Perfect stay in paradise!
Kudos to Shafeeq for the great housekeeping, twice a day!
We were lucky to join Bandos 52nd Anniversary Celebrations and met so many friendly staff members and returning guests.
Reef was great for snorkelling. We will be back.
The water house with a swimming pool is in Xindao, and the facilities inside are relatively new, but it is some distance from the hotel reception, and you need to take a shuttle bus. On the last night, the hotel helped arrange the farewell, which was very heartwarming.
The hotel is located on the beach. The layout and sea view of the high-rise rooms are very good. You can see the sea from the bed, which should be the ceiling of Dhiffushi Island. The facilities such as sea entertainment are complete, and the supporting restaurant is also very good. It would be perfect if the price was more affordable.
Excellent hotel, very clean, the room was cleaned every day, 3 liters of drinking water were provided for a family of 2 adults and 2 children every day. Very polite and responsive staff. We went on an evening fishing excursion from the hotel. We caught 10 fish. The next day, we had 5 fish fried for dinner at the hotel restaurant and the buffet was provided for free. It was very tasty.
This hotel wasn't my reservation; the original hotel had a last-minute cancellation on the day of check-in, and Ctrip coordinated and upgraded it. I don't know the exact room rate, and I didn't have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival.
First, the hotel is located in the first row, right in the middle, closest to the sea and the pier (the blue and white building). Every room has a large balcony and a direct sea view. The location and amenities are much better than the Arena recommended on Redbook.
Second, the hotel is quite established, with its own tour company, icom tour, and its own speedboat terminal and fleet, icom speedboats, in Male and Maafushi. I'm guessing they started out as a ferry operator, then branched out into tourism, with the hotel being their latest investment. Upon stepping off the speedboat, hotel staff greeted me with an umbrella, and when I left the island, staff helped me load my luggage onto a courier. It was a truly memorable experience. Finally, in the Maldives, known for its culinary desert, the hotel's food perfectly satisfied my Chinese palate. I couldn't believe I could get a huge plate of Lao Gan Ma squid rice bowl or stir-fried beef noodles for just $8!
However, there are still many areas for improvement, such as: the lack of luggage storage in the room, room cleaning only once during our five-day stay, and the price of drinks being a bit high...
Overall, the hotel's flaws outweigh its merits, and I highly recommend staying here!
Don't mention how much regret it has, and spent too much money! I booked through the agency, I took the children myself. After I went there, I didn’t need an extra bed. The children would have to add 46 dollars a day. The Chinese dinner should be taken care of. For every meal, add 25 dollars, which adds 96 dollars a day. The bar has to pay for it. I searched for all-inclusive, this hotel under the all-inclusive package. After I went there, I said that there is no all-inclusive statement through the agency! The agent pit is dead.
We have a wonderful 5 nights here. Most people here are kind and helpful. We especially thanks to Chinmoy for his kindly and touching service that makes this holiday more special for our family. And we also thanks to Binod for his smile and offering good quality of food. We want to thank to the doctor for helping my wife to overcome the pain. The housekeeping Mr. Haneef did great job to fulfill all our needs. The front desk Miss Shau and the one from China (sorry that I forget to take note of her name) also offer us good help. The snorkeling is real good and we enjoy the atomosphere of relaxing here. We will definitely come back and have another good holiday here.
The hotel is located close to the airport, 10 minutes by boat, the megalopolis of Male is visible, so I felt like I was on an island in Abu Dhabu. Villas overlook another island and the ocean. The rooms in the building are tired - 3 stars. The shampoo and gel in the room were of low quality and differed from the assortment of the villa. When you fly with hand luggage, it is important to have high-quality cosmetics in the hotel. Is it really necessary to save on this? The air conditioner in the room did not turn off at all and was noisy, so I slept in earplugs. The weather was rainy and stormy, so all the minuses of the hotel crawled out. Firstly, the restaurant, bar and lobby are not cozy, without much design. Secondly, there was INSTANT coffee for breakfast. Espresso or cappuccino for breakfast were only for an additional fee. Thirdly, the full board food was not at all pleasing. Every day there was the same dry fish. Seafood - frozen and tasteless. Meat and chicken are ok. All fruits and vegetables are unripe, tasteless and of low quality. Sometimes there were dishes with tasty sauce. Fourthly, the reefs in the ocean are nothing special, there is no variety of fish. On the plus side - it is ok to go in and swim in the ocean, the hotel is quiet.
Staying at the Sheraton Maldives was an incredible experience. Out of all the resorts I’ve visited, this one stands out as amazing. They offer so much to do and keep you well informed. We had a personal assistant, Jennifer, who was fantastic in introducing us to everything and making us feel comfortable. During our stay, Russell helped us with all our needs.
While waiting to check into our room, we enjoyed a relaxation room equipped with air conditioning, couches, mini beds, and showers. As soon as we arrived on the island by boat, we were treated like royalty with scented lavender cooling towels. We were greeted warmly as we boarded the deck and given a heartfelt goodbye when we left.
The breakfast was outstanding, featuring a wide variety of options. The beaches and water were pristine. My favorite part of the trip was the amazing staff—they were friendly, kind, and went out of their way to make us feel special. Everything was arranged seamlessly, from our boat trip to the island to our return to Malé. I can’t wait to go back!
I decided to choose this island for my honeymoon because I thought it was cost-effective.
Overall, the island is not that big, but we haven’t completely explored it yet.
Went there for 3 nights and had 9 meals at the same restaurant because we purchased the FB plan
Although the 9-meal buffet is a bit tiring at the end, it’s still okay to reduce expenses.
There are many places where you can refill water. It is important not to spend money to buy water.
The environment is quiet, with enough privacy. It's easy to call a shuttle. We stayed in the water house in the north.
There are so many fish in the water at night~!!! It’s very beautiful, and I even met a turtle once, I was so happy
Seize the opportunity and join a free snorkeling trip~~~ Yeah
The staff is very kind and friendly. I look forward to going there again.
Great

LLAN HONG CHENIt was an absolute pleasure having Ms. Mariyam assist us during our stay at the island resort! From the moment we arrived, she was incredibly prompt and proactive in ensuring all our needs were met. Any request we had was addressed swiftly and efficiently, making our experience seamless and stress-free. Her attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile truly made our vacation exceptional. We felt so well taken care of thanks to her dedication. A genuine 5-star service!

GGuest UserThe water house we stayed in had a swimming pool. The room was big and there was a beautiful sea view on the balcony. From the moment we left the airport, the guy who picked us up, the guy on the speedboat, and the guy who sent us off really provided excellent service. When we arrived at the hotel pier, the management staff led the service staff to warmly welcome us on the island. When we left, they waved goodbye at the pier until they disappeared into the vast ocean... My English is not good, but I met Bonan, a girl from Baoji, China, on the island. She enthusiastically and proactively provided us with high-quality service, introduced us to information about the island, took our orders, booked boats, and delivered things to our room over and over again on hot days. When the room cleaner didn't clean for us, change towels, take out the trash, or deliver mineral water, she personally went to the room to serve us... I don't know why the room cleaner didn't serve us. I turned over the sign for room cleaning twice, but found it was turned back when I returned to the room. The room was still not cleaned. I don't know if I didn't tip the night I came. I didn't have change that day, so I went to the front desk to change change after dinner. However, there was no room service from the second to the third night. It was not until I told Bonan that the bathroom trash can was full and the mineral water was finished that Bonan came to the bathroom to watch over it, and then they started cleaning. I chose this hotel because they have a high score of 4.9. To be honest, all the services and details of the hotel are very good, but the behavior of the room boy really makes me feel that he is holding the hotel back and letting the chain down. I hope the hotel will strengthen its management so that all tourists who come to the beautiful Baros Island can return happily...
GGuest UserThe service and the beach club is exceptional. I really enjoy my stay at the resort. All inclusive package is really good and worth it. The drinks at Breeze is yummy and their attendees are very friendly and helpful. Our reef villa has beautiful reef below us and snorkelling is really fun to do. The SPA is also very good. I really like this resort and will be back in the future.
Special shout out to Suchan in the Breeze that always offer us the most delicious drinks in the beach club.
GGred AngEverything is good!!!
But I think there should have a buggy service to send guests to the water bungalow which ours was really very far.
We got the all inclusive and is really well included which covered my 3 meals and all time drinks!
Nicely set up bday deco with request (just pay of coz).
If you are not using their paid services (kayak, parasailing, water ski, massage, etc), u don’t need to waste a single cent.
Food is good!
4 types; Arabic, Thai, Italian and International.
If you got all inclusive you can book any of the restaurant for your meals but 1 day advance. If u didn’t book/did not get all inclusive, you can only dine at ocean restaurant which is the international buffet.
As we got all inclusive, we have free flow of drinks (cocktails, mocktails, soft drinks, hot coffee/tea, spirits and wines). We drank until we had cleared what’s on the menu, we requested the bartender to recommend us or give us what they could offer (foc) and they really gave it to us!
Nice experience!
DdudutekThe rooms are average, the food and beverages are not rich but the products are excellent.
The snorkeling environment is very good, you can see sharks and turtles.
The service is pretty good, the room and yard are cleaned very well.
The island is very small and only takes 10 minutes to walk around. You can participate in the hotel's snorkeling, fishing, and dolphin watching at reasonable prices.
There is a gym but no swimming pool.

GGuest UserThe most beautiful holidays I've had so far. That's how I imagine paradise. Arrival Arriving at Male airport for the first time is an experience, the airport is on an island itself and after leaving the airport all you see is clear blue water. Instead of taxis there are speedboats picking up tourists. Kagi island is about 1h by speedboat away (which is practically the better choice for Kagi, since the distance is small and water planes mean much more logistical effort. If you never flew with a water plane and want to experience it, do it on the way back). When we arrived on the island, we were welcomed by very friendly staff and bongo music which was super nice. Maria made us feel like home from the first minute and showed us everything important before leaving us to explore our own place. Room We booked a pool villa in the sea which was beyond beautiful. The room is big and offers everything you need. Shampoo / conditioner is refilled every day, there is cream and after sun gel, you basically only need sun cream (also available on the island in a shop). The room has its own pool over the ocean and even though I didn't think I would use it, I ended up being in there every evening enjoying the sunset. Same applies for the bathtub, which was in the outside part of the bathroom, I spent some very relaxing evenings in there even when the weather was warm. The only thing to consider, the waves can be loud and crush into the outside of your pool, especially during the night this can be irritating if you have a light sleep. I usually use earplugs, so I didn't bother, but my partner struggled quite a lot. There are other villas with wave breakers in front, can't say if this makes a big difference but I guess so. The downside is the view is not the same with the breakers and for snorkeling it’s harder to get to the nice part of the reef. I would still go for the villas without breakers. Location The island is small but still offers everything you need. The reef is extremely beautiful, just jump in the water with goggles and you see all kinds of fishes, even some small sharks sometimes. As a diver I can say, the reef was more interesting to explore than many dives I had in my life. The Spa is great and offers various treatments. There is also a modern gym and you can participate in the Yoga lessons every other day. I enjoyed the lessons a lot, even as a total beginner. I already miss them, might start doing Yoga myself now. :) There is also a small diving center. The dive guide was basically always available to us, very flexible and cool. We went for 11 dives in total and we were not disappointed. All of them were special and interesting. We didn't have to worry about anything, the boat brought us directly to the spots and picked us up after each dive, the crew was very professional and experienced. Maldives are great for diving, don’t miss the chance! Restaurants Main restaurant and a la carte restaurant. We only booked B&B and wen
