjoyable time. We stayed in a deluxe bungalow and it was a 5 second walk from the beach. The room was perfect and the outdoor shower amazing! Snorkelling with sharks was my favourite highlight.

The review that persuaded me to book this hotel was the one which said something like 'I'm not a beach person but I loved this hotel'. Beautiful, peaceful, discreet, the attention to detail. L'occitane bathroom products, very comfortable bed, a shower and bathroom open to the warm air, delicious food in the restaurant (evening buffet concentrated on quality rather than quantity but there were still many choices). A most restful 3 days, one of the best hotels in 35 years of travelling.
