Me and my family have just returned from a weeks stay with you. I would just like to thank all the staff who made our visit fantastic. I would especially like to thank Mahir from the pool bar, he offered exeptional service and really looked after the children. My son is still talking about his milks
hakes. We will be returning to Bandos in the near future ( finger crossed) Many thanks once again.

The Maldives are fantastic, and Bandos is a great place to enjoy them at. That nervous feeling you get when stepping off the plane at a new destination ("did we really make the right choice") all but vanished in the speedboat from the airport, never to return. Good lodging, great food and an in-hous
e reef to leave nothing to wish for.. drifting down the current along the drop-off is just spectacular: table and finger corals, fish in abundance, the odd little shark and if you're lucky,(as we were) sea-turtles. And that's just snorkeling..
Good facilities and an easy-going ambience just added to the experience. ..read more

We are going back to Bandos on December 27th 2009 to celebrate the new year once again
This will be our 3rd visit to Bandos
We stay in the standard villas close to the dive centre which suits us fine we are close to the beach,the sundowner bar and a short walk to the dining room to work up an apetit
e
We enjoy the entertainment and the food is excellent the staff are all really friendly and we have got to know them over the past 3 years
We snorkel a lot and the house reef is really great you only have to swim out 50mtrs and you are at the reef the currents are not strong thankfully as I am not the greatest of swimmers but I love going up and down the reef snorkelling and I do feel safe
My wife went to the spa and had a great massage and she is looking forward to another visit. The food in the sundowner bar is excellent and the staff are really friendly, nice to have a cocktail and watch sundown around 18.10hrs then we go for dinner then over to the Sand Bar for a few drinks and see what entertainments on they have really good live bands 2-3 times a week and karaoke twice a week and of course the famous crab racing which at first I did not like but last year I got involved and really enjoyed it. The new years eve gala dinner is something else the food is plentiful and of high standard staff are great.
We have been to 4 other resorts in the Maldives and this will be our 3rd year at Bandos we love it. I can recommend it for a lovely peaceful holiday with no shops to worry about and put on a few pounds. ..read more

We stayed for 2 weeks over last Christmas, and had an amazing time. The beaches were beautiful and snorkeling in the house-reef surpassed any expectations I had. My husband and I qualified as Divers at Bandos, and we found the instructors very experienced, patient and encouraging. My kids ages 7 & 9
could not get enough of the snorkeling!!! The food was fine. Both my kids are very fussy eaters but there was enough choice of food for them to select from. The kids' club did come in very handy, for when my husband and I wanted to do an occasional dive together. Before getting to Bandos, we were a bit concerned when we saw the weather forecasts; it stated rain almost every day! But when we got there, out of the 2 weeks we stayed there, it rained on 4 separate days, and each time for 1-2 hours and then sun would come out again. There were a few times when it rained over-night but that didn't concern us! Yes, we have booked to return next year and we can't wait!!!! ..read more

Came back from Bandos 3 days ago it was me and my wifes honeymoon and it was absolutly amazing, we couldnt ask for anything more, it was pure paradise, from the amazingly friendly staff to the amazing food. We was also asked to do a photo shoot for the island as they are updating photos for there we
bsite and advertising which we loved and cannot wait to see this was done at the kudabandos island which they do watersports from and is also an amazing island, my wife had an amazing massage at the spa whilst I did some diving around the house reef and went on an excursion, diving and snorkelling around the house reef is amazing a very healthy reef which is good to see, plenty to see even black tip sharks, which my wife was worried about before we went but they do not bother you in the slightest and she was snorkelling everyday, a great oppertunity to tell people you have swam with sharks in the wild. Night fishing and BBQ is recommended great excursion whilst the dolphin cruise took us to see at least 600 dolphins playing in the wild was amazing, we stayed in a standard room which was very good, night entertainment is varied and of high standard was excellent. All in all would rate it more than 5 stars if possible highly recommended. ..read more
