The food at Baros is top notch. Breakfast was fantastic every day that I was there. I stayed in an overwater villa with great views. Snorkeling at the house reef gave way to views of wonderful underwater life. When I come back to Maldives, I will book this place without hesitation. As for the expedia option of pre-paying for dinner, don't. Just go a la cart and not feel obligated to eat at the same restaurant. It's priced such that you are getting the maximum priced items on the menu each night and only includes one of the three restaurants. The food is great at that restaurant though, so no complaints there. I would have preferred more flexibility in how I used those funds.

The Baros Hotel was one of the best resort experiences we have ever had! The island itself is beautiful and the resort blends in nicely with the environment. The staff were excellent and even helped us with staying on the island until our 1:45 AM flight. The food was excellent, especially the French cuisine at The Lighthouse. We will definitely come again. Shout out to our fantastic butler, Rau. She made everything she did seem effortless.

This is a peaceful retreat. The service is incredible, they are there but don't hassle you all the time asking if everything is alright. The transfers both to and fro from the airport are seamless we have been here five times and never had a problem. The food is really good with plenty of options. The reef has many fish,despite having rain most of the week we saw turtles,sharks,ray and over a 100 different fish. The reef is easily accessible from the shore in both low and high tide.

We have been on many trips around the world. The Baros Maldives trips is hands down the greatest trip. I think the beauty of the place is found in the size of the place and the services. The island is not huge and sprawling. Therefore, everything is at your fingertips. Want a massage? Walk 2 minutes over here. Want a GOOD bite to eat? Walk 3 minutes over here. Want a drink, a smoke, and to play some billiards? Walk 3 minutes here. Want to snorkel on a reef that other visitors on other islands have to travel an hour to do? Walk 5 minutes over here. They have their own house reef (which is rare in Maldives) with every possible marine animal you can imagine. Tons of colorful fish, colorful corals, sharks (do not worry they are not bad), rays, lobsters, turtles…a lot. Want to just chill in a pool? Well you probably have one in your villa, so walk 10 seconds to it. Or walk 3 minutes to the infinity pool. All of this is at your hands, so there is no wasted time. Instead of trying to figure out where you are going, you are already there enjoying. You cannot put a price on time, and this resort is a time-saver. The best vacation, and we have visited 30 countries. Shout out to our butler Reema, and attendant Shah. They were the best. Yes, you have a butler and attendant 24/7. Did I forget to mention that?

Baros is a dream destination, located in between a lagoon and a beautiful reef. By the way, the house reef is incredible and you can spot many species, including sharks, turtles, rays and hundreds of species of fish. The staff is super friendly and the breakfast is one of the best I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend it and I want to go back.

If you are looking for a 5 star luxury boutique set on a private island with impeccable but not overly solicitous service look no further. Breakfast…best I’ve ever had. Reef snorkeling…unbelievable. Baros is the jewel of the Maldives celebrating 50 years but looks brand new. There’s a reason it was one of the first resorts! Ideal location and top reef. Thanks to Lala, Upsy and Hasir. See u again soon!

Where to start! I have travelled and been to many 5* hotels what I loved and found unique about the Baros hotel was the happiness and kindness of the staff. It was just such a positive happy place! I highly recommend booking the water villa and our favorite restaurant was the lighthouse. They have an amazing spa to not miss! Snorkeling there was like swimming in an aquarium so many things to see you absolutely breathtaking Overall book this hotel, I tried different ones in Maldives and this is by far my favorite one - they offer great perks for Expedia members
