The manager of "island of hospitality should learn some intensive lesson of basic hospitality from their srilankan neighbors, or saudian or egyptian brother. First time in Maldives and very disapointed, never again (I will never know if it just wrong place at wrong time). Is there more place on earth that may give more than this "island of hospitality" Exept... More

We spent 4 nights on Kaafu Atoll, which is 30min away from the Male Ibrahim Nasir Airport by speed boat. The Bandos Resort is located on a lovely island with gorgeous beaches and we left wanting to return to the Maldives soon. I don't think I would return to this specific resort again but I did enjoy the Maldives tremendously.... More

We had a lovely two week stay on Bandos Island. We stayed in a standard room which was clean and more than adequate for us, comfortable bed and although the room did look a little tired and in need of some decorating it was a comfortable stay. The best thing about staying in the standard rooms is the location -... More

Yet again we visited Bandos for 2 weeks of visiting family and friends and getting some more diving in crystal clear warm waters. Our journey was as normal, flights via Dubai which were uneventful, and on arrival we were met by senior management, taken into the airconditioned VIP room where our cards were already completed, just needing a signature.

As this was our third visit to the Maldives we had a certain level of expectation regarding Bandos. Knowledge of this resort not being at the top-end of the list prepared us someway for what to expect. However, despite this prior knowledge, we were disappointed with what Bandos gave us. From landing in Male to being in the bar waiting... More

We spent 7 days at Bandos in early May, our second stay on this island. Although it rained almost the entire time, we had yet again another amazing holiday on Bandos. Our main reasons for choosing to return to Bandos is the beautiful house reef, and relaxed atmosphere. The reef has definitely started regenerating in the last few years, and... More

This hotel took only 20 mins from airport. Hotel quite cheap and valued. Coral is very nice and perfect. Shark just swim here and there for show off. Room quite big but a bit old. Loads of buffet both breakfast and dinner.

Just returned from 7 days in Bandos (May 12-18). We had rain for the first 3 days, good weather the rest of the time. This was my 2nd time at Bandos, I would recommend it! Bandos has a genuine tropical island feel, great place to forget the day-to-day stress and just relax. Definitely not a luxury resort but service is... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Not wishing to rest on the laurels of our existing achievements, Bandos had in the past year undertaken a major refurbishment project with the intention of transforming ourselves into a hotel that is truly reflective of the times. Careful consideration however, was given at all times to ensure that the old-world refinement for which the island has a reputation remained uncompromised. Under the project, major facelifts have been given to the front desk, lobby areas, shops, restaurants and bars and have furthermore commissioned a new swimming pool and additional accommodation facilities all of which perfectly blend with the island’s tropical splendour and give visitors a taste of the Maldivian aesthetic. ... more   less
