Bandos Maldives not only met but exceeded our expectations. Getting there and checking in was seamless, our accommodation was extremely clean, and we much preferred this tropical vibe to the modern European, minimalist style found at some other resorts. We had read some criticism online about the food, but we can't confirm any of it, even the Gallery restaurant offered excellent quality and variety, plus I had the chance to enjoy a fantastic steak at one of the other restaurants. The marine life was amazing; after just half a minute of swimming, we were already seeing sharks and other beautiful fish. But the real highlight was the staff, who were naturally warm and friendly. This is the kind of luxury that is unfortunately getting harder and harder to find in Europe.
There was no plug adapter in our room, which I found surprising since our friends and family traveling with us had them in their rooms. It wasn't a problem for us because we brought our own, but it might be worth aiming for consistency here.

What an amazing place Bandos is. We absolutely loved our holiday there, staying in a Premium Beach Villa which was very luxurious and right on the beach. The outdoor bathroom is beautiful and so well appointed - just loved having a shower underneath the coconut palms. The housekeeping staff are great and they change the towels twice a day - we always had enough towels - thankyou! The staff in general are so friendly and helpful and the waiting staff in the restaurant outstanding. The food was delicious with a huge selection every day - a highlight of the trip. Being vegetarian/pescatarian there was plenty of food on offer too. We are keen snorkellers and the house reef did not disappoint. We snorkelled using the current to drift us from the dive shop area down towards the marina each day, seeing an amazing array of sea life. This is my 4th trip to the Maldives, going to different islands each time and am happy to say the sea life at Bandos is outstanding. On one of the days we took a boat trip to see the nurse sharks and rays which was fantastic. We were also given a tour of the island on the electric cart by a very friendly member of staff - showing us behind the scenes kitchen gardens which was very interesting. We cannot wait to visit Bandos again!
Nothing - loved it all.

Easy to access from the airport. The arrival was fast. The hotel is well renovated and clean. The snorkel is good. I asked for early check in, they didn't provide it. Same with the late check out, they didn't gave any solution and you have to pay if you want to eat or drink until you go to airport. Despite of being very big, we didn't find queues of people at the buffet
Is not that I didn't like it, is more that the price is not worth what you receive. The hotel is nice, well renovated. The water villa is not what we expected. The room is big and confortable, but there is no privacy because people from everywhere can swimm in front of you and you can have the bad luck of having a family yelling just in the next villa...Plains and boats ar passing all the time making too much noise. When you call to the room service asking for ice, they reply like if they were annoyed. The replacement of the minibar was missing and I had to complain twice. We have to claim clean beach/pool towels and the cleaner forgot a spray with the mop in our terrace. When you pay for the best accommodation in the place and the most expensive, you spect everything perfect.The buffet lacked variety with all inclusive you can't have any other option. We paid for a sunset water villa with pool but the sunset was not there, it was on the right side...
