This is a truly beautiful island and we stayed in one of the over water bungalows which were on the smaller side but clean and comfortable. The water is amazing and the food on the island (we were half board) was very good.
The spa is great and prices not too high.

Great Resort, unbeatable location and wonderful staff. We had the best time of our life over the 8 days spent in the hotel just last week. Could not ask for more. Staff is so friendly, amenities are amazing and management makes you wish all hotels were this well managed. Although quite a distance from the Pacific Northwest, we may consider visiting the Maldives again and staying at Baros.
