My recent stay with you from September 7 - 11 was nothing short of extraordinary. While the five-star rating is a given, I wanted to write a more personal review to highlight exactly what made our time so memorable.
Lily at the Front Desk: Her warm welcome set the tone for our entire vacation.
The Housekeeping Team: They are absolute artists of their craft. Our room was not just cleaned, but thoughtfully tidied and restocked twice daily.
You have created something truly special. The resort provides the perfect stage, but your staff are the stars of the show. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. We left not just relaxed and rejuvenated, but genuinely happy.
Need to book early for boat airport transfer before reach Male airport. They will arrange someone to meet u at the arrival area in the airport. Later after reached maafushi, there’s a buggy to pick u up & go to the hotel. Breakfast just normal don’t expect too much. Towel can be request to change daily especially beach towel which is very good.
We had an unforgettable stay at Grand Park Kodhipparu, and everything about our experience exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the personalized service stood out! The team was incredibly responsive and quick to reply to our messages throughout our stay. The welcome and in-villa check-in were detailed and thoughtful, with a staff patiently answering all our questions and making us feel completely at ease.
We stayed in the Reef Water Villa and absolutely loved it. Snorkeling every day was a highlight, as the marine life was rich and vibrant. We were lucky enough to see sea turtles from our balcony two mornings in a row. The shark tour was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and something we will never forget.
The biggest highlight for us was the candlelight dinner under the stars. The meal was delicately prepared, and having a personal host and chef on a private beach for the evening made it incredibly special and romantic. Everything felt perfectly arranged just for us.
We highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for exceptional service, breathtaking surroundings, and unforgettable experiences. We can’t wait to return!
This is a small private island, quiet environment have a long/big beautiful beach, good for walk around and relaxing. room design is comfortable and the staffs are friendly always smiling and greeting every moment. Jetty is a spot to observe the various fish swimming around, in a sunny day can see the fish swimming in the crystal clean water just in front of the beach!…but the wave is not calm always should got swimming skills then you can enjoy the snorkelling in this island.
To experience taking photos with whale sharks, we specifically stayed two days on a local island. We booked with this company and Arena. There were four of us in total. Arena didn't have any triple rooms left, so we could only book two rooms, which were quite basic. The Icom company was okay, but the breakfast was limited. Don't book their activities; the photos won't turn out well.
A hotel with high European standards of service and a pleasant staff. It's located right next to the pier where sharks and rays swim up in the evenings. Since I didn't feel like eating much in the morning, the staff packed me a breakfast in a lunchbox. It's a shame I only stayed there for one day.
The hotel exceeded all expectations. It's an incredibly beautiful, lush, and authentic island, without feeling overly polished or brand new. It felt like being on a deserted island, yet everything was clean, and details like lighting were perfectly highlighted. The nature felt untouched.
The ocean was stunningly beautiful. The turquoise water stretched for dozens of meters from the shore (but remember to bring water shoes!).
The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. You didn't even have to ask for anything; they proactively offered everything. Towels were changed twice a day, and they constantly checked if we needed anything like water or coffee. The service was so good that you often don't find this level of attentiveness even in much higher-category hotels.
Breakfasts were fantastic, with everything you could need: pastries, hash browns, made-to-order omelets, eggs, waffles, and pancakes. There was always a wide selection of fruits – watermelon, papaya, two types of melon, pineapple, passion fruit, bananas, and oranges. Breakfast was truly complete.
Dinners were a little less impressive, but that's just my personal preference; I'm not a big fan of everything being in sauces. However, I could always find something to eat.
It was my friend's birthday, and at dinner, we were given a specially decorated table, the entire staff congratulated him, and there was a cake with candles. While we were enjoying dinner, our room was decorated with birthday greetings. I was impressed by how well thought out and coordinated their actions were.
We also received a free upgrade to a water villa. We spent 4 days in a beach bungalow, room 301, and then 3 days in a water villa, room 506. There's a separate restaurant for the villas, which we were also able to visit and did. That was a very pleasant bonus. Thank you. Our vacation was unforgettable, and we will definitely return.
This is simply an incredible hotel for the price.
This was a cool experience, always wanted to try water villa.
The island looks great, it’s connected with two others and brings you more wonderful views. There are lots of water villas there and that’s why it looks even better.
Villa is big enough for two persons, got two bathes, one of them outside, it looks beautiful at sunrise.
There was a low tide at night and a little island appeared nearby, we took a lil walk there. Then water came up again and we saw little sharks and even stingrays around.
Transfer was kinda expensive, 250$ one way with 50% discount and also we expected a golf car to take us to reception on checkout, but in vain. (I had a huge sunburn before)
We went to another resort, but regretted about it. For now it was a best stay on Maldives for us.
Oh! There’s a YouTube on TV in villa, it was really important for us.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Villa Nautica—without a doubt one of the best places we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully designed the entire property was. Every corner of the villa felt welcoming, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing getaway.
A very special thanks goes to our wonderful host, Glory. She truly made our stay unforgettable. She took care of everything with so much attention and warmth, always checking in to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her bubbly personality, genuine kindness, and loving nature added such a personal touch to our experience.
Villa Nautica exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a memorable and refreshing stay!
The room wasn't large, but it could comfortably accommodate two adults and one child. Cleanliness was acceptable. Breakfast wasn't extensive, but thankfully, fruit and staple foods were available. Lunch and dinner were sometimes buffets and sometimes à la carte sets; the taste was decent, and prices were generally around $10. However, the food options were somewhat limited, so it's advisable to bring your own instant noodles and snacks. Local supermarkets sell instant noodles for around $1-$3 a cup, and Coke for $2 a can. The hotel is very close to the beach, and the water was quite clear, although it was a bit rough on the feet when swimming. There were many patches of black seaweed in the water. There were many mosquitoes and flies on the island, both at the hotel and on the beach, so be sure to bring mosquito repellent and sunscreen. The local islanders were generally very kind and friendly, and the hotel staff were also very welcoming and provided excellent service. Overall, I was satisfied.

SSaymore MasaisaiArena Beach was a delight and lovely venue and most of the staff were lovely. The tour/excursion team were very friendly and their excursions were great, affordable and memorable.
I only had a problem with one guy who racially profiled me when I was eating and confronted me if I had paid for the food and asked for my room number. That was disgusting and the hotel should train its staff of racism and micro aggressions. That spoiled my entire holiday.
However, one person’s opinion doesn’t make the entire hotel bad. I will stay at Arena again.
PPestova NataliaLocation is very close to Male and free transfer is a nice touch.
Good Balinese style villa with new facilities, great bathroom with outdoor shower and bath.
Nice breakfast and dinner buffet, not many options, but they have everything you need. Many drinks included.
A lot of greenery and trees on the island, many lizards, herons, bats. That’s great. And a lot of shade, great for walking.
Small coral reefs very close to the beach, so anyone not good at snorkelling can see the fish.
The hotel is very close to Male, a bit too close actually. It’s very popular among locals and Indians, so it’s kind of crowded. The hotel only have 2 beaches (not big actually) and if there are kids at the resort, the beach will be really noisy.
You will not have complete Maldivian sense while staying at this resort. It’s good, the sea is still beautiful, but there might be some trash in the water. You will hear every single airplane and seaplane coming to Male. It’s not quite what you expect from Maldives.
Water sports are very poor - not much options, not many snorkelling tours. Many facilities were broken or not available during our stay.
Bicycles are very expensive! Normally the bikes like that ( not the best quality actually) shall be complimentary for all guests.
Reception staff is not very talkative. They are kind of invisible. Although welcome staff was very nice and friendly.
Anyway, it’s great resort for 1-2 nights before or after your stay at some other remote island.
GGuest UserThe water house we stayed in had a swimming pool. The room was big and there was a beautiful sea view on the balcony. From the moment we left the airport, the guy who picked us up, the guy on the speedboat, and the guy who sent us off really provided excellent service. When we arrived at the hotel pier, the management staff led the service staff to warmly welcome us on the island. When we left, they waved goodbye at the pier until they disappeared into the vast ocean... My English is not good, but I met Bonan, a girl from Baoji, China, on the island. She enthusiastically and proactively provided us with high-quality service, introduced us to information about the island, took our orders, booked boats, and delivered things to our room over and over again on hot days. When the room cleaner didn't clean for us, change towels, take out the trash, or deliver mineral water, she personally went to the room to serve us... I don't know why the room cleaner didn't serve us. I turned over the sign for room cleaning twice, but found it was turned back when I returned to the room. The room was still not cleaned. I don't know if I didn't tip the night I came. I didn't have change that day, so I went to the front desk to change change after dinner. However, there was no room service from the second to the third night. It was not until I told Bonan that the bathroom trash can was full and the mineral water was finished that Bonan came to the bathroom to watch over it, and then they started cleaning. I chose this hotel because they have a high score of 4.9. To be honest, all the services and details of the hotel are very good, but the behavior of the room boy really makes me feel that he is holding the hotel back and letting the chain down. I hope the hotel will strengthen its management so that all tourists who come to the beautiful Baros Island can return happily...
GGuest UserAwesome place to visit. The best thing about the stay was the water villa with jacuzzi and instant access to amazing snorkeling. Rajan our house attendant was a particular highlight, he always had a big smile on his face and went above and beyond to make our stay special and really succeeded, if you read this Rajan, thank you very much for your excellent hospitality, you made our stay very enjoyable!
Only feedback I would give is to reduce the number of notifications sent by the app, it was a bit excessive. Also, due to the sky high prices of even simple activities, we opted to gave all of them a pass. A night snorkeling excursion asking for something like USD90 and then also charging USD15 for torch rental feels a little silly. You cannot go night snorkeling without a torch.
Otherwise, we were really happy with the stay.

AAndy pezLovely place and fantastic staff and food. However, on the downside, everything is overpriced, and they do try to up sell everything from food and experiences. We stayed in the water jacuzzi villas at the north of the island and ate in the adult only restaurant, which was fantastic. The food was good and the staff were lovely. Have Ali cook your complete in the morning. He's a real fun guy.
On the excursions. The good and the bad and the total miss advertising of them.
Sunset Punch Cruise is a joke. The punch is fruit punch, no alcohol. The advert gives you a sense of a party theme trip. It's not, and you just get a glass of punch at the beginning of the trip. Overpriced. Saw dolphins and a nice sunset.
Shark Snorkelling disappointing 😞 overpriced and felt like being in an aquarium and not in the wild. Spent an hour on the boat to end up at an abandoned harbour with viewing platforms, and that's where you swim. Hit and miss with sharks.
Traditional Dhoni Sailing Boat. Peaceful and lovely experience. 3 staff manned the boat, and we sat there enjoying the peace and quiet and the sun. We were very lucky and saw Sting Ray, Manta Ray, and turtles in our 1 hour experience. Excellent experience.
Adventure Snorkelling was far the best experience and worth the money, which is dependent on the number of people doing the experience. Our guide was excellent and well versed in the reefs and wildlife around. A great half day adventure.
Overall a get place to visit but expensive and overpriced in its extras.
