Hotel Dengan Spa di Baa Atoll, Maldives

The hotel is brand new, you can still smell the fresh plaster! 😀 All the furniture, bedding, towels, and sanitary ware are new. The first room we got was too small for two people. The next day, we asked if we could switch to a different room. The staff were very accommodating and gave us an amazing room, at no extra charge, in another building of the HAWKS chain. There are three hotels in the chain: NEST, WINGS, and WRANS. After three nights, they offered us a free upgrade to an improved room with a balcony and ocean view. All three hotels provide slippers, bathrobes, and a wide range of personal hygiene products, even natural loofahs. The bedding and towels are spotless white. Beach towels, masks, snorkels, and fins are all provided for free upon request. The buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner were just okay. For a hotel of this caliber, it could have been much better. No one starved, of course. You can also order from the à la carte menu. It's tastier and sometimes even cheaper. Dinner itself costs $15. The staff are very responsive and always resolve any issues. Special thanks to Ali and Hassan. Hassan is a waiter and a photographer all in one! I'd recommend the hotel owner replace the sun loungers on the beach with more comfortable ones, and definitely improve the food. I recommend this hotel and might even return. Oh, I forgot to mention, the hotel offers welcome compliments. Just ask, as they don't really advertise them.

Highly recommended! All the hotel's facilities are new, the beach is A-grade, the snorkeling is A-grade, and the service is top-notch. All the restaurants on the island are very delicious. It is recommended to include breakfast and dinner because the dishes are so large. When we were on the island, the only Chinese-speaking housekeeper was on vacation. Our housekeeper was Nathu, a very beautiful, cute and capable girl, and all the waiters on the island worked hard to interact with us in Chinese, which was a good experience. There is a professional snorkeling instructor who is very enthusiastic about explaining which types of fish can be seen in which areas. We stayed for 5 nights and snorkeled 3 times. We saw babyshake, rays, swordfish and many colorful small fish. . It is recommended to participate in the sunset fishing activity. I caught a lot of fish in 2 hours and the experience was great. This is a resort worth experiencing. Compared with islands of the same quality, the price of Avani is obviously much cheaper and the price-performance ratio is very high. highly recommended!

I left the hotel today and am writing this from a fresh perspective. I'll say the main thing right away: the hotel is in a great location; fresh salty air wafts through the open window in the mornings and evenings. The hotel is right on the pier where all the boats are—it's beautiful. In the evening, sharks come swimming. You can feed them fish. Inside: the rooms are large, new, and fully equipped. They clean every day, and there's plenty of drinking water. Beach towels are plentiful. In the midday heat, you can linger in the shade of the trees on the shore near your room. Sun loungers, umbrellas, and tables—everything is there. Snorkeling and SUPs are the best place for it. This hotel is right there. The staff: kind, helpful, and empathetic. The house reef is great: dolphins, turtles, manta rays, schools of fish. I saw it all myself. Bikini Beach is a 5-minute walk along the shore. You can walk along the streets – 10 minutes. The breakfasts were nutritious. They helped organize all the boat excursions and fishing trips. They were very supportive and attentive. Adam is the manager. Always ready to talk and help. A special shout out to Yusuf 🤍 Without him, my understanding of the island and local life would have been limited. He did everything he could every day to ensure I enjoyed myself. It was an incredible experience. I'll definitely be back. And to this hotel. There are hotels on the island closer to Bikini Beach, but you won't hear the surf or see the sunrise there because of their location. And the hotels are located on the streets – it's stuffy. If you're choosing where to stay, choose this hotel. I recommend it!

Unforgettable experience! Beautiful island, fortunately not rebuilt for tourists but with the respect of their Maldivian  culture.  Incredible nature and all the people that work there are all very kind and welcoming. we were truly happy.Tthe only small flaw is that the activities and extras  are really expensive and in a hotel like this it is not proportionate. We could have done many excursions and booked every day massages etc but with such high prices we limited ourselves to two. the risk is to lose opportunities. so this is my only advice. Thanks anyway for this beautiful holiday! See you soon

Provide the flight information to the hotel in advance. Everything is arranged very well from the pick-up. The hotel has a special waiting lounge at the water airport. There are biscuits and soft drinks. If the return flight is very late, it takes a long time to wait. It is still necessary to rest in the lounge. The room is similar to the introduction. The Pad that controls the various facilities in the house is a bit old and it feels a bit dirty on the hand. There are also towels that are broken... I ordered half a package meal. There are teppanyaki Japanese restaurants in the five restaurants that need to pay extra. The remaining four restaurants taste good. And the weight is very large. Our family of three will have a little left. For the Chinese, it may be that there are fewer vegetables on the island, and others are always able to find a meal that suits the taste. Half a pack is not including drinks, the ”wine” here also includes ordinary water, free bottled water in the room and in various parts of the hotel, at the restaurant to pay for meals, $6 a bottle does not include tax and service charges. The activities cost about 200 dollars a person, and at least four people. The children still wanted to snorkel on the last day, but they didn't have enough four people to make an appointment to go into the water at the hotel pier without taking a boat. The hourly fee is $320 including tax. On the island for 6 days, there has been a strong wind hanging red flags and can not go to sea. Three days of cloudy days rain intermittently. Most of the time, I spend time in the hotel club. Billiards, table tennis, tennis, football tables. Children can also draw one-to-one, and $50 at a time needs to pay cash. Both snorkelings were on the water near the hotel. Someone snorkeled by himself and did not need the hotel's security guard to lead. I have not snorkeled before in my family, and I am worried about the wind and the waves, so I asked the security guard to lead. Later, I will go to Madai in its peak season, and I still have a lot of regrets for not going to sea, although there are often fish swimming under the water house. The hotel staff are very enthusiastic, maybe I look forward to a little tip, the habit is different, it is understandable, 6 days and 5 nights to give a total of more than 50 dollars of tips, go out or bring more than 1 yuan change.

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.

Recommend Benjarong Thai restaurant. I am very satisfied. It is very cost-effective to buy 3 meals. Children who are 11 years old also eat and stay for free. The hotel service is very good, suitable for those who like Southeast Asian food. Recommended manta season I can't see it without checking. Also, prepare your own diving mask, camera, and swimsuit. Ocean or water rooms are recommended. The beach room in the sea didn't go out pretty. Saw a baby turtle in place of the over water house. I didn't see the little shark. It's good for novices. One dissatisfaction is that Ctrip's booking of seaplane tickets is too expensive, which is worse than other travel agency packages. Ctrip is more expensive and did not send items. You can compare prices with other travel agencies.

Shuifei arrives at the hotel in 30 minutes. The service is not bad. There are many types of breakfast and dinner, mainly Western style. Dinner is almost no seafood. There are grilled steak, grilled lamb chops and grilled shrimps. The hotel is really big and the tail beach is also very good Beautiful, the restaurant on the trailing beach only has lunch, there is basically nothing to eat, the taste is not suitable for Chinese people,

Our stay in isla retreat was on 100/10! I liked absolutely everything. I would like to express my gratitude to all the staff who surrounded us with care throughout the rest. The food was incredibly tasty, the purity is flawless, the whole service deserves not less than 5 stars. When we arrived, we took a small tour of the island, and then on the map showed where what is located, where you can swim, and where dangerous flows. There is a lot of entertainment in the hotel: library, billiard, waist, bicycles. We even looked at the moon in the telescope! We had breakfast and dinner and everything was very delicious. The menu is large enough to not get bored, and all so delicious that many positions we chose for several days in a row (catch of the day ❤️). There was always enough drinking water and towels in the rooms. And in general, all the filling of the room deserves a separate mention - from the teapot, to the yoga carpet. All staff are always ready to help or answer the question. The hotel is surrounded by green, the balconies can fly the bats, which we have been infinitely delighted. There is a small beach near the hotel where you can rest in the shadows or look at the star sky. Fehendhoo and Isla retreat broke my heart, I hope I can come again! 💔
