Ukulhas Holidays

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.

The property was clean, the staff were friendly. They said they do not arrange airport transfers for Expedia guests. Luckily, for us another guest was in need of a transfer while we were at the airport and we were able to ride in the van with him. He was from Shanghai, but worked for Four Seasons and was extremely helpful. The rooms are small, no pool or other amenities. Nice place to spend your first night after a lengthy travel and prepare to stay in a resort. The staff help you arrange transportation when you're leaving out.

Very pleasant and refreshing experience in the Maldives. Small island but easy to access to all the facilities it provides.

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.
