My now husband and I visited Baglioni for our honeymoon early October and had a great trip! We came all the way from the US so it was a long day of travel! From the moment we arrived in Male, we were whisked away to the Baglioni seaplane lounge which was beautiful and had lots of snacks and beverages. We then embarked on our 45 min seaplane flight and landed at beautiful Baglioni! We were greeted by staff and the most beautiful blue water. Rameez, our butler was there and greeted us with handmade palm leaf necklaces. We then had a super quick check in and were off on a tour or the property on a golf cart. Everything is walkable at Baglioni which we loved. We then were taken to our over water bungalow, 220, which was beautiful! The villa is modern but comfortable. We loved that we could snorkel 10 feet off our ladder and see the most incredible fish! The snorkeling is the best!! All the restaurants were delicious but Umami was our favorite! We enjoyed the pool, it’s large and was never crowded. The pool bar staff is great as well! A special shout-out to Praful who kept us entertained on one of our rainy days and made our last night special. We enjoyed some activities such as the cooking classes which were great! The night time entertainment with Zaki was some of our favorite! Zaki is incredibly talented and made our stay extra fun! The spa was good but could use some improvements. There aren’t a lot of amenities but the massage was great. Rameez was the star of our trip though. Checking in on us, making reservations and helping with anything we needed. We had an amazing trip and would recommend Baglioni to anyone!!

The whole trip was not very satisfying. First, the seaplane time I requested is at noon on the 22nd, so that I can have a half-day tour of Male. As a result, I was arranged for an early morning seaplane. The hotel said that because the time of the seaplane is not under their control, and the time of the next day's seaplane will only be known after 6pm before 1 day .Second, I don’t know whether the lock of my luggage was broken by the seaplane staff or the resort staff. Anyway, the lock on my luggage was completely missing between the seaplane and check in the resort. Third. neither the birthday room decorations nor the cake that was promised to me was delivered. I was sick that day, so I didn't remind or ask, but I think the hotel completely forgot, which is a big mistake. Fourth, I told that I am sick and uncomfortable, can I ask for some hot soup for breakfast? The front desk said that there is no way, you only can eat whatever the kitchen prepares, which I can understand, But the front desk didn't even have a word of concern and greeting! I feel so indifferent! I was very happy to choose you as my first vacation after the covid ,but now I feel that this is a complete mistake.

1 Generally speaking, it is still very good. The facilities and environment of the hotel, especially when I lost my passport in the previous room when I changed my passport, ashifu is also actively helping to find it, thank you again. 2 I added 160 US dollars a night with Ashifu. I made it clear that I needed a villa with swimming pool. When I checked in, I found that it was not the swimming pool but jacuzzi, so I felt a bit cheated. 3. The hotel needs to further manage the guest's bills. At checkout, it was found that two bills were not my bills. It took me a long time to find out that the hotel felt that it was because I changed the room that I made a mistake. Put someone's signature in my name. In addition, there is only one total amount of each order at the checkout. Can you transfer the list that you have signed to the front desk like other hotels. To be honest, I do n’t know if the amount of each meal is increased, mainly because it adds two more to make everyone doubt. 4, communication is also very strenuous when booking, especially booking Shui Fei. 5 In addition, there are swimming pools in Ctrip beach huts, but some do not have them. At that time, I also reacted to the hotel. I do n’t live there. So in the end, the hotel manager asked me, and I can only give good, not perfect, because there are quite a lot of service improvement points. Because the price is nowhere to be placed, the service does not match.

The island is a little small, the environment is ok, the service needs to be improved, and the bad thing is that the water in the room is the lowest price mineral water in the ordinary bottle. We also pay for the water of the voss. If you look down the date, it is a month. It’s expired, and many things in the hotel are expiring soon. This shouldn’t be the international brand hotel. Another Fairmont room has all the water voss available for free...

The resort is new and beautiful located on its own private Island. It is unfortunate that you need to fly into Male, take a second flight and then a boat to the resort. You can only book the flight and boat through the resort and not directly from the airline so there is a premium price to pay. The ”lounge” at Male airport is the public area of the food court where you can select one option from a limited menu most of which you are told they do not have any of. The resort itself is very beautiful offering a 24hr bar and snack service as well as a buffet restaurant and two additional restaurants (Italian and Steakhouse) for which you need to make a reservation. During our 8 nights, we tried daily to make a reservation at the steak restaurant which does not have fixed opening days and depends on guest occupancy so sadly we were not able to enjoy this experience as many other guests who also experienced the same. We were able to make a reservation at the Italian restaurant once during our stay which meant we had no choice but to eat at the buffet restaurant where the dishes did not change much on a daily basis for the duration, it got old by the end of our trip and we couldn't wait to get to the mainland for some other types of food. The staff is all very nice and friendly and there are daily activities organized by them or many areas of beach for peace and quiet as well as a swimming pool with a swim-up bar and plenty of loungers. Overall it was a good experience it's just a shame there is not more choices or chances to try the other restaurants and food.

The location was good because it was close to the domestic airport. The service is generally just that. I think it's natural to induce sales, but the basic service is not good. I stayed in two rooms, but the basic snack bar composition is different and cannot be refilled every day. I stayed for 4 nights in all-inclusive, but the drinks are limited. I asked for an umbrella, but I called four phone calls and waited for about an hour, and I was reluctant to approach the driver of the buggy (cart) passing by. The food was divided by villa and the restaurant was medium. The island itself and facilities are beautifully decorated, but the facilities themselves are aging. There were many places to take pictures. To put it in general, if you are as tempered as me, it will be shining. Recommended if you have peace and leisure.
