Hotels with Hot tubs in Baa Atoll

The resort is well kept and is great quality given the costs. It’s not of course the luxurious resort you can find (at a much higher cost) in some other atolls, but the rooms are nice and cozy, they get cleaned TWICE per day and the staff is friendly and very helpful. Every room has its little private beach area where you can sunbathe, read or enjoy the shade of palm trees. The biggest surprise was the FOOD. We had an all inclusive deal and we (a group of spoiled Italians) were expecting less than average food (especially given the price was really good for the all inclusive - booked a few months in advance though). Instead, we found that breakfast, lunch and dinners were one better than the other each day. Everyday the buffet menu would change, including local specialties, Indian specialties, Asian specialties (even fresh sushi on a couple of occasions!), always some Italian options (good for young kids especially as there were “safe bets” like pasta, rice and all). The breakfast was great, you could choose fruit and sweets or savoury (with eggs done your way on the spot). Lunch had always vegetarian options, meat and fish (sometimes grilled on the spot), with a great selection of desserts - same goes for dinner. We were really impressed by the amount of choice, the quality of the food and the service was amazing (each table had its own dedicated assistant).

I like everything! The island and beach was amazing with a nice coral reef where we saw mantas, a turtle and many nice fishes. The room was super clean, big and comfortable with a nice open bathroom. Facilities like pool and main bar were very nice. The karaoke night was funny and dive center had two nice excursions that we did...one for snorkeling with turtles and one for snorkeling at reethi Island where we saw sharks and turtles too. Possibly I could like more options for group activities for snorkeling. The beach was very clean ad well as all the island. Breakfast and dinner were excellent with many types of food every day. Staff was very efficient and nice. I loved the surprise for my birthday...it was really unexpected! We really relaxed and we will miss reethi beach resort!!!

It has been a week since we've come back from paradise on Earth. The beauty of the Maldives cannot be described, but the amazing experience of staying at Dusit Thani Maldives, which was simply perfect, can. To be perfectly honest, almost everything exceeded my (very high) expectation. The resort is a beautiful jungle/garden and cycling through it is a pleasure for all the senses (especially in the evenings, when you can smell frangipani). We have stayed in one of the ocean villas. The views were simply stunning. The villa was very spacious and cosy, and even though the furniture is not brand new, it is full of drama. Plus, they have the most comfortable pillows my head had ever touched. The big highight-and what convinced us to stay in the resort-is the Thai restaurant Benjarong with it amazing chef and staff-we were usually attended by Novika (foodie as myself, so she could provide great recommendation) and James, who was also super nice and attentive. After having dinner at Benjarong the first night, we booked all of our meals there (with the exception for the night of Eid celebration, when we dined on the beach with live local music and dancing-thanks Sharif. I especial recommend the soft shell crab with curry - powder, the lamb chops, and my favourite dish in the universe-the Thai green curry. My husband fell in love with the dessert with water chestnuts and ended up eating it twice a day 🙂 (and of course I ended up taking the Thai cooking class). Another highlight for the foodies was breakfast. while the choices of "western" food, pastries is impressive, my very favourite (and I had it every single day) was the noodles station. Also, make sure you try the passion fruit jam which is to die for. You can always ask Mona (yet another, cheerful foodie) for recommendations. Moving from the food... Above the Thai 'restaurant is the Sata bar. My husband took the cocktail making class there and we met a very gifted bar attender Amita.

Everything is perfect 👍👍👍

Friendly stuff, professional service, delicious food, amazing villa - everything clean and looking better than in the pictures (lagoon villa on the water). The resort is very environmentally friendly - haven’t noticed a piece of plastic and the turtle rescue center is a beautiful initiative!
