Feridhoo Holidays from £1,013

We went for our honeymoon here and we had an amazing unforgettable experience!! The whole staff especially Hammadh, Hilal and the Air restaurant team, and Shariful at the Stars restaurant are some of the most amazing people we have met and took care of us throughout our stay to make it feel like a home away from home. The facilities and dining are world class and the spa was stunning!! We would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks Coco Budhi Hilti for a perfect honeymoon.

Beautiful island. The staff and service is fantastic.

Just returned from a fabulous trip to Oaga Art Resort. We've been to a few 5-star resorts in the Maldives. This place is very special. We loved the incredible staff and sense of community they bring to your stay. From the moment you arrive, you feel welcomed and a part of island life. What I thought would be hokey - a Maldivian welcome dance on arrival, etc. turned out to be a very authentic experience. I would turn right around and go back tomorrow! Our "butler" or “Malemi” (Navigator), Schif was wonderful. She guided our stay in the most thoughtful and unobtrusive way. Her good humor was infectious, and she had an uncanny ability to turn up right when we needed her. The Maldives are beautiful. Who doesn't love a vacation on a beach - no shoes needed. The warm colored Maldivian blue water was pure joy. Our Haruge Beach Villa (with a private plunge pool) was just steps from the sea. We were able to snorkel and PADI dive. The nature and sea life did not disappoint. The sunset cruise was also a highlight. We were treated to Maldivian song and dances and soon the whole boat was dancing and singing along with our spectacular hosts. The Hoba Spa was also a treat. They had such a nice welcome ritual. We had couples deep tissue massages in a beautiful setting. Pasang, a Buddhist yoga teacher from Bhutan provided my treatment. She did a brilliant job for the full 90 minutes. She also ran the almost daily Hendhunu Ritual at the Hoba Deck which was a wonderful.

I’ve traveled to several different countries as a solo traveler, and I had higher expectations for Maldives. The service was decent. Some of the excursions were a little overpriced. There was a dirty mop smell near entrance where the mini bar was located. I thought housekeeping would have done something about the smell considering it was very strong. The chef at Tex Mex during the morning shift makes great food according to the menu. When I went back in the evening on my last day to purchase the same meal, the Nachos were completely different from what I had in the morning and it was difficult for me to finish the food (didn’t want to waste it). I did inform two staff members at the restaurant and the waiter asked if I wanted another one and I told her it would still come out the same because of the chef who’s cooking the meal. So all in all I paid for a meal I didn’t enjoy. This was the case for the items in the mini freezer, when I arrived I was told that the drinks in the freezer were complementary. When I went to grab a drink that turned out to be alcohol, I took a sip and it wasn’t good so I disposed the rest of the drink and I told the housekeeper this and I was still charged. In that same freezer I found something that appeared to look like mold on two of the alcohol bottles, and that could have contributed to the dirty mop smell I smelled around that area. I wasn’t aware that I was suppose to get VIP amenities during my stay, it sure didn’t feel like a VIP stay.

This was by far the best experience and resort that I’ve visited, for sure I’ll be back, amazing staff beautiful resort

Baros is a dream destination, located in between a lagoon and a beautiful reef. By the way, the house reef is incredible and you can spot many species, including sharks, turtles, rays and hundreds of species of fish. The staff is super friendly and the breakfast is one of the best I’ve ever had. I would definitely recommend it and I want to go back.
