On arrival we were taken to our room by buggy, which at first seemed lovely. However our driver gave us a tour past shabbiest parts of the island, which only added to our disappointment when we saw our delux room … which was dark and grim. Rather than ruin our stay, I decided to lay out additional cost to upgrade our room to one on the other side of the island, and that’s when things started to look up.

Our stay in Bandos couldn’t have been better. We stayed in a Superior Beach Villa, 1 minute walk from the beach. Room was very clean and serviced every morning whilst we were at breakfast. We went all inclusive and were very happy with what was included and what wasn’t. Food choices from the buffet were excellent and the restaurant staff were great. As we had a late return flight we booked a massage at the spa and spent a couple of hours before and after relaxing on the sun beds and shower before departure. Risma and Ploy gave us a great massage. We definitely will be back to Bandos - it’s just a matter of saving up!!!!

Not great experience

This was our first time in the Maldives, and we only stayed at Bandos. We've been to most of the Carribean and USV Islands, Mauritius, and Sri Lanka, so we are aware of island prices and economics. But this place felt like they were nickle and diming us every chance they got. Fresh juice? $18-20. Cappuccino with breakfast? Extra. Kids snorkeling mask at the gift shop? $85. Pool table that nobody is using? $6/30 mins. But the worst of it was the fact that they would not give us a late checkout for 3 hours even though we were willing to pay for it. We had a 25 hour flight ahead of us, and with two small kids - a late checkout would've been very helpful. We checked on their website - and there were plently of rooms available. We went to the front desk the day before, but they told us to come back after 8pm because they were still taking reservations. After 8pm, they said the reservation manager had left for the day. The next morning, they simply refused to help us even though we offered to pay $300 for the 3 hours - it was almost as if helping us would hurt them. Mind you, plently of rooms still available on their website for $700 that night. They said their website was wrong, and that they were having system issues, but actually, no room was available. Considering we paid $1000/night for 5 days, it just felt like they could've helped, but actively didn't. Anyways, we were told there are plently of nice places in the Maldives, so we will go back. But probably not to Bandos.

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
