Beach was lovely. Unfortunately too many mosquito and sand flies, even in the room despite treating the room. Food choices very limited and not ideal if you are fussy or have dietary requirements. We moved to another hotel after 7 days and couldn't bear the same food and the amount of bites any longer

I travalled with 85 year old disabled mum and 88 year old dad. The staff was very helpfull. they arranged a room closed to the restaurants and a wheelchair for my mum. During the transfers from the airport to the hotel and hotel to the airport, they also assisted us. They arranged everything very professionally. Island and the facilities are very pleasant. Food is very good and diverse cousines are available. Rooms are being cleaned 2 times in a day, every morning and every afternoon.The night acitivites are enjoying. The day time is peaceful. The sea is crystal clear, fishes are colorful, the staff is cheerful, so what can you ask for more... Thanks to all Bandos team.

We stayed nights at Bandos then went to another resort for 6 nights. Bandos is great value. We stayed in the Premium Beach Villa. Definitely would pick that room again, IMO the water Villa is not worth the money. We also paid for the All Inclusive option, which was absolutely worth the money. Pros: amazing snorkelling from beach, great for families, good value. Cons: Lacks the luxury that you find in the Maldives. Food/Drinks quality was just average. Bandos was a perfect addition so we could stay longer in the Maldives without break the bank account. However, if we spent the whole time at Bandos, then we would’ve disappointed (because it’s hard not compare resorts).

Stayed 6 days in Sunset villa on halfboard. It is a shaded 5mins stroll to Gallery Restaurant for daily breakfast and dinner. 3mins stroll along the beach to Dive centre. Highly recommended. Breakfast and dinner were buffet-style and refill was always fast. We only ate lunch at Huvan, which is behind the dive centre, facing the beach. Lobster, prawns and calamari were good. Service staff always polite and friendly. Villa was spacious witn unblocked sea view. Spotted a dolphin one afternoon. At night, there are lights facing the water below so we watched pufferfishws, stingrays and fishes. And many stars above.
