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.

A beautiful island just below 30 minutes from Male. The corals reefs surrounding the island is wonderful. Food could be better - less variety, mostly Malidivian cuisine is served every meal.

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.
