Perfect vacation”

We stayed for 8 nights in a beach villa and we extended our stay two more nights in a standard villa, both options with all the necessary comforts, very neat, beautiful and clean rooms. We chose the all-inclusive option, which we especially recommend, due to the wide range of drinks that it includes in the different bars and restaurants of the resort, as well as including the minibar in the room that is replenished daily. The hotel food was very good and varied, predominantly fresh fish and different Asian and international options. At the entrance of the Gallery Restaurant, Cynthia and Claire are in charge of welcoming you with a smile and making sure that the Covid regulations are complied with, they are very friendly and cheerful and from the second day they already knew our room number. The waiters and cooks at the buffet also stand out for their kindness and professionalism. We would like to highlight the treatment received by Halleem, Vishah, Alim and Faizan, who were always very aware of us, being very friendly and close at all times. Also note the joy of Ahmed Adam, chef of the buffet grill and Deepak Yadew, responsible for the dessert area. Special dinners are organized at the resort, such as the grill dinner on Thursday nights. It consists of a variety of fresh seafood, fish and meat along with other international dishes that are served on the very shore of the beach just at sunset, allowing you to enjoy the surroundings and the spectacular views. The Huvan Bar is the ideal place to enjoy the sunset with a beer or a great cocktail. Highlight the treatment of Vikram, who always anticipated our wishes. The Sea breeze also serves different beverage options, as well as snacks and afternoon tea. It is very pleasant both for its interior space and for the outdoor terrace, just above the sea, illuminated at night, from where you can see baby sharks and stingrays.

Bandos Bliss!”

Bandos turned out better than expected. Resort is seasoned & rustic, but it was well maintained & cozy. There were upgrading works going on, but they did not disrupt our stay. The buffets were good and there was a good enough variety to satisfy our tummies. We must highlight the curries which were all delicious and different each meal/day. We stayed in the Superior Villa which was newly renovated, the room design was modern & tasteful, bathroom with outdoor shower was spacious, clean & felt luxurious. We loved our Villa and how it was very close to the beach and Huvan Bar for the glorious sunsets every evening. Staff were all very friendly & service was good. Except perhaps the boatmen at the Watersports Center, they need to smile more. We would like to compliment Jade from the Pool bar, Selvan our daily cleaner, Shan from reception, Jinaah from Huvan Bar and a couple others from the Gallery restaurant whose friendly faces & chatter made our stay extra special. Bandos surprised my partner with a birthday cake at dinner, which was a very nice gesture. Negatives if at all was the pool being quite small for a huge resort, and some of the other room types look in need of upgrading, the landscaping at the opposite side of island from the restaurants need to be up kept. Overall, you don’t have to go far for a wonderful island stay in Maldives. Bandos definitely hit all the right notes for us. Thank you :)

good resort for a comfortable stay, really enjoyed”

Great service, nice staff, tasty food, very comfortable apartment. Lots of small but pleasant conveniences ( 4 bottles of water in the room every day, blackout curtains, free water at dinner even with half board ). House reef is nice but maybe quite dying. Gym, table tennis, continuous road around the island also nice. No mosquitos (important!!) The only issue is wi-fi, very slow. You might consider buying a sim-card. But we prepared something to read in advance so no problem with it.

Everything is high quality and extremely pleasant. Rooms are very comfortable and the gym is nice. Pluses include: Solar hot water, no noise disruption (eg loud generators / construction) drinking water provided, food at a la carte restaurant / room service is very good and reasonably priced, nice dive crew and generally friendly and helpful staff. Only minus is it doesn’t have the wrap around white sand beach some other resorts seem to have, but it still has good stretches of lovely beach and it has a reef all around which is fun for diving and snorkelling. It’s not the fanciest resort in the world, but ideal for anyone looking for high quality and value for money.

An Awesome Stay at Bandos”

We would like to share our thought which may help others who are planning to stay at Bandos Maldives. Our adventure was started at Male Airport by a resort representative who welcomed us. Due to the intensive workload we guess, there was nobody on the stand and after 20 minutes, the representative arrived. Speedboat transfer took 15 minutes to Bandos. Reception personnel guided us perfectly regarding our stay at Bandos. All personnel was deeply helpful and seemed friendly. We moved to our Garden Villa by golf car. The room was perfect and capable for 2 people. The problem was 2 different rooms are in the garden villa and we could hear the sounds of the near room. If you would give importance to privacy, you may take a superior beach villa which we also tried. The nature, ocean and also swimming pool was awesome. Since we were honeymoon couple, we were able to take many awesome photos in Bandos. The breakfast, lunch and dinner which includes many types of dishes were also awesome. I strongly recommend you to watch YouTube videos before performing a reservation. As we see, many families and honeymoon couples were in the island. The only problem that we felt was there was no opportunity to enjoy free/cheap advertisement opportunities like disco, sea tours and night funs. It shall be improved by hotel management. All personnel in the Bandos were deeply helpful and always smile. Thanks to Bandos Maldives Management for this great visit. Also, you should know that your personnel shows a great effort which is the best.

Bang for the buck, BUT”

First off you should know this will be amongst the cheapest transfers in Maldives. Secondly if you dream of a water villa its huge, and probably the least expensive. Its not cheap but in terms of value is a lot better. Comes with impressive interiors and a gorgeous bathroom. The "water" area is large enough with hanging life vests which is a good idea. One complaint is that considering the large area, they could have added a feature like a glass bottom or a net hammock at the bottom (or whatever it is called). They have it near sea breeze cafe. But on a water villa itd be nice. Having said that I would not suggest a water villa unless you want to stay there throughout your stay. What happens is if you wanna just try it for a night or two, you try to squeeze out as much out of it and spend lesser time on the beach. According to me Huvan (Their sunset bar) is a better place to hang around. Undoubtedly. From 5 pm on. Why? Because it is near the better and livelier reef. The reef is dead. No doubt about it. But I found a big white tip swimming in the deep blue around the reef while snorkeling. Drinks included in the all inclusive are the same as in the sea breeze cafe. But Huvan is livelier and more premium if I dare say so. The beach villas are great enough. Lots of catagories to chose from. (If you're old, be prepared to walk a lot to the main restaurant) I came from a liveaboard so i wasnt needing to see a lot of marine life. I had my mocktails and cocktails. Relaxed. Beach bummed. So Id say a great place. UNLESS. UNLESS you expect good food. Its omg seriously average. The gravies and sauces are ok-good. But they cant cook meat without overcooking it. Mostly always a pain in the jaw. I stopped having the meat. I think they should better the food and I can certainly tell you Indians who can afford Maldives would recommend the place to the others. But alas, Im going to tell my parents to try the competition around. Hopefully itll have good foo

Had a great time. ”

All islands in Maldives are beautiful, clean and peaceful. But the speciality about this island resort is the DIVE BANDOS. You can take courses or anything like rest all islands, but it's the only resort where instructors help and guide the non swimmers or water phobics for scuba diving for few hours fun.

Really recommend!!”

Beatiful island! Near to Male, but still quit. The sand was white and the water was crystal clear, it was the most beauiful beach I have ever seen. The hotel was fully booked so our room was upgraded to a better one for free. The food was great, the staff was very kind to us, especially Mohamed who was responsible for our room. We got 6 bottles of water every day for free! Really recommend, great value/price.

Best holiday”

I don't know where to start ... This was our first vacation in the Maldives. We chose all inclusive for 8 nights, standard room. The room is much larger than it looks in the photos. The cleaning, the food, the beach, the house reef... everything exceeded our expectations, which we had formed from the other reviews ... I can't wait to come back again. I'm afraid to book another resort because we just fell in love with this one (nature, forest, everything). Thank you Bandos Island.
