The whole property is very tired, the rooms we booked were apparently new but in actual fact they weren’t maybe the bathroom was refurbished 2/3 years ago. Photos are not reality at all. Food quality was extremely low, basic at best and NYE €750 for a buffet for 2 adults is a disgrace, if it were Al Carte dining maybe - in essence it was the same buffet that was available daily with a few additions….then to cap it off the remains were brought out the next day!! Very very poor resort

Good Convenient Choice

a good variety of activities offerred and white sandy beaches and 15 minutes boat ride from Male makes this resort a wonderful place to stay between trips (for us Sri Lanka and Seychelles). We went on night fishing seeing sunset and sunset cruise seeing lots of dolphins. We had half-board and just about right amount of food and varieties to meet all kinds of diet restrictions. Overall room is nice and very comfortable

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!
