Baoase Luxury Resort

This was our fourth week-long stay at Baoase Luxury Resort, and once again, it did not disappoint. With each visit, the resort feels more like home. From the moment we arrive, we are welcomed like family, and it’s this personal touch—combined with the resort’s unmatched beauty—that keeps us returning year after year. One of the most notable additions this trip was the newly opened Bida Beach. We were initially a bit hesitant as we always book a Superior Beachfront Suite and were concerned that the privacy might be interrupted. Upon arrival, we received a tour of the new beach area and were impressed by how they strove to maintain the privacy of these accommodations. I do feel that the beautification of this area has enhanced the view from our suite on that side of the resort. They were very careful to be sensitive to preserving privacy—most of the beach area faces away from the private beaches. There is one area near the bar that looks directly onto those suites, but it is a small section. Sitting at the bar does allow other guests to view our beaches briefly. We also appreciated how thoughtfully the speakers were placed—music is mostly undetectable from our accommodation, even on the nights when there is a live DJ. Even then (typically Friday and Saturday), the music is respectful and not intrusive. We gave a lot of direct feedback to management, and they were very receptive. Namely, I would appreciate them blocking off the area of the dock near the bar where guests can step down a couple of platforms and look toward the private beachfront suites. We did notice a few guests lingering there a bit too long. It wasn’t a major concern, but closing that area would further enhance privacy. As always, the food was incredible. There is a new chef executing their Michelin-star-level meals. Chef Oliver was very attentive and came out to our table multiple times each evening. His new additions to the dinner menu were especially welcomed by those of us who don’t leave the resort—and everything was beautifully prepared. We especially loved the octopus starter! Chef Renée Klop remains involved in a more executive role, and the quality and creativity of the food remain exceptional. We also enjoyed the new options available at Bida Beach—a few lunch items there are not available in the main restaurant. We loved the prosciutto pizza, the spicy mango margarita, and the spicy mango dessert! These are exclusive to that beach area. While there were a few dishes that weren’t our favorites, we gave feedback, and as always, the team was incredibly receptive. That’s one of the things we appreciate most about Baoase—their sincere commitment to improving and personalizing your stay, right down to your food preferences. If there’s something you’d like that isn’t on the menu, they encourage you to speak directly to the chef—especially for longer stays. We also enjoyed another romantic dining experience for our anniversary, and it was once again handled with such attentio

The ruby of the Caribbean, indeed! Baoase truly is a hidden gem. What a beautiful place! Our accommodations were well laid out, clean and included everything we needed. The cuisine was exceptional—we found every dish to be delicious, including (and perhaps especially) the amuse bouches. We also appreciated the beach bites. But most importantly, the staff were remarkable in their friendliness and attentiveness; always offering assistance and able to accommodate our dietary restrictions without hesitation. They helped make our daughter’s birthday a memorable one. The excellent service may be the best part of this wonderful resort.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Baoase. The resort is so beautifully located such that you feel tucked away but are close to everything. The service was terrific from our welcome, to arranging cabs, to meals and bar service at the beach. We enjoyed meals on property but with a more limited dinner menu, we chose to eat off property most nights. We did really enjoy the one specialty dinner night we did - Indian night on the Sunset Deck - and they beautifully accommodated one guest's food allergies with an entirely separate and delicious meal. Our three bedroom suite was beautiful and comfortable. It was a relaxing and rejuvenating week and we highly recommend Baose for it's relaxed luxury and friendly vibe.
