Best luxury resort in Maldives? Fine Gourmet dining? Not really and not really what we were expecting from everything we had read. But what Bandos did offer for our family of four (one 8 year old one 3 year old) was an excellent value and family friendly resort that was just about perfectly suited to our needs. The best part...

Bandos Resort and Spa is everything my wife and I wanted and more. First, they have regular shuttles from the Male' jetty to the island and back. Second, the island and it's facilities are so awesome I believe when God wants to rest, He spends his time there. The white sand beach is pristine and the sea water is crystal... More

We chose Bandos having seen the reviews on Trip Advisor as although we wanted a relaxing break on the Maldives we didn't want a honeymoon seclusion type of holiday and Bandos didn't disappoint. It was lively enough to not get bored, but was very relaxing too. If you wanted to enjoy cocktails at the bar you could but likewise you... More

I spent four days at the Bandos Island Resort, one of the larger islands and close in to the airport island and the capital city of Male. For me, a harried business traveler, it was a joy to have peace, quiet, beauty and an opportunity to relax. I rented a beach deluxe villa, which is a bungalow with an upstairs... More

I went to Bandos a few years ago on a work trip and loved it. I decided to take my wife back on a holiday and it was the best holiday we had. Not only did it exceed all expectations, but it has just absolutely spoilt any other 'beach paradise' for us. The food was great, service excellent and the... More

Stayed in standard room. Tried to change for beach villa for 3 days. Only after loud talk on the reception we received room. Waiters are very rude. Cleaning is bad. People are distroying corals. Nobody care, no control. Everybody walk on them. I won't return More

It was our first trip to Maldives and we got a headache trying to chose the right place to go, searching on the internet, friends, travel agencies, etc. Honestly chosing where to go was becoming more a pain than a pleasure! After reading some reviews and finding a decent offer on the Internet, we decided to go to Bandos. I... More

We have never been to the Maldives, but had high expectations. All of them were met in Bandos. The accomadation, staff, scenery and service was first class. If you like snorkelling and diving, it is perfect. I would recommend this resort to anyone, including families. One small issue was the All inclusive package, we originally decided to go with that,... More

We live close by and have the opportunity (both for work and leasure) to go to Bandos. Everytime we call the reservation desk for information, we promise to ourselves never go back (but we do since choices around Male are limited...). Once you pass the unpleasant experience of dealing with the reservation staff, things are ok. Nothing incredible in comparison... More
