Bandos Maldives

-All premises around and were very clean and

Lovely hotel, very family friendly. Facilities and entertainment are very limited at the moment due to COVID (only Huvan, Grill Deck and Sea Breeze are open), but there was still plenty to do for a young family. Staff are very friendly, particularly Guru at the pool bar. Food was fantastic and plentiful. House reef is great for snorkeling. We stayed in a Superior Beach Villa which didn't have direct access to a beach but it was only a small walk - room was a bit dated but generally had everything we needed. Outside jacuzzi bath was a great touch. Would definitely visit again.

Resort maravilhoso. Funcionários eficientes e excelente comida. Fácil acesso do aeroporto (10 min de lancha). Um lugar para chamar de seu, com toda tranquilidade de uma ilha paradisíaca.

The hotel is nice, the people are very attentive. Bc of covid we had to stay on the island and there is not much to do and see, u can do the water sports but prices are high. Only thing is that you have to get all inclusive bc it is very expensive. The spa was great, the massage therapists were amazing. I had all inclusive and still managed to have a bill of over $700 since we wanted to eat something different from the buffet and had other types of drinks. Wish all inclusive had more of a variety to eat/drink, we could only eat at one place where it was a buffet, food is god but not much to choose from. A lot of places were closed also bc of Covid. The beach needs some type of lifeguard bc there was 2 different occasions people almost drowned. The island has only that resort which is nice and private, be careful w the airport transportation, I booked thru Expedia which stated free airport transfer and they tried to charge us about $180 for transfer.

Harika bir deneyi yaşadık. Otel ve ada çok güzel. Çalışanlar güler yüzlü ve yardımseverler.

Excellent service, friendly staff throughout all departments. The Dive Centre and it's staff is first class !

I would say that Bandos has even exceeded our expectations. First of all its location is prime. Just a 15 minute boat ride from the airport. Great team of hospitable and attentive staff, very helpful friendly people. Great service. Clean. Neat. The marine life is spectacular and very close to the beach. It is only needed to paddle out less than a minute and you will be there. Thank you bandos team!

I first stayed at Bandos resot 30 years ago. It has changed a lot in this time with a lot more facilities. It is a well run resort and the staff of friendly and professional. Great care was taken to maintain safety control measures because of the Covid 19 pandemic and we felt completeley safe at all times.Because the resort had only re-opened 2 weeks earlie because of the pandemic, not all of the facilities were open, but this was not a problem because occupancy at that time was quite low. At full occupancy, bars and resturants would be very busy and access to the best parts of the beaches more difficult, although all sun loungers were numbered by room. Our experience was overall very positive, the island is quite close to Male Airport, so the boat transfer is relatively quick, but the capital Male and associated islands can be clearly seen from part of the island, and this together with a significant number of tankers and other large boats temporarilly moored offshore because they cannot dock at Male Port at the moment means that you dont get the isolated desert island feel, particularly at the moment. The all inclusive menues, being bassed around fixed choices is a bit limiting, although the food was of good quality. The resort is well maintained, although I think more attention could be paid to walking the beaches to collect any litter washed up - I remoived quite a lot over the latter part of the holiday and had to alert staff to collect it. Overall a most enjoyable.

We enjoyed a truly relaxing week at Bandos. The staff were all friendly and worked hard to make sure our every need was met. They even went so far as to deliver breakfast to us each morning since I was traveling with my toddler. The only small complaint I had was that we could hear very clearly the people in the neighboring villa through the walls. Not a dealbreaker but it is something to consider. They weren’t being overly loud I just think the walls were thin

Now where do I start? This place is absolutely fab. If you want a place that has a good mix of not travelling too far after your flight, chilled out, welcoming and hospitable, then look no further - this is the place. Right through from check in, I got the VIP treatment from Ibrahim who manages the front office. He was there on call anytime I needed anything - even if I wanted a coconut! He was attentive, and to be honest never said no to anything; even when I wanted to use the gym out of hours. The food is pretty good and I think they did a great job reopening this place. I was one of the lucky ones to arrive on opening day and although the facilities/amenities are not fully open (all but a few to be clear) they did a great job of maintaining social distancing, hygiene and extremely organised at it. I never felt I was at risk in this place and it was truly an amazing/relaxing stay. So much so that I extended 2 extra nights. They also helped me with the COVID test and everything was done so efficient and comfortably by the hotel’s clinic. At the spa, Nui did an amazing treatment for my sunburn and so hospitable and kind. Truly an amazing place and I’ll be back in a couple months! Thank you Bandos!
