Our stay in Bandos couldn’t have been better. We stayed in a Superior Beach Villa, 1 minute walk from the beach. Room was very clean and serviced every morning whilst we were at breakfast. We went all inclusive and were very happy with what was included and what wasn’t. Food choices from the buffet were excellent and the restaurant staff were great. As we had a late return flight we booked a massage at the spa and spent a couple of hours before and after relaxing on the sun beds and shower before departure. Risma and Ploy gave us a great massage. We definitely will be back to Bandos - it’s just a matter of saving up!!!!

It was an amazing stay: a highly maintained two-storied villa, a secluded (almost private) beach, a wide variety of ocean creatures and unforgettable sunsets.

Lovely stay

From the start very friendly helpful staff. Although the hotel was fully booked it never felt crowded. Rooms in very good condition (Premium Villas) and just a lovely place to stay. Special thanks to Shaamil in the Sunset bar and the buffet dining area: very friendly, helpful and nothing too much trouble!

Not great experience

This was our first time in the Maldives, and we only stayed at Bandos. We've been to most of the Carribean and USV Islands, Mauritius, and Sri Lanka, so we are aware of island prices and economics. But this place felt like they were nickle and diming us every chance they got. Fresh juice? $18-20. Cappuccino with breakfast? Extra. Kids snorkeling mask at the gift shop? $85. Pool table that nobody is using? $6/30 mins. But the worst of it was the fact that they would not give us a late checkout for 3 hours even though we were willing to pay for it. We had a 25 hour flight ahead of us, and with two small kids - a late checkout would've been very helpful. We checked on their website - and there were plently of rooms available. We went to the front desk the day before, but they told us to come back after 8pm because they were still taking reservations. After 8pm, they said the reservation manager had left for the day. The next morning, they simply refused to help us even though we offered to pay $300 for the 3 hours - it was almost as if helping us would hurt them. Mind you, plently of rooms still available on their website for $700 that night. They said their website was wrong, and that they were having system issues, but actually, no room was available. Considering we paid $1000/night for 5 days, it just felt like they could've helped, but actively didn't. Anyways, we were told there are plently of nice places in the Maldives, so we will go back. But probably not to Bandos.

The whole property is very tired, the rooms we booked were apparently new but in actual fact they weren’t maybe the bathroom was refurbished 2/3 years ago. Photos are not reality at all. Food quality was extremely low, basic at best and NYE €750 for a buffet for 2 adults is a disgrace, if it were Al Carte dining maybe - in essence it was the same buffet that was available daily with a few additions….then to cap it off the remains were brought out the next day!! Very very poor resort

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

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!
