Goods: Really friendly staff, great variety in the cuisine, beautiful beach, room was good. It was my honeymoon and they really catered very well to it. A tiny bit unorganised with a few requests but cannot complain as overall experience was great. Transport to and from airport was top notch. Very interactive clubhouse and multiple lounge areas for a change in setting away from the rooms. Also has a Mosque Drawbacks: It is very expensive, the country as a whole prefers to do transactions in US dollars so be careful of this. The excursions and experiences are very pricey but the service is second to none. Would highly recommend going for a full board - all inclusive as this will probably save you a lot more money. All in all - 9/10

First time in Maldives, we chose Bandos for our 10 day stay. Island is beautiful, with picture perfect beaches, very good for snorkeling or diving. We booked standard room which was big with everything u need inside, bathroom is a bit dated, needs some renovation but nothing bad. Food was delicious, I tried every curry and loved it all. Staff very friendly and polite. Overall we had great holiday and definitely recommend Bandos. I gave 4 stars for cleaning only because i never seen floors being mopped in our 10 day stay. Not the cleaners fault I assume they were told not to mop the floors by management. Only negative thing we experienced was at arrival, we travelled across the world to maldives, haven't slept 22 hours, tired and hungry we arrived at 9am unfortunately we were told that we can not have breakfast and our meal package starts from evening meal, which was at 7pm. No snacks in the room either. First time we were refused food by a hotel on arrival. Not nice. Overall great stay.

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.

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?
