I really like the bathroom in the room we stayed in, really spacious.
United Arab EmiratesWe loved our stay at Bandos! From The moment we arrived, we felt very welcomed and at home. The property is absolutely gorgeous, and the attention to detail is on point. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, catering to the guests’ every need. There was a delicious variety of food and entertainment every night. Our room was upgraded to a beach villa, and we absolutely loved the outdoor Jacuzzi! Suraj from the pool bar was an excellent bartender, and Vikram from Huvan (where we watched a gorgeous sunset every night) was an awesome server. I loved my super relaxing aromatherapy massage with Ani from the lovely Orchid spa. We would highly recommend this resort to our friends, and we hope to return again in the near future!
United States of AmericaThe food is amazing, most of the staff were frindly, the island is very near Male so i found it very easy to take the kids as i have twins 18 months, the resort is family friendly and the beach is good.
BahrainEverything was just great! The pace was very cozy. Simple yet very pleasant and The staff was very friendly and accommodating! The rooms were spacious (we stayed in a beach villa). Snorkeling was great and no need for a boat to access some really beautiful sites. Don’t miss the sunset drinks at the Huvan bar.
United Arab EmiratesNice cosy setting, loved the small coves and beaches
United Arab EmiratesThe room was lovely and atoll is a beautiful landscaped for a shaded stroll around the atoll when you want a break from the beach. The dive staff and facility is very nice but only a limited number of dives available because not really a dive destination. The ease of getting my RT PCR for return to the US was amazing . Their staff made an appointment and came to my room first thing the morning before departure and had the report which they printed for me by my evening meal. The transfer to and from the airport by motor boat were also great. The staff arranged for me to have a porter for my departure flight which was most helpful with all of the paperwork and officials that you have to see to exit with covid.
United States of AmericaIt has multiple different areas on the beach with various privacy options . The staff are friendly and welcoming. The communication was so good during the staff through what’s app to keep us updated on the program for the day and our times of trips or PCR test
United Arab EmiratesEverything was wonderful.....service to food and drinks.
