North Male Atoll hotel rooms a the Independent

"The hotel was exceptional. The airport is the next island so plane noise was constant, but didn’t really bother us. The beach water is clear but not swimming depth Perfect for kayak because water is so calm. "

"Everything was super smooth, from check-in to checkout. Had a wonderful stay at the resort. The snorkelling safari we did on the final day was breathtaking."

"Spotless rooms, twice per day housekeeping services; very friendly, welcoming staff across all areas. From the airport pickup to drop off - resort arrangements were excellent. Food and beverages options were great as well. Kitchen staff, Chef focused on customer service. We truly enjoyed our stay! "

"Staff all very friendly and helpful. "

"Overall, it was a lovely resort with wonderful staff. We really enjoyed our stay. It's especially wonderful as it's adults only, so quiet & peaceful. Almost everything was fantastic. Great things about the resort: 1) The staff were super nice & helpful 2) The room was great & clean with an amazing view 3) The pools were nice (water could have been a bit warmer) 4) Beach was nice 5) Though way oversalted, the food was really good. If they were to use 1/10 the amount of salt, the food would be perfect. The only somewhat negative things were: 1) I did get a mild case of food poisoning, though the food was great aside from that & being very very very oversalted. 2) I didn't realize the jacuzzi tub on the deck of the overwater bungalow was not an actual hot tub but, rather, a tub you manually fill with water. 3) Though they have notices & signs all over about environmental steps they take, for some reason, every day there were machines running that really polluted the air. So, it was not enjoyable to try to relax at the beach & breathe in fumes. One day a worker was even driving some sort of machine that was putting a horrible thick smoke into the air. 4) One day, workers had a huge plastic pipe -one end in the ocean & the other on the beach in order to reroute sand & restructure the beach resulting in noise &, worst of all, destroying the beautiful clear water we had been enjoying-made the water super cloudy that day. 5) Requiring no shoes in a restaurant & game room awful."

"Perfect"

"The Baros Island is beautiful and has an amazing house reef, with plenty of sharks, turtles, rays and an amazing array of beautiful fish. The resort in parts is a little tired and but the management are on the case. The food and service were first class and made for an delightful two weeks. Our host Shinta was excellent, no request was too much trouble and she was on hand to assist with any issues that arose. A special mention to Keeth in F&B his dedication to service and guest care were excellent. As was Chef Lakshitha in his warm hospitality and wonderful menus/creations. "
