"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."

"First time to Male and I should have done more research. I figured the location being close to the beach would be great but phase ii island is under lots of construction and doesn't have the services that phase I has so this is a great location if you want steps. The noise from construction and the road noise was constant. The room cooled well, but the bathroom stayed a little warm.

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...

Excellent island hotel. Great staff. We arrived into Male at 6.30am and the hotel arranged a private transfer. Our rooms were ready early which was great after a long flight. Our double bedroom villa was perfect for our teenage kids and there was enough for them to do on the island for a week. Food was amazing with the al la carte options. Would definitely go back.

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.

For Male standards this is a good hotel. The restaurant on the top floor, is good. The staff are extremely helpful.
The hotel is opposite a Mosque, therefore expect and early wake up, but every hotel is in close proximity to a Mosque.
Personally, Male is not a very nice place to spend time.

Good location, airport shuttle service to and from and liaised with resort I was going to. On a busy road and there was a politicians speech next door but that finished at 11pm. My only issue was the rooster calling from 2am!

We stayed there for a day before going to our resort next day. Somerset is a perfect transit hotel for staying in Male. 5 minutes ferry ride and 5 more mins taxi ride from Male airport.
The complementary pickup and drop from airport was very well arranged by the hotel staff. They even contacted our next resort and arranged the transfers accordingly.

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.

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.
