Hotel 5-Star di Baa Atoll, Maldives

Firstly, there was a clear communication via email and whatsapp before departure. Appreciate that! It helped us clear our doubts and prepare the amount of money required for our trip. Secondly, it was easy to spot the rep at the seaplane check-in area. Then, there was a private transfer to the seaplane terminal. Everything was amazing! We landed in the middle of the sea and got picked up by the hotel's boat. It was another amazing experience for us to have flown on a seaplane and disembarked the plane in the middle of the sea. There was a simple and welcoming drum procession upon arrival from the jetty to the bar, where we were served a welcome drink and given a cold towel. Our host did her part in explaining everything to us and that was the last we saw her. She was nowhere seen or neither did she texted us to ask about our wellbeing throughout our stay there for 5 days. We requested to swap our excursion and she managed to do so for us. Then, there was no personal nor virtual communication. We saw other hosts checking on their guests during meal time and on whatsapp so this was rather disappointing. We took matters into our own hand by dealing with the reception directly for our request. We had our meals at the buffet restaurant. Most of the meals came with different selections of food daily so we weren't bored of the food there. The waiting staff and kitchen staff did a good job there! Most of them were beaming with smiles but evidently, they were more friendly towards the non-asian patrons, though we didn't really care because on the last day, we only tipped those who really served us 'sincerely'. The bartenders were especially friendly. The room was kept clean and tidy throughout our stay, no complaints there! We saw the same housekeeping/luggage transfer guy checking on us twice daily with bright smile. Kudos to him! Overall, for what we paid, I can assure you that this is one of the best places I have ever been. No regrets!

Had a great holiday at the beautiful Westin. The 45-minute flight distance from Male Airport is just right, and the hotel's pick-up and drop-off services are very attentive. Our order included breakfast and dinner, and one of the dinners could be reserved at the Japanese restaurant. The buffet has a rich variety and you can taste food from different countries. Due to the strong wind and waves during this period, unfortunately we were unable to participate in sea activities such as paddle boarding, but the coaches held a fierce volleyball match in the swimming pool. You can see some corals 🪸 and tropical fish 🐠 while snorkeling. The room facilities are impeccable. The most impressive thing is the enthusiasm of the staff. Whether it is the welcome and farewell queue at the pier, the chat in the restaurant, or the greetings when we meet on the road, it makes you feel as if you are in a familiar community and feel more relaxed and comfortable. If there is a chance in the future, I will come again!

We’ve travelled to many places around the world and stayed in countless hotels and resorts — some even more expensive than this — but Vakkaru is truly the BEST experience we’ve ever had. Baa Atoll is already one of the world’s most pristine ecological reserves, and the resort’s blue holes and sandbanks are simply addictive. We could visit them several times a day and still never get enough. At any moment, you’ll find different kinds of fish swimming freely around you. Beyond the beauty and the facilities, what truly makes Vakkaru unforgettable is the people. Our butler Myat, the sommelier, and our roomboy Mohamond all went above and beyond, offering the warmest, most thoughtful care throughout our stay. Their kindness made all the difference. It’s really hard for us to leave. We will definitely be back — and without a doubt, we’ll choose Vakkaru again.

This was our first trip to the Maldives, and it exceeded all expectations. A huge thank you to Saida for the warm welcome, her help with organizing a romantic dinner, and her prompt response to any questions. We also thank Saji and Murali for their attentive service and excellent service. Murali quickly remembered our preferences and always greeted us with a smile. The food was delicious and varied, with something for everyone. There are plenty of activities on the island: tennis, volleyball, billiards, and more. I'd especially like to mention the excellent massage and the stunning reef opposite our villa 207 – on the very first day, we saw a shark and a multitude of fish, and we enjoyed incredible sunsets every evening. The only downside was the mosquitoes, even though the area is regularly sanitized. Otherwise, the stay was wonderful. Thanks to the entire team for an unforgettable vacation! A few tips for future guests: Be sure to bring good sunscreen and a hat – the sun is very strong in the Maldives. For snorkeling and extended periods in the water, I recommend a one-piece swimsuit or burkini. Thanks to it, I barely got sunburned, only my ears, so a Panama hat or a hat would definitely be a good idea. I also recommend bringing mosquito repellent—despite regular treatments, they still pop up.

The scenery didn't have to be said, but from the evening, there were a lot of huge cockroaches indoors and outdoors. It was very affecting the experience. On the day of the departure, the hotel made a mistake in my trip, which caused me to wake up at 5:30 in the morning and told me that I had to leave the store after 20 minutes. They put the notice of leaving the store at an inconspicuous place at the door. I didn't see the information that I personally think is important. It is best to ensure that I can do it if I can do it. My best day experience will not be destroyed.

When choosing a hotel in the Maldives, it's essential to pinpoint your priorities. Having previously stayed at a lagoon island in Fiji, and now seeing the stunning lagoons at Filitheyo in the Maldives, my focus for this resort experience was on the holiday vibe, dining, service, and snorkeling. Dusit Thani Maldives completely exceeded our expectations in all these aspects. The sea in front of the Ocean Villas was a true 'glass sea,' and the views from the various restaurants were also excellent. What truly stood out was the hotel's service, which surpassed any hotel I've stayed at before – incredibly attentive and thoughtful. I highly recommend Dusit Thani for those prioritizing a relaxing holiday. If you're new to island travel, consider choosing a lagoon island to experience breathtaking ocean colors.

We chose this hotel, the price/performance ratio is really good. After the trip, some people arranged for pick-up and drop-off, arranged for the inland plane and speedboat to arrive at the resort. After arriving at the fake village, the service staff sent a welcome to each person. We originally booked 5 I lived in a luxury villa in the evening. Fortunately, I can live in the water villa on the 4th night. The two villas have their own characteristics. The luxury villas can see the sunset, the water villas can see the sunrise, and everything is well arranged. The beach has white sand and the water is very blue. We cleaned the room twice a day. We booked a full breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was also served in the same main restaurant. The waiter was very polite. Every night there are different dishes and facilities. Enough, in addition to drinking water, only one bottle is supplied per room per day. The water in the hose is only filtered once and the salt is not completely filtered. Therefore, it is not suitable for drinking. To drink extra water, you should buy it at the restaurant or bar.

We had an unforgettable experience in Avani Maldives. Our guide beautiful Nathu is really nice, she helped us solved many problems and satisfied any needs that we required to help us with a wonderful honeymoon holidays. Food: really nice and delicious, especially Charcoal, where my husband really liked it and we booked two dinners there. Staffs: all people are nice and friendly, they made lovely beds and warm words to help us with our sleep. Villa: Nice and new. Good snorkeling views. Definitely strong recommendation. For anyone who come to Maldives, this could be your first choice!

Miledo is a quiet and private island, which is a proud selling point of the hotel. Before going to the island, I was received by the hotel staff from Male Airport. I heard them say countless times that ”our hotel is a small island”, but I really live on the island. I have a deep understanding of this. Miledo is a very recommended place for young couples and quieter than the romantic world of two people. There are the following recommendations: Snorkeling conditions are excellent. Water house 109-115, the balcony is very good to see the sunset, and the snorkeling conditions outside the water house are very good, the water is not deep, many places can step on the end, but because there are many corals, there are many varieties of fish. Every morning, take advantage of the sun to quickly enter the water, the fish in the morning is also the most in the day, After snorkeling for breakfast, it is really the happiest thing every day. 2. The meal is quite good, and the Chinese stomach is also suitable. I ordered HB. Breakfast is a combination of buffet and ordering. I hold it until the afternoon every day. I basically have no appeal for lunch. Dinner three-course, Chinese stomach choice is slightly less, but grilled lamb chops, steak, chicken, fish, daily experience a different is enough. 3. Butler service is very intimate. We arrived at Male Airport at 8 am. We communicated with the housekeeper in advance and arranged for us to fly more than 9 o'clock. We took a special car and picked up the whole journey to the VIP room. There was no delay. We arrived at the hotel at 11 o'clock and checked in early. The housekeeper also communicated according to my email in advance, hoping to see the needs of the sunset, arranged room 113 of the water house, the viewing angle is very good. The last plane leaving Male was 8 pm, and the housekeeper helped us apply for a late check-out. We contacted in advance to arrange the latest flight at 4 pm, and there was no waste of time. All the staff on the island are very warm and caring. We were asked to leave the room, arrange cleaning immediately, fresh fruit and biscuits every day, and also presented champagne, the ceremony was full. Finally, although the island area of the hotel is not large, it takes 20 minutes for two people to walk. The environment on the island is very good. It takes more than an hour to take pictures while shopping. In Miletu's 3 naiveté, I felt what a paradise. After returning to Shanghai, I quit and responded very badly. I dreamed at night and I could dream that I could open the door and play with beautiful little fish in the sea.

A great trip, it hasn't rained for the past four days, the island is beautiful and the temperature is very comfortable. Shuifei sees the island is also very beautiful, that is, when you go, you can't catch up with the water. You have to turn to the inland water and transport the children with a little toss, and everything else is very good. There are many things to eat on the island. The fruits are very fresh. The next day I went to the sea to see dolphins. A group of people went to the sea to fish in the evening of the third day. It was also full of harvest, so they could be processed and sent directly to the hotel. For a big meal, you can have an extra bed, a bed for children under 11 years old. The hotel must specify the information of each traveler, age of men and women, help them arrange check-in information, make an appointment for water flight in advance.
