Madivaru Hotels from S$295

"This was our first time in the Maldives and it exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely amazing. We paid extra to have a pool at our bungalow but the resort does have its own pool where we found ourselves most times so I would say it’s definitely not needed to have your own pool but it is nice to have one. We had baby black tip reef sharks, puffer fish, eagle rays, and so much more right under our bungalow and we could snorkel everyday off our bungalow and see such amazing things. The staff was incredible very friendly. They had golf carts available all hours to pick us up from our bungalow and bring us to food, dinner, anywhere we needed. We don’t have kids but I loved to see how much they had to offer for kids as well. We will definitely be coming back"

"We love our stay at Varu. All the staff are extremely friendly. They started remembering our drink preferences after a day or two and are very attentive. Our room is always clean with great view. The water villa are on higher walkways so they do not recommend for younger kids but they were able to set up an extra sleep space for our son. We also appreciate the comprehensiveness of their all inclusive plan, including all food, drinks, alcohol, spa, excursion and water activties. We did not have to spend a lot extra to have a great experience."

"Highly recommend visiting, resort is very well maintained and organized with all inclusive including alcoholic beverages"

"We had a fantastic few days at Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru - great accommodation, great food, great service, and great weather!"

"Everyone was amazing and the Resoet was Beautiful!!!"

"An incredible resort. The cocktails and food are excellent, with the Lighthouse restaurant bordering on Michelin star quality. The variation of food and drink options across the 3 restaurants and 2 bars is vast. A special mention is required on the service, which is second to none. From our private butler Saeed to the numerous staff across housekeeping, the restaurants and bars, the quality and attention to detail is unlike anything I have experienced before. Throughout our 7 nights at Baros there were no flaws - I cannot recommend this resort enough. We have been fortunate to stay in many high-end hotels before and Baros tops them all."

"Just about everything was perfect during our stay. The hotel room was immaculate, the greeting when we arrived was outstanding. All of the staff were happy and helpful. Highly recommend to anyone, you won’t be disappointed "

"Very nice island and the best service."

"A great vacation for relatively little money. The hotel is located on a natural island, so the reefs and corals were excellent. The staff is very polite and helpful. Overall, everything was great."
