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!

Bandos
Very nice Island resort with good eating options. My only 2 issues are that everything is a price then it gets 10% service and 16% VAT added. You are just never sure how much things cost. It was quite expensive and there is no way to work this out before you get there. Also the day trip to Male is only 3 hours and we thought that was no where near enough time. It may have been for some but the two groups we were with wanted longer.

8/10 Very Good

Booked on very short notice and am happy with the result. From the pictures, I thought the island would have been a little smaller - there are a lot of accomodations. That said, nothing ever felt overly crowded. It was always easy to find a nice beach spot to hang out. Staff was really nice. No pressure to buy or do. Board fare was fine, especially for the price. Only minor complaint was the shower was never hot. Seems they are all heated by solar, and best was lukewarm. Overall enjoyed my stay.

What i am unhappy about is being forced to depart the island to be dropped at the airport well before checkin is allowed. At the airport they wont allow you to enter until 3 hrs before your flight. Why force guests to depart 6 hrs prior to your flight?

Perhaps its time to try a diffeent island.
This was our second trip to Bandos, both times we paid for the all inclusive package, this time there was definitely less drinks and cocktails included in the package. So really not All Inclusive!!!

The property and location are wonderful. The food is repetitive and I think my biggest disappointment is the chick staff in reception. Basically the left-hand didn’t know what the right hand was doing or they did not speak English although basically just too lazy to do what was being asked of them?
