In a very simple word stay at Bandos was Excellent. You will get the best packages here.it’s very near to male the capital city of Maldives. The mode of transportation will be resort speed boat which is very convenient to book with resort reservations Team . You can book water activities there and it’s really worth the money . There are several outlets for food And they serve really good food I really want to thank Chef Ajay Singh , the food he prepares is really outstanding we have tasted his food throughout our stay and it’s 10 on 10 . Soo please try to meet Chef Ajay Singh. Once again thanks to Chef Ajay for the delicious food and hospitality Will surely visit Bandos soon❤️
Hospitality and cooperative staff, Indian food was good above my expectation all thanx to chef Mr. Ajay, Many different events regularly timely communication for all the updates from resort management team
Well what can I say about Bandos! The most beautiful island, it was perfect in so many ways from the ease of the speed boat transfer from the airport, the ease of check in as you arrived, the what's app message service they use to send all hotel details (meal times, all inclusive details, entertainment etc) The staff are all super friendly and can not do enough for you special mention to our waiter in the gallery restaurant Tanuj and Afrah in sea breeze such lovely people. The all inclusive package was definitely worth the money as drinks are so expensive if you didn't have it, not all drinks are included but everything you would want plenty of cocktails and house spirits, beers, wines. The food in the all inclusive resturant was always fine can always fine something to eat, and nearly always curry but not too spicy which suites me. We did do a special theme night called bbq grill it was definitely worth paying the extra for this if you Like meat or seafood and the setting is beautiful as the tables are candle lit on the beach. The snorkeling is amazing I have snorkeled thr barrier reef in Australia and Mexico and enjoyed this just as much the best bit about it is you just get off your sun bed and walk out into the sea no boat trip needed! We saw sharks, turtles, rays and all kinds of fish. Thank you bandos you were amazing!! …
I will highlight some of the good feelings at Bandos Maldives as follows: 1. Once we reached Bandos, a welcome drink along with a refreshing towel. 2. Mr. Sultan interacted with us politely and talked about an alternative better option for staying 4 days over there, which was great for us to stay at Superior Villa. 3. We were astonished by the variation of items available for breakfast/lunch/dinner at Gallery restaurant every day. Really it's an exceptional experience for us. Further, Rakesh Goli and Tohoa served us efficiently as and when it was required. 4. A dinner table was arranged for our marriage anniversary celebration in Gallery Restuarant along with a cake, which was really awesome. 5. We also enjoyed the musical night performed by Ms Grace and the DJ night.
Very good resort with very good service Rooms were near an The restaurant has amazing food from all over the. But how much you eat other you will always look for Indian food, thanks we found Chef Ajay Singh who prepared delicious Indian food at every meal atleast 4
It’s a worst resort I seen in my life. Poor services. Staff was so rude . If you raise any concern they were laughing on your face.I went with my four friends we were staying in Malahini kundas but photos of Bandos resorts attract us so visited for 1 day. Staff was not at all cooperative we visited for full day but in just 1 hrs we called our speed boat and requested them to pick us. Don’t plan to visit this resort
Bandos Island was the best decision we made since everything was perfect, The food staff, ambiance everything was amazing. Especially the staff who took care of us whole heartedly. Especially Ranju and danta from sandbar. Ranju made sure we were looked after.
A very beautiful place and a wonderful hotel, especially the food had a distinctive taste and the waiter was very helpful, but there is a simple note, which is the lack of cooperation of the staff in extending the check-out time, as the boat’s arrival time is 5 o’clock, so it was better to delay the check-out a little late instead of sitting in the reception for two hours or more And they should be flexible like other hotels in other islands.. Really very thankful for cooker Ajay sing for magnificent food 🙏🙏🙏
Chefs are very accomodating and amazing food. Chef Ajay went out of the way and served what was not in the menu either. Rooms were comfortable. Staff is friendly. Overall it was a pleasant experience and highly recommended for the couples.
I'll start with the pros: Nice pool Very good spa Great kids club Cons: The hotel is not nice at all, very run down and it is NOT all inclusive, even if you pay all inclusive. Don't be fooled. We arrived at the hotel and were told that we were being given an upgrade so we said great and then they said just for one night so I declined the upgrade because we have a young child and I didn't want to move all the bags again but then were told that actually they overbooked and our original villa was not available, which really annoyed me as I didn't want the upgrade and I don't like lies. We went to our "upgrade" which wasn't really an upgrade, just a bigger room but awful location. While we were waiting to check in, the hotel showed us how everything works. This is not all inclusive, I have stayed at all inclusive resorts. They are trying to make money out of everything here. I have been to nicer hotels in Europe, with nicer food for half the price. The main restaurant which is a buffet is free (food very average), the rest of the restaurants you have to pay for. They will also try and push you to buy cocktails that cost $15 and bottles of wine, where you get a discount. It's an absolute farce. The food gave us all bad stomachs the first few days, whether change of diet or the food itself I can't say. Back to our so-called upgrade, after having to take the "upgrade", we then get a message saying they want us out of the room at 9am the next day, after only getting in the room the night before around 6. You can imagine how well that went down, with a young child. I told them no we would be out of the room later that afternoon and they said they need the room, to which I told them that was not my problem, it's theirs. We left the room at 2pm and got to our much nicer and better located garden villa. You can also only charge to the room, which is seriously annoying as I had cash and would have made life easier. Our aircon also was leaking and all over our bags when we came back one evening and when we rung reception and told them, no apologies, they just said "oh it's leaking again", so obviously a regular occurrence and no regard for our belongings. The first few days, our rooms were always left short of stuff and we had to keep ringing housekeeping, for towels and mugs. Internet is terrible, really slow especially at the main places and does not work at all in the restaurant. I definitely would not come back here, I've been to much nicer places and cheaper in Europe. All in all our trip cost $7000+. Completely not worth the money. …
