This is my second time in Bandos it’s just 20 min by boat from airport it’s nice for fast vacation i stayed just 2 night
United Arab EmiratesProperty was beautiful! Loved our stay, especially hanging out on the beach and in the water. Snorkeling was amazing, and nothing ever felt crowded.
United States of AmericaThe stuff was very friendly, they did everything to make out stay pleasant and took into consideration my baby allergies. The buffet was delicious and very diverse. Clean and specious room, nice beach with an amazing marine life.
GermanyWe chose Bandos for the house reef, planning to dive from a cheaper base (Maafushi). We were not disappointed! Apart from the coral which is largely clumps (from tourists walking on it?) the reef was outstanding. We regularly saw turtles - up to five in a morning - various rays including a mobula (like a small manta). Early morning seemed best, but anytime there were simply masses of fish. The hotel itself was fabulous - everything we'd wished for. However, another time we'd probably just have bed and breakfast to try the various restaurants. Nothing wrong with the Gallery which you're locked in to, but the price difference would be negligible and the others looked fabulous.
United KingdomNot only nature is impressive and house reef was amazing, but the best value was added by the staff. From the welcome to the goodbye, we were taken care of in any aspect. Ms Marvel at the gallery restaurant made sure that regardless severe food allergies, my partner could enjoy local and delicious meals with the expertise of the head chef of the gallery. Mr. Tanuj, waiter of the gallery, was always one step ahead to take care of us. Mr Ajay, one of the chefs, was personally making sure I could try all the Indian delicacies and suggesting what to try. We could mention a lot of other staff members as every single one of them was keen to make our experience truly unforgettable.
