"Everything 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!"

"I decided to travel during the National Day holiday and chose this hotel. The hotel provides speedboat transfers, which makes it easy to choose flights. The island is well-equipped, and the gym, water entertainment, dining, and water houses are all beyond my expectations. I recommend this hotel."

"The resort and room is beautiful. We saw black tip sharks, turtles, eagle rays and lots of fishes from our room! This resort offers a great snorkeling area. However, our room (57) was infested with cockroaches. We saw 5 during our stay. Although rooms are clean and spotless, quite disappointed there are lots of roaches. If you’re looking for a private island feel, this is for you. We barely saw much guests around the resort and everyone was quite spread out. Also they have lots of activities to do on the island, which is great for adults and children alike. Just note that babysitting service is for 3 yo and up. Food is honestly disappointing. We didn’t mind paying but not when food is subpar. We ordered in room dining which came from breeze kitchen and had buffet at edge. Both disappointing. Genuinely hope the resort can improve of these."

"This hotel is on a small island near the city of Male. The map of this island shows Villingili, which is called Vilingmale by locals. It is the same place. The hotel is very clean and the front desk lady is very considerate. After leaving the airport, take a taxi for 6 US dollars to the pier of this island, and then buy a boat ticket for less than 1 US dollar. It takes 10-15 minutes to get to the island. After leaving the pier, walk 2 minutes to the hotel. It seems that you can also take a ferry from the airport to Male, and then take a ferry from Male to this island. But I haven't done this, I took a taxi. This island is very quiet, there are no cars parked on the roadside, but no one is driving. The movement on the island is basically electric vehicles, bicycles, and walking. There are all kinds of facilities on the island, and young people basically work in the city of Male. It is very suitable to find a quiet place and observe the life of people."

"I visited Maldives for the second time and took a short trip to Velassaru with my 3-year-old baby. I had another wonderful time. Hygiene: I stayed in a sand house for 2 nights. Every day, the staff would take the initiative to ask if it was cleaned. The guy cleaned very carefully. I like his work attitude. Facilities: Because of the rainy season, the wind and waves were very strong. I originally planned to experience the Japanese restaurant Teppanyaki, haha, but it was closed on Sunday night. I didn’t make an appointment at other restaurants and couldn’t eat. I could only have a buffet dinner in the main restaurant. I want to praise Velassaru’s buffet. I personally feel it is still very good. It is more suitable for my taste than the previous one in Xiya Family. Haha, I didn’t get to eat the ice cream twice a day around the island. At that time, the children were either sleeping or digging in the sand, and they didn’t give me a chance to eat at all. Environment: The lagoon is super beautiful. It rained a little before going to the island and I was worried that the whole journey would be rainy. Fortunately, it was sunny the next day, and the photos were also very good, haha. Service: The staff on the island are very enthusiastic. They will say hello and tease the children when they meet."

"If you're seeking late-night parties and DJs, this might not be the resort for you. Now, let's dive into the details. The resort is conveniently located just a 20-25 minute speedboat ride from Male airport. The atmosphere is very relaxed, and the island is small enough to walk around in 15-20 minutes. We stayed in a beach villa with a private pool and half-board. The pool was shaded by palm trees during the hottest parts of the day, and the beach was simply perfect. The online photos might appear a bit dated, but the reality is much better. Our dedicated butler, Reema, was incredibly kind and attentive, making our babymoon special with hot baths, flower arrangements, and private celebrations. She took excellent care of us throughout our stay. The resort features three restaurants and a charming bar. The food at Lime, the main restaurant, was exceptional—everything we tried was delicious. Although the breakfast buffet wasn't extensive, it was complemented by an à la carte menu that offered a variety of tasty options. Lala made our dinners extra special with his food recommendations and attentiveness to our preferences. Overall, our entire trip was a success, and the Baros team truly made it memorable. Things to know: - Transfers are chargeable by the hotel. Ensure you inform them of your arrival flight 2 days in advance and get confirmation on your transfer. - The hotel is very relaxed and private, making it ideal for newlyweds, honeymooners, and families with older children. - The resort offers daily activities, including excursions, snorkeling trips, cruises, yoga, and more. Some activities are chargeable, while others are free, and all necessary gear is available at the Marine Center at no cost. We would visit again."

"Beautiful coral reef! Sea Villa .. Every morning sunrise and dusk make us unforgettable! Breakfast is rich: butler service and guidance in all aspects give full marks"

"Located in the urban area of Male, the environment is very good, the boss is very good, especially passionate to the Chinese, the breakfast is more in line with the taste of the Chinese, it is difficult to find outside, so lunch and dinner are also eaten here. The view from the top of the building is wide and the scenery is beautiful. You can check it out."

"The staff provided great service. The space capsule was consistent with the photo. It was my first time staying in such a high-end youth hostel."
