Everything was amazing from super clean rooms to amazing food to friendly staff.
The overwater bungalow was incredible! Abu at the gallery and Guru at the pool bar were extraordinary. I went for my honeymoon and we had the best time!
Small private island entirely owned by the hotel. Good restaurants and beach bar.
Disappointed by the Male City Tour; not worth it, the guide (not employed by hotel) did not really have a planned itinerary.
Check in and check out were spot on. Excellent communication about these arrangements
First time in Maldives and stayed at Bandos was all lovely particularly the service given to use during are meals in the Gallery Rssturant by Thomas who was attentive to our every need
Wonderful chance to see the sunset every evening with happy hour during this time
We had HB with breakfast & dinner
Lovely beech front superior room the sea is beautiful and wonderful massage available for additional cost
Was only for 1 night before a dive trip but was a really nice experience, good service, large comfortable rooms. And really enjoyable morning reef dive..

We did our honeymoon here, it’s a fantastic place, a natural island with typical food and awesome staff, we’ll come back for sure
We had a wonderful stay at Bandos. The staff were very welcoming and polite. The room was a good size with plenty of light. The beach was amazing. Great place to snorkel. Would definitely recommend.
We had a really really nice time in this Hotel
I have to mention the the extra effort and care the staff make towards the guests to make their stay a great experience
Guru make great cocktails
Only thing to mentions and need to improve is the communication skills of the reception staff and they need to reply the emails promptly when there is a query about the bookings etc
It was an amazing stay: a highly maintained two-storied villa, a secluded (almost private) beach, a wide variety of ocean creatures and unforgettable sunsets.
Excellent location, staff and service. Special call outs to Swapan and Thoha in the restaurant, Habib on room service and Marvel on front desk. Vey enjoyable stay
