The hotel

Bandos Maldives is a perfect setting for a romantic getaway or two weeks of heaven away from the pressures of everyday life. This haven of tranquillity is nestled in lush green vegetation around its own lagoon, with white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters. For those looking for a more active holiday, there's plenty to do. The resort has a state-of-the-art sports complex, a swimming pool and wading pool for children, and a water sports centre. The PADI dive centre, run by a team of experienced instructors, offers the chance to view sharks, rays and turtles in their natural habitat. The reef at Bandos is one of the best in the North Malé Atoll and you'll also have access to over 40 different dive locations further afield. With warm, attentive service and a choice of rooms and villas, we're pretty sure you won't want to leave.

So disappointing an all inclusive but is not that at all! One main restaurant which is very hot with no air conditioning so unbearable to eat. Too many rules and regulations re drinks bar opening/closing times plus only certain cocktails/ drinks. Milkshakes or anything that needs blending an extra cost. The beach bar will only serve certain drinks but whoa be tide you asking for a G&T on the beach not allowed but you can have a glass bottle of water! The beach was lovely but again not tidied every day so bottles left over night. We ate in all the restaurants but found the Grill the best for food service and air conditioning but yet again you have to pay with a 40% reduction however it was still $150 for three people. The room was ok nothing special (superior beach front) but the wildlife moving around the bathroom was not inviting. The mini bar was a joke and I certainly was not going to pay for a mars bar! We all went for afternoon tea in the sea breeze only to find the plastic wrapper inside the sandwich NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT IN AN ALL INCLUSIVE HOTEL! For me the constant signing for anything you had was excessive especially when you are wearing a tag denoting you are an AI guess. The only plus side was the snorkelling which we all enjoyed. I certainly would not be returning not a patch on Barbados. Read less

Lush greenery, white sandy beaches, and turquoise blue sea is the first thing we noticed when we arrived. The property is beautifully landscaped with plenty of facilities for guests . Our 4 year old loved the kokko Club( kids club) with an amazing play area outside. We went on mothers Day, and they had a whole day of activities planned, which was a nice surprise. The premium beach villas were really nicely designed with private jacuzzi and bedroom on upper floor which was nice and private. Evening entertainment was also really good with local culture show. With 4 dining options, an incredible spa and one of the best pools around the resort is a true island paradise. We can't wait to go back. Special thanks to Nooree for arranging a special surprise for our family members who just turned 50. Thank you! Read less

Beautiful island, lovely staff, especially Guru with his amazing cocktails, Marvel with her friendly welcome each day and Hasan going above and beyond with his pure excitement for every excursion and making it special. This destination is perfect for couples to escape not just those on a honeymoon. Would definitely return here :)
