From the moment we landed in Malé to the time we left the island, the hospitality and friendliness of the staff was very welcoming. Our Hostess made sure that every little detail had been taken care. The sunset villa was ideal for our stay. The 4 visits to Elena Spa during our stay was ideal after having been couped up inside a metal tube for over 14 hours.

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.

It was really cool to be able to watch the stingrays pass-by from your room and to be able to go snorkeling right from your room.
The candle-light dinner by the beach was an amazing experience.
We started by doing the "All Inclusive" plan the first day but quickly realized that the regular meal option worked way better for us.

This hotel is located just 15-20 mins by boat from the airport. The island is small enough to be intimate but large enough to go for a long good walk. And if you don't feel like walking they have golf carts to shuttle you around! I like that we had a many dinning options, but I will say I was a bit disappointed with both fine dining restaurants. The service is great, but the food in terms of taste is not in line with what you pay. I do think both Baan Thai and Sea salt could be a bit better. ...

This was my 3rd trip to Maldives and this was my best experience yet. I loved the fact that the resort was adult only. That was great especially since I am in education. Made the extended weekend seem like a real holiday. The supreme sunset villa was an excellent choice. The only issue is the sun set happened on the opposite side of the villa, so we could not see it. Not the resort’s fault, nature. There are so many restaurants, bars, Al a carte items to enjoy your stay. The staff was amazingly...

First, this hotel is the best kept secret. Somerset ranks number one in my book. It is the only hotel I would stay in when in Male. The hotel's rating is four stars but overall it's a five star. Not in the best of locations (small street) but it's located next to everything you need. I was treated like valuable customer by all the staff including the great restaurant next door. The food was excellent, people friendly and they truly find pleasure in giving their guest amazing service.

Amazing resort with exceptional staff. We were met at the airport and it took us less than 5 minute to be on the speed boat. We then were met with Karen .... An angel from the sky which makes everything feel as if we are the only customers in the hotel... Ismail in the room service and another Ismail at the restaurant were also amazing.
Very nice rooms, you will have your private beach and in room open air jacuzzi. (We were at a beachfront villa with jacuzzi).

Nice stay prior to our morning flight. Airport transfer was via taxi and was included in the rate. The room was clean and well appointed. Breakfast was fabulous, better than the fancy resort we had just come from. Thomas, the owner of the hotel, was personable and friendly and we enjoyed our conversations. Would definitely stay again.
