Just read the previous review and I completely disagree with it.||The all inclusive to great. You have set times for brekkie, lunch and dinner. Usually 7-10 for breakfast, 12-5 for lunch and 7pm onward for dinner.||At first we were a little confused, however you have a 2 course meal included in your AI. So to be clear, a starter and main, or main and desert. If you chose anything more, so a 3 course meal you pay for the 3rd course minus 20%.||You can eat once per meal (breakfast, lunch or dinner) in the main restaurants. So you can say eat breakfast in sea salt, then wonder down the beach to breeze for a second breakfast. ||You can however, eat breakfast in sea salt then lunch in breeze etc. the exception is aqua, which you book and pay for.||The rooms are amazing, clean, smells of new wood, views astounding, ac and also a fan, bathrooms super spacious with a bath looking out to see. You are not on top of anyone.||The beach takes us about 20 mins to walk around the island, it’s just superb.||The staff are exceptional! Nothing is too much bother, they are always helpful and make sure you have the best time. We arrived in between meal times, not a problem, chef sorted us some food out! Sushant and suresh sorted out the cocktails. Heavenly!||Overall we couldn’t be more happy! So please do your own research and enjoy, what is, an amazing resort !!!

Well firstly getting to the Maldives whale lagoon was an experience in itself flying emirates business then boat planes to the island which was something that will live with me for the rest of my life. From the moment we got off the sea plane we were met with the staff and given lovely garlands around our necks. We were then transported in a buggy to the hotel reception to check in. We were given fresh towels and drinks to freshen up. Check in was swift which was great as we were tired and plus it was my birthday I had turned 50 on the flight to Male. we were given information as to what we were entitled to during our stay which ended up being wrong information which kind of took the glamour off our arrival. To be told you are entitled to something at 1pm then to be told at 7pm you can’t have it is rather disappointing. The manageress did try to explain and offered us the all inclusive drinks package as a way of goodwill but we were under the impression we had this already. Barceló obviously allow bookings to be made through multiple agencies and some get more than others. They need to make it clearer to each party what they are entitled to upon check in and not mix things up which causes confusion and disappointment in our experience. We were taken to our sunrise water villa which was absolutely beautiful. The house keeping staff and the restaurant staff and the breeze bar staff were absolutely fantastic from becoming friends and treating us like one of the family speaking to us by name and remembering what we liked to order etc. The whole experience in the resort was fantastic apart from the only issue about the all inclusive entitlement thing. But hey ho these things happen. I would like to give Mithum in the breeze bar a big high five he was a gentlemen and very attentive whenever we were in this bar. Along with his colleagues. We moved to a sunset beach villa half way through our holiday which was again out of this world for Accomodation and very quiet as it was away from the sea planes landing and taking off which is at the over water villas. We had a lovely romantic meal on the beach a private dining experience that was brilliant and experience I will never forget. We went in a whale shark excursion that never met our expectations this wasn’t any fault of the hotels and the dive centre boats it was due to the amount of vessels in a small area basically chasing these beautiful creatures with the best part of 400 people in the water trying to get a glimpse of them this scaring them and them going deep. I would ask the Maldivian government to limit the boats allowed by policing more as what we say kind of made me feel bad for the animals I know it’s tourism and people need to make a living but it verged on obscene how some chartered boats were behaving. Something needs to happen to protect these beautiful animals. Overall the resort is fabulous the accommodation is amazing. The food choices were great. You can see a medic at no extra cost if you have to. We got sunburnt on day two of our stay due to laying out whilst cloudy. Maybe the resort staff should warn customers of the strength of the sun during peak times it’s like a UV index I have never experienced and I have worked all over the world for the past 30 years. Between 11am and 3pm it was mostly UV index extreme. Which limited your time in the sun to sunbathe. |To round up this review this country and resort is amazingly beautiful the staff are very welcoming and can’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable if you are looking for a holiday to relax this is the place to come to. Even the entertainment was relaxing not overly in your face music just very chilled vibes. We did go home very relaxed which is what we wanted from this holiday and we got it.

We have spent 2 weeks in this resort, from 24th of December till 07st of January.||This was our tenth time in Maldives and we have been very glad to visit Barcelo Whale Lagoon. It has been a very pleasant stay.||The resort is all new and for this reason we were afraid that there was no vegetation around the resort.|Instead the resort is surrounded by very tall palm trees and lots of greenery which the staff takes care of with great attention. |All around the resort is very clean and we really appreciated that every morning the whole beach is carefully cleaned.|The food is excellent and varied and the whole restaurant staff are precious; New Year's Eve dinner was really fantastic. I still wonder how they managed to prepare all that food. THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY GREAT!|The whole staff is kind and polite and continually strives to make you feel comfortable.|We would like to thank everyone for giving us the opportunity to spend two wonderful weeks in Barcelo. Special thanks to Mohamed who kept our room perfect for the entire time spent, a very kind guy and very helpful in case of any need. He surprised us with his amazing “works”. |And special thanks to Fatho and Sushant who has been very kind with us during our stay.|We will surely come back again and we suggest to future clients the Beach Suite with Pool even if the other rooms are as well very very nice.|Laura

Great experience at Barcelo. Highly recommended not just for the resort indeed but also for the excellent service and smiley and warm staff. Stunning location surrounded by a reef which creates a shallow lagoon, perfect to enjoy a relax swimm. |I would highlight the warm staff always ready to help and smiley ( like Noor) and of course the villas in the water which are simply breathtaking. Materials are new brand, all looks nice and the resort maintenance is just great. 2 infinity pools make it perfect and good variety of food. To add something to improve, I would say that I missed more fruit in the breakfast, like pineapple and lunch time schedules are a bit tight. Cocktails were far behind my expectations,the only bad thing I can say. Need to improve on that.

The hospitality at this resort is unmatched. You're met with genuine smiles and warm greetings at all times of the day without fail. I highly suggest you visit Breeze bar because the servers Manish and Aryan made our experience so much better with their excellent service and fun stories. Everything is kept in impeccable shape and the amenities are abundant. With themed dinner and parties it's never a dull day. In addition, if you're on your honeymoon like my wife and I were they go above and beyond to celebrate you.

Let’s begin.. we were one of the very first guests and spend a good 2 week honeymoon at Barceló. This was our first time with Barceló and every member of staff made it absolutely fantastic! The location is perfect, only a 30 minutes sea plane ride away from the airport with showers and breakfast available at local departures lounge. The rooms were cleaned twice a day, always fresh and welcoming like home. The staff is very well trained! They have manners, they know how to please customers and they definitely have a personalized approach to each and every guest. We liked the food! Chef Madu 👋very nice chef and a friendly man!! Ask him and he will cook the world to you! It’s an unforgettable place which is definitely going to make you want come back again.. we will try so! Mary, I know you will read it, thanks for your help and support! Hope to see you again! Keep up Barceló.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the newly opened Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives resort in an overwater villa. It was an absolutely incredible experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable vacation. The overwater villas are spacious and beautifully appointed, with everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The bed is huge and incredibly comfortable. I spent hours swimming, and it was amazing to wake up to the sound of the waves every morning. The resort itself is also top-notch. There are two infinity pools, a variety of restaurants and bars, and a spa. I especially enjoyed the food, which was delicious and varied.

Arriving at this wonderful, heavenly place called “Barceló Whale Lagoon Maldives, we were warmly greeted with a delicious welcome drinks made from some fruit, and literally 20 minutes later we found ourselves in our villa. The design of the villa is very interesting! A lot of natural wood, unusual decorative elements! The only thing is that we were unlucky with our neighbors, they always smoked. My daughter has a disease that’s why any harmful odors are dangerous. We explained the situation and we were moved to another villa, where the neighbors were young people who did not smoke. I thank the reception team for such a quick decision problems! The reception team is very welcoming and friendly! It’s so good that there is a Russian-speaking administrator, Marina, who can explain everything in detail and help in any situation! Now my story will concern the “Sea Salt” restaurant. The food is mediocre. There are some tasty dishes, but there are just few of them. Swapnil cooks very tasty. He is like a Shiva with many arms, he is doing well everywhere, and with all this, he always smiles sincerely and speaks politely! I would like to express special thanks to the waiters for their responsiveness, attentiveness, and great mood: Aryan, Zayan, Salim, Hisaan! It seems to me that Ameez would be a good manager, he is customer-oriented, remembers everyone’s preferences, always quickly resolves any situation, and he is always polite and simply sincere! The one I didn’t like was Rejin - he mixed up orders all the time, as he is very keen on peddling private dinners for couples and an additional menu with seafood. He doesn’t know how to sell, he intrusive sell(( Unfortunately, I don’t know the name of the girl manager of the restaurant, who walks around in a long shirt and trousers. She is attentive only to Americans, Germans, and Chinese. She simply does not notice Russians. Several times on her way she simply asked: “How are you?” And walking quickly without waiting for our answer immediately went to other visitors. Why ask if you are not interested... I would also like to mention Ali, who cleaned our villa. Very modest, attentive to detail! Cleans well, even sorts all our creams out. I would like to express my gratitude to the staff from the Spa. By going to this oasis of peace, you meet the sweet smiles of the girls, their strong and at the same time gentle hands will relax any body! I want to say a special thank to the spa administrator Ester! She is simply wonderful, she understands perfectly, even the Russian language. She knows how to unobtrusively suggest procedures and cosmetics, which is very important ! At the spa you can feel care for the client as soon as you step on their threshold😊 In general, we liked the hotel, we liked the team. There are nuances, but the welcoming and friendly attitude of your staff cover any shortcomings!

Ameez мне кажется был бы хорошим менеджером,он клиенториентирован, помнит предпочтения каждого,всегда быстро разрешит любую ситуацию,всегда вежлив и просто искренний! Кто мне не понравился так это Rejin-постоянно путает заказ,так как сильно увлечен втюхиванием приватных мест на ужин для парочек и дополнительного меню с морепродуктами.Продавать не умеет,занимается именно впариванием((К сожалению,не знаю как зовут девушку-менеджера ресторана,которая ходит в длинной рубашке и брючках.Внимательна она только с американцами,немцами,китайцами.Русских она просто не замечает.Несколько раз просто по пути спросила:”How are you?”Чисто проходя мимо и сразу уходя к другим посетителям,не дождавшись нашего ответа.Зачем спрашивать,если тебе не интересно…Хочу также отметить Ali,который занимался уборкой нашей виллы.Очень скромный,внимательный к деталям!Отлично убирает,даже все наши кремы сложит красиво).Хочу выразить слова благодарности персоналу из спа. Заходя в этот оазис умиротворения встречаешь милые улыбки девушек,их сильные и в то же время нежные руки расслабят любое тело! Отдельное спасибо хочу сказать администратору спа Ester!Она просто чудесная,понимает с полуслова,даже русский язык.Умеет ненавязчиво предложить процедуры и косметику,что очень важно! В спа ощущаешь заботу о клиенте,едва ступив на их порог😊Вообщем,отель нам понравился,понравилась команда.Есть нюансы,но доброжелательное отношение вашего персонала перекрывает все недочеты!

The scenery was beautiful and the condition of the room was great. Our butler in particular was outstanding. Thanks to him, we were able to have an excellent trip. Thank you. Although there were some disappointing aspects, it is a quiet and lovely place. I recommend it.

Siamo stati la prima settimana di gennaio. Letteralmente perfetto. Struttura nuovissima e senza difetti. Avevamo la palafitta, camera enorme, scenografica, allestita di tutto punto. Mare spettacolare, un sacco di pesci, le razze che ti nuotano sotto casa... Ristorante buonissimo e molto vario. Tantissimo personale, gentilissimo e onnipresente. Camera rifatta due volte al giorno (la seconda volta superflua...). Bella l'escursione in barca, in cui anche se non abbiamo visto lo squalo balena, abbiamo fatto snorkeling tra tartarughe e un'infinita di pesci. In generale veramente difficile trovare un difetto! Consigliatissimo

We spent 13 unforgettable days here and it was one of our best vacations. The atoll is surrounded by a crystal clear, slowly deepening ocean with plenty of fish including mantas and whale sharks. The hotel is almost brand new, there are cca 100 bungalows on the island with direct access to the ocean. Each has the wonderful view. The staff is very helpful, organising exciting tours on group or private basis. The rooms are clean

Отдых 27.01-04.02.2024 Система All Inclusive Premium (максимальная в этом резорте) Ждали гидроплан 3 часа в аэропорту, лаундж приличный. На обратный путь сказали вылет с резорта в 9:15, вылетели в 10:30. Утром никто про изменение в расписании не предупредил. Куковали на ресепшен. По приему и заселению вопросов не было. Стараются решить все вопросы и проблемы быстро, менеджеру Фазему отдельное спасибо! Он очень-очень старается и отдается работе. Но его одного на ВЕСЬ персонал - не достаточно. Менеджмент на низком уровне. Не понимаю, откуда столько восторженных отзывов. Над сервисом в ресторанах, барах и общих зонах работать и работать. 4 ночи на суше, 4 ночи на воде. Для меня: лучшая вилла для отдыха beach sunset with pool. Крайняя water-villa 337 sunset - заката почти не видно, ветер сильный. На отливе с водной виллы купаться невозможно. Приходится прыгать с лестницы в камни, забираться тоже потом так себе по комфорту. Что касается водных вилл на рассвете - вообще никакого уединения, они просматриваются АБСОЛЮТНО со всех сторон. В целом вода вокруг острова по-колено!!! Еда нормальная. Без изысков, каких-то супер крутых блюд и морепродуктов. Качество еды хорошее, не смотря на не большой выбор. Но могло быть и лучше за эти деньги. Нет кокосового молока, это нонсенс. Нет напитков и коктейлей в кокосе, что так популярно на Мальдивах ;) По алко и другим напиткам - вопросов нет. Хотя в мини баре только пиво, за такие деньги тоже странно. Снеки платно. Ресторан Аква - восторг, лучший ужин. Вопросы и проблемы резорта: 1. Первые 2 дня они проводили нас по другой системе, All Inclusive normal, выяснилось это, когда нам принесли счет за пиво. После выяснений извинились - бутылка игристого в номер. 2. Сервис и еще раз сервис. Только после моих постоянных жалоб стало лучше. На меня стали обращать внимание все. Есть над чем работать. Например: в 9 утра 2 садовника встают у твоей входной двери и очень громко начинают что-то выяснять между собой. Порой долго несут напитки, убирают посуду со стола через раз. У бассейна вообще сам себя обслуживай. И многие другие недостатки, который не допустимы в 5*. 3. Терраса на водной вилле. Нет никакого навеса. Сгорай под солнцем, мокни под дождем. Возможно во многих резортах отсутствует минимальный навес, но для меня это оказалось важно. На бич вилле терраса разделена (образно) на 2 части. Это идеально. 4. Мини бар! Обращайте внимание, на то, что платно! Должен быть прайс. Ну и вина, игристого и тд не ждите. Из алко - 4 пива в день. 5. Цена резорта очень завышена. С учетом того, какой они дают сервис, наполнения резорта, расположения вилл, очень мелкого океана вокруг своих денег не стоит!!! Очень разочарована, что выбрала данный отель для отдыха при своем бюджете. Выбор был приличный!

Vacanza Indimenticabile, Il posto è un resort di lusso e noi abbiamo avuto la fortuna di passare 1 settimana tra fine gennaio 2024 ed inizio febbraio. La camera era conforevole e una pulizia impeccabile, il ristorante principale offre dei piatti di alta qualità e di ampia scelta, specialmente la parte dei dolci sempre diversi ogni giorno. Abbiamo trovato disponibilità e gentilezza ovunque, cosa normale comunque alle Maldive, tutte persone che hanno contribuito a farci passare una vacanza da sogno in un paradiso terrestre. Io ( Giorgio ) e mia moglie Mirella, abbiamo festeggiato in anticipo di alcuni mesi il 40° anno di matrimonio, e lo staff ci ha fatto trovare con sorpresa una dedica in camera ed un dolce per festeggiare, molto apprezzato. Ringrazio tutti di cuore, non ricordo i loro nomi, ma tutti sono riusciti a farci entusiasmare ancora una volta alle Maldive. Giorgio e Mirella

Конечно в целом, отель неплохой, плюс делаю ему скидку так как он недавно открылся. Но! Очень много но, которые мне не понравились и больше я бы не хотела с таким сталкиваться. 1) уровень воды вокруг острова - по колено! Плавать не возможно. 2) у нас был план питания: все включено Но при этом все включено, нам все равно можно было брать не весь алкоголь, потому что что то было платно. Бред конечно! Это самый большой минус этого отеля. У них есть все включено и премиум все включено. Премиум отличается только тем, что туда входит на пару видов алкоголя больше, ну соответственно и ценой. Почему нельзя сделать один план питания, и чтобы туда входило все, а не какие то заморочки🤦🏻‍♀️ 3) также мини бар, из алкоголя там только пиво, больше ничего нет, для меня это был шок😳 а все снеки платно. Очередной бред🤦🏻‍♀️ 4) абсолютно не приватные виллы по всему острову из за отсутствия растений!!! Сидишь на качелях, соседи видят и слышат что ты делаешь👎🏼 5) виллы однозначно лучше на стороне заката, во первых на стороне рассвета постоянно сильный ветер 24/7, грязный океан, плохой неровный пляж У нас была на закате, тут я не пожалела, что доплатили за нее, невероятной красоты закаты каждый вечер и спокойная тихая лагуна! 6) питание 4/5 Фрукты 1/5 просто отстой! Не одного вкусного фрукта не было за все время пребывания! Безвкусно абсолютно все😳 Десерты 2/5 по 3 разновидности десерта было, не больше, все самое простое 7) не одного бесплатно безмоторного вида спорта нет, только маска с ластами 8) не одной бесплатной экскурсии 9) в номерах грязные заляпанные стеклянные двери стоят, попросила на ресепшене помыть их, на что они сказали, что это брак и во многих виллах стоят такие двери, они их будут менять😳 Ну короче ждешь от мальдив люкса, красоты, чистоты, а тут приезжаешь и ахреневаешь от всех минусов данного отеля😳 Это реальные минусы отеля! Все остальное было замечательно. Но второй раз я в этот отель точно не поехала бы!
