Good Convenient Choice
a good variety of activities offerred and white sandy beaches and 15 minutes boat ride from Male makes this resort a wonderful place to stay between trips (for us Sri Lanka and Seychelles). We went on night fishing seeing sunset and sunset cruise seeing lots of dolphins. We had half-board and just about right amount of food and varieties to meet all kinds of diet restrictions. Overall room is nice and very comfortable

Beautiful property
Great property! Beautiful beach and landscape. Comfortable rooms. Bathrooms are open air and do not have a roof. May be a bit scary for those who do not like insects and lizards at night. They didn’t enter the room or bathroom though. Food is good but not excellent.

A five star holiday!
Amazing holiday in Bandos! We had such a great time. We stayed in a Beach Villa, which was a great choice, very clean and modern. The resort is beautiful, clean and well cared for. Special thanks to the ladies at the Kokko Kids club for enabling us to use the great services of Sawid and the team at Bandos Dive while our toddler was having a great time at the club and cared for. The shark dive was a once in a lifetime experience! Also Swapan at Sea Breeze deserves extra thanks for always meeting our kid with such smiles and sincere warmth and extra attention! And Rameez at Huvan was awesome as well, so friendly and excellent service. All the staff is five stars. Very very warmly recommend and hope to return!

Goods: Really friendly staff, great variety in the cuisine, beautiful beach, room was good. It was my honeymoon and they really catered very well to it. A tiny bit unorganised with a few requests but cannot complain as overall experience was great. Transport to and from airport was top notch. Very interactive clubhouse and multiple lounge areas for a change in setting away from the rooms. Also has a Mosque Drawbacks: It is very expensive, the country as a whole prefers to do transactions in US dollars so be careful of this. The excursions and experiences are very pricey but the service is second to none. Would highly recommend going for a full board - all inclusive as this will probably save you a lot more money. All in all - 9/10

First time in Maldives, we chose Bandos for our 10 day stay. Island is beautiful, with picture perfect beaches, very good for snorkeling or diving. We booked standard room which was big with everything u need inside, bathroom is a bit dated, needs some renovation but nothing bad. Food was delicious, I tried every curry and loved it all. Staff very friendly and polite. Overall we had great holiday and definitely recommend Bandos. I gave 4 stars for cleaning only because i never seen floors being mopped in our 10 day stay. Not the cleaners fault I assume they were told not to mop the floors by management. Only negative thing we experienced was at arrival, we travelled across the world to maldives, haven't slept 22 hours, tired and hungry we arrived at 9am unfortunately we were told that we can not have breakfast and our meal package starts from evening meal, which was at 7pm. No snacks in the room either. First time we were refused food by a hotel on arrival. Not nice. Overall great stay.
