    “Excellent Staf”

    Our first visit to the Maldives and very happy with the choice to have stayed at Bandos. One of the oldest resort islands in the Maldives, this is certainly not reflected in the quality of the resort, its accommodation or facilities. We are staying in a garden room, and whilst towards the lower end of the selection, budget wise, it is certainly not disappointing. Giving a more genuine 'Maldivian' feel, also perfectly located for all the main facilities, especially the pool, breakfast restaurant (Gallery), gym and one of the best beaches on the island. The only downside of the Garden Villas, and one which would make us consider other accommodation on future visits, is how thin the walls are, having had issues with hearing noise from the guests in the adjoining villa. A big part of the holiday for us was always going to be our first experience of diving in the Maldives. We are experienced scuba divers but had no idea what to expect here. The dive centre, 'Dive Bandos' is a great setup, spacious and well-run, its staff and the local dive sites are outstanding, the highlight of which was a site which offered an incredible close-up experience with Manta Rays. A first for us. Special mention should be given to instructors Reehaan and Sivad, who were incredibly friendly and helpful. The food was great at The Grill, Seabreeze and Huvan. Our personal opinion is that the All Inclusive package wasn't worth having. We went bed and breakfast and have not gone wanting at all, being able to eat and drink where and what we wanted, and in fact, spent less than we would have if on AI. Just worth to say. It needs to be mentioned that what has really made our holiday here (despite the slight Toromelinos feel which was provided by certain British and German guests [not all, we've made some great friends, Mandy, Frank, Gerry!!] especially around the pool at certain times) was the staff. Besides the great staff at Dive Bandos, we have never experienced such a level of service and genuine, warm friendliness as some of the bar and restaurant staff in Bandos have provided. Worth a special mention are, Jay at the Huvan restaurant for his warmth and friendly conversation. Ibrahim for his amazingly honest and helpful advice on the island's facilities and eating options on our arrival. And last but not least, the pool bar staff: The super-friendly Pankaj with his warm smile and great service, and the irreplaceable Guru, who made us feel like friends each day, whether serving us at the pool bar or at the SandBar in the evenings, alongside the incredible entertainment provided by The Wood band, amongst others. Guru was the most engaging staff member we met here, going above and beyond to ensure our happiness and satisfaction, making sure that we were greeted with the best evening cocktails we've ever tasted, and giving us great advice on the drinks selection. It's for the staff that we will undoubtedly return to this amazing island. Thank you all and we'll see you again, Bandos! David & Vicky.

    “One of Recommend resort in Maldives!”

    We had an absolutely amazing time at Bandos from the moment we arrived until our departure everything was smooth and seamless! We were warmly welcomed by Marvel from the Front Office and Kiki from Sales, who were both incredibly informative and helpful. Our diving experience with Amar was fantastic. he was kind, patient, and made sure we had an unforgettable time exploring the ocean. The food was exceptionally delicious, especially at the Seabreeze . Royal, Arya, and Erna always greeted us with bright smiles and provided outstanding service. Breakfast was another highlight, with a lovely buffet offering a variety of dishes, including local delicacies, fresh papaya, and made to order omelets by Chef Ahmed. Shamil, Faisal and Kenchana were always attentive and ensured we had everything we needed. A special mention goes to Nicolas, who went out of his way to prepare my special iced coffee order every day! One of our favorite places was the Huvan bar, where we enjoyed breathtaking sunsets. Ibrahim was always friendly and served the best cocktails, and Leandro amazed us with his talent by creating the most memorable table decoration on our final night. Well done to Fathu, the F\&B Manager, and Ismail, the General Manager, for their excellent work in managing the resort. The only suggestion would be to introduce more activities, such as yoga and meditation, to further engage guests during their stay. Honestly, while the views and rooms were spectacular, it was the incredible staff who truly madeh our stay extraordinary. We sincerely hope this feedback helps them get the recognition they genuinely deserve!

    “Amazing Stay in the Sunset Water Villa”

    My recent stay at Bandos Maldives in the Sunset Water Villa was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome with warm hospitality and great attention to detail. The villa itself is a dream – spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. The highlight, of course, is the breathtaking view of the sunset directly from our private deck, which also had direct access to the crystal-clear lagoon. We saw a wide variety of fish right beneath our villa – colorful schools of fish, rays, and even small sharks! It was incredible to be so close to the marine life without even leaving our villa. For anyone who loves nature, this is a true paradise. The villa’s interior was equally luxurious, with a comfortable bed, modern amenities, and a large bathroom with a rain shower and soaking tub. Every aspect of our stay felt indulgent and private, perfect for anyone looking for a romantic retreat or a peaceful escape. One downside was that the main dining area was quite crowded during our visit, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times. Despite this, the quality of the food and the service remained excellent. Overall, Bandos Maldives exceeded our expectations. The Sunset Water Villa is a perfect blend of luxury, nature, and comfort. Highly recommend this villa for anyone looking for an unforgettable Maldives experience!

    “Absolutely amazing”

    I have to say, I was a little worried about booking Bandos, but I am so happy with my decision. The room was incredible, we happened to get a room right across from the beach, and the beaches were amazing. The food was also quite good, and they had a wide variety of options, which we really appreciated (including gluten free!). We utilized a lot of the amenities, like diving, snorkeling, the pool, billiards, ping pong, and each was a blast. The wifi in our room was weak on the first night, but after asking at the front desk, they fixed it and it was so fast. Most importantly, the staff at the hotel were wonderful. We have to single out three specific staff members who really made our trip and make us want to come back just for them. At the pool bar, Guru was beyond friendly and knowledgeable about the drinks, and he was so friendly. We returned every day to chat with him and get delicious cocktails. At the Sea Breeze restaurant, Marvel was very helpful and made us feel so comfortable. Finally, at the front desk, Rauyaan was very accommodating and helped us with logistics as we departed the island with a big smile. Apart from these three, all of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful and made our experience great. Other things of note: it is a short boat ride from the airport, which is great after a long journey. Also, there were no mosquitoes when we were there thankfully. Finally, although it was rainy season, we only lost one afternoon to rain, and the rest of the time it was sunny or cloudy, which was great.
