The staff at Bandos are always super friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make you feel like a welcomed guest. The rooms are really clean and the housekeeping staff are very attentive. Lohan and the rest of the restaurant staff and cook do an amazing job. The service is great and the food is really really good and they have a great selection.

Cleaning environment, quiet and conveniency. What I don’t like commuting from room without transportation especially my room being far away. I had to walk 10 to 15 mins to dining and to main office. The first day I came I had wait for an 1hr before the boat could move Because we had to wait for another travelers. Which is not nice. I had long flights of 19hrs.
