Maldives. Baros Resort.

2014 Dec. Maldives. Baros.

Island-hopped to Baros Island from Coco Bodu Hithi, for second part of our vacation. What a world of difference! I would unreservedly recommend Baros Resort to everyone. Everything in Baros was so wonderful, impeccable service with great attention to details. Every staff here is extremely professional, competent and hospitable, going all the way out to make every guest feels special and well taken care off. The entire island, ocean views, coral reefs, marine life are so beautiful, great for diving and snorkelling.

Maldives. Coco Bodu Hithi Resort.

2014 Dec. Maldives. Coco Bodu Hithi.

Maldives is such a gorgeous holiday destination! I have always dreamt of experiencing an out-of-this-world tropical isle beach resort at least once this lifetime. Heard so much about the crystal clear blue waters with beautiful corals and abundant marine life in Maldives, that I happily booked a cheap SQ ticket to Male before thinking where to stay. Only then I had a rude shock that beach resorts in Maldives are very veRY VERY expensive! Never expected it because so many friends and colleagues talked about how nice their Maldives vacation were. Wow they must all be damn rich, or had decided to heck it and splurge on their honeymoon! Please be advised upfront, the nice water villas where you can just jump right into the sea as seen on TV or magazines would cost you about S$1000/night on average! So the best advice is, bite your lips, book it, and quickly induce dementia on the costs.
