North Male Atoll hotel rooms a the Universal Resorts

"Probably the nicest hotel i’ve ever stayed at and i’ve been nice places!!. It is private, the views are unreal (though it’s closest to main island so you can see it from a very very far distance from one side). the water is CLEAR and the villas are amazing. the staff couldn’t be nicer and more accommodating. the restaurants are unbelievable (especially masala the indian one). the speedboat from the airport was super fast. Everything is spotless and pristine. Felt so luxurious and relaxing . I would stay here again in a heartbeat. "

"The rooms were extremely spacious and impeccably maintained, and we absolutely loved the infinity pool. We stayed in an overwater room, which was a truly special experience. Airport pickup and drop-off were seamless and very well organized. The property is stunning, with unbelievably blue water all around. The food was exceptional at every restaurant, and the chefs were especially accommodating of our needs as we were traveling with a toddler. The staff were consistently warm and friendly—always smiling whenever you crossed paths with them. A special shout-out to Naaish at the Midi Club for making our stay even more memorable. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning a visit."

"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."

"Clean room, generous, warm, attentive and friendly staff Great quality and range of food, and clean restaurant Exceptional Christmas Eve dinner and party Excellent spa & therapies Wide range of water sports / excursions / activities "

"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. "

"Kurumba was everything I imagined and so much more. The staff were incredibly courteous, the room was spotless, and the open bathroom was hands down my favorite part of the bungalow we stayed in. Huge shout-out to the water sports team, and to all the wonderful people we met along the way. Truly an unforgettable experience."
