We spent our belated honeymoon at Bandos Maldives Island Resort and were absolutely enchanted by the island’s stunning natural beauty. The beaches were pristine, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing, while the house reef was nothing short of incredible, full of vibrant, healthy corals, colorful fish, reef sharks, and sea turtles. If you’re lucky, you may even spot octopuses or large prawns hiding among the rocks! The hotel itself was spotless and well-maintained. Our room was comfortable and cozy, the facilities were modern, and the overall atmosphere felt wonderfully serene. We also appreciated the great variety of dining options, the beautifully kept gardens. The hotel staff was consistently kind, warm, and genuinely welcoming. We truly enjoyed our conversations with them, which made our stay even more memorable. A special thank you goes to Swapan, our favorite waiter, whose positivity and cheerful smile brightened every meal! We look forward to returning one day and seeing Swapan, Janani, Cynthia, and Shuna again. Thank you all for making our honeymoon unforgettable!

We had all-inclusive, but not all food and drinks were included. Very nice resort and many other activities included such as tennis, paddle board, table tennis...

I will start with the Cons: 1. Reservation Issues: It took Emirates Holiday almost five days to check an overwater villa, but they couldn't reserve it. When I arrived, the resort offered the villa for an extra $615. 2. Unprofessional Reception: The reception lacked proper explanation about the resort's facilities and amenities. 3. Poor Room Service: Room service was uncoordinated, with poor communication with the reception. If you’re planning a special moment, don’t expect any surprises to go as planned. 4. Overpriced Food & Bars: Food and drinks are expensive. Full board or all-inclusive is necessary. 5. Expensive Activities: Resort activities and trips are overpriced. Pros: 1. Beautiful Villas: The Premium Villa was superb with a sky jacuzzi. The Overwater Villa was elegant and offered good privacy pool 2. Clean Beaches: The beaches were clean and stunning. 3. Friendly Staff: Only Restaurant staff were kind and welcoming. 4. Location: only 15 mins form airport using the resort speed boat Overall: 1. Unless you can deal with the above comments, I don’t recommend spend your money of this resort. 2. The resort has potential, but needs to improve its reservation system, reception, and room service to be truly 5-star.

We just returned from a 15 day family holiday to Bandos. This was our 7th consecutive December trip, which I guess makes it clear that we love coming back each year. Our 3 kids love it there and we see it as our second home. Our youngest literally cried saying why we have to leave so soon (and we had to explain her it had been 2 weeks already) and our middle one is already asking us when we can go back again. Why our family loves Bandos so much: The staff really makes all the difference, and very special thanks to: * Zuhury the head chef, who is very friendly, caring and accommodating - he goes out of his way for the guests and makes the biggest impact for us coming back every year * ⁠Emily and her team in kids club are fantastic, our kids can’t get enough of them and their activities - see more below * ⁠Mansoor in Gallery restaurant, who this year made a true difference, great guy and amazing waiter. * ⁠Mohamed, Rameez, Ibrahim and colleagues in Huvan, and Priyantha the chef there, who accommodate our special requests daily and make us feel so comfortable there * ⁠and last but not least, the management team - in particular Ismail, and also Ibrahim and Afrah for always being so warm and friendly Snorkelling - the house reef is excellent, easily accessible by a 30 seconds swim from Huvan area. In many other islands you wouldn’t have such a nice and convenient house reef. Thousands of colorful fish and recovering corals. We saw this year as usual lots of sharks, turtles, and also some stingrays, eagle rays, eels, squid, etc… We use Huvan area as our base during the day. Their diving school is also one of the best in the world and wins awards etc, but we are more into snorkelling, so we don’t use it much. The pool is also very nice, centrally located with a bar and great trees surrounding it - we prefer the ocean and try to limit the pool usage, but kids love it. Easy access to Male - only 15 minutes by speedboat , so no need to take those tiny noisy water planes and efficient transport after long flight to Male. Kids club - Emily and her team do a fantastic job keeping kids busy with lots of interesting activities. Rare to have such an amazing kids club in the Maldives (or anywhere else in the world…). The food - we must say this wasn’t usually Bandos’ strong point , and we are very pleased to see that it has improved a lot this year with the newly refurbished buffet restaurant. The fish/meat is now soft and juicy as it’s grilled/cooked in front of you. Nice fresh salad and fruits daily. The new head chef Michael made a significant impact - well done to him. Entertainment - Emily and her team are amazing… our girls love singing in karaoke nights and participate in festive activities like Xmas carols, Santa’s arrival activities (this year he came on a jet ski with his elves, each year he finds a new and different way - last year it was paragliding!), beach fun games, etc. there are live concerts 2-3 times a week in evenings in Sand Bar. They put on amazing decorations and events around Xmas and new year time. Nature - the island is blessed by nature. It’s amazing to walk around it or across it through the mature trees. Sometimes you see the gardening team cutting coconuts and they offer them to guests. The spa also is in the middle of these amazing trees and has a nice outdoor jakuzzi. Rooms - don’t expect Kempinski or Four Seasons standards, but they are perfect for this type of holidays We have been to 3 other islands in the Maldives in the past, and Bandos also offers the best value for money. Can’t wait to return next December !

Went here for 10 nights from 21st November to 1st December 2023! Went with a friend and stayed in a premium beach villa, which was excellent! Had the most amazing time here! The staff are so friendly and lovely and give impeccable service, especially Uttar and Jazlaan in the main restaurant who always welcomed us and were brilliant and Sanjay and Guru at the swim up bar at the pool who both gave excellent service. ( Sorry if I spelt their names wrong!) It was a holiday for my birthday and they did a wonderful table decoration and cake on our last night! The weather was great on the most hand. We had one morning of rain and one evening of rain, both lasting a couple of hours and the temperature was about 32 degrees celsius (day) 28 degrees celsius (night). We were on the all-inclusive package, and the food was mostly really good. It is done buffet style and you can always find something you like! Obviously, there is a lot of fish, but they have theme nights too, eg, Mexican, Italian, Maldivian, etc. My only complaint is that you would think all cocktails and drinks would be included on the all-inclusive package, but it is only about 30- 40% of cocktails and house vodka, rum, whiskey and brandy. No liquers like Baileys, Amaretto, etc, are included. We went on the sunset cruise to see dolphins in the wild, which was $80 each, and the experience was AMAZING! The island works on a cashless basis, so everything is signed for, and you settle up on your last night, which made us feel safer not having to carry any money on us. The island is a 10-minute boat ride from the Dock opposite the airport, and we were met in arrivals by staff from the island who were lovely and friendly and helped with our cases. I highly recommend this resort and hope to go back sometime!! Thanks to everyone there who made my birthday so memorable!
