A short transfer from the airport., Bandos is a decent sized island with facilities such as a gym, club room, spa and water sports and a choice a restaurants to eat. The staff are super helpful
United Kingdomsuper friendly stuff, and very close to the airport via a speedboat transfer. Our check-in experience was very smooth as they could get us to our room at around 10am. Food options were ok - good value for money. We liked very cosy and comfortable sunbeds and hammocks under the shadow of palm and coconut trees. We also enjoyed snorkelling and swimming. Each evening around 6:30-7pm, they feed sea animals so you can see many stingrays, baby sharks, etc. We’d also recommend watching sunset in Wuhan.
United KingdomGood standard room facing the beach, very complete breakfast, amazing coral reef, plenty of activities to do, beautiful pool
SpainWe absolutely made the right choice in picking the Bandos. The resort was beautifully with views we stayed in room facing the ocean. The services, the drinks, the foods everything is perfect.

QatarThe staff was always smiley and kind. We had a nice tour around the facilities on the first and the lady was very helpful.Everyone makes you feel comfortable and welcome.
GreeceWe stayed here for our honeymoon for a few days and had a great time, the beaches are amazing and pretty private. The staff here were wonderful, so friendly and helpful especially Swapan and Zures in the restaurant who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We would definitely return.
United KingdomEverything was perfect but I would highlight the superb treatment from Bandos staff. They were really nice and took good care of us every moment. From the people in the restaurants (specially Suresh from the Gallery restaurant, you're simply the BEST!!) To the Orchid Spa and Bars.
SpainThe pictures matched the reality exactly. The staff were friendly, the buffet had a great variety every day. The room was spacious but decor could be updated.
