Best Bandos Hotels

Location is perfect. 15 minutes speedboat means get to the bed soon after long exhausting flights. Bandos is not luxurious while well worthy for people like me who needs a short getaway, escapes from a fixed 24/7 place and looks for even a little difference. It is adequate for snorkeling lovers who want to see colorful fishes, nursing sharks, eaglerays, and turtles

the island is small but we we see variety of fish ,small shark, Manta Ray, we went snorkeling along the trench, fish groups there! despite the coral are dead, the ocean is beatiful, relatively clean and limpid; people there friendly, service good and efficient, breakfust also delivious and sorts covers a wide range of food; sedfood is seldom; others are very good, also the pizza very tasty. the island is suit for me since it is my first time come to maldives, when we come for annual leave within Christmas and New year days; the hotel arrange us at very calm place, I even saw the captain of an airplane in uniform one day night for 1day stay at my neighbor next door; I like Malahini very much! the lovely people , the seashore view, the sky when at night the twlinking stars so near when you look up. i will be back beatiful Maldives!

It takes 20 minutes by speedboat from Male. The island is clean and there are no bugs. The ratio of Westerners to Asians is about half and half, there are many elderly couples, and it is very quiet. Everyone greets each other when they pass by, which was nice. There are delicious curries, pastas, and meats that suit Japanese tastes. If you snorkel from the villa, it is so deep that you can't even touch the water, and the waves are so strong that you get seasick. There are hardly any fish, so I think the pool is more relaxing. It was a bit disappointing that you can see other islands and buildings from the island. It can't be helped since it's close to Male. But I think this price is reasonable for an all-inclusive resort in the Maldives. The cleaning staff was also very kind and unobtrusive, coming twice a day to clean up the place. The host contacted us on our last day even though it was a day off, and was very responsible and kind, so we had a comfortable stay.

The resort and amenities are excellent but a few things were terribly wrong. Being located in the middle of the ocean and constantly exposed to the prevailing weather, one would have thought that the building standards would be up to scratch but sadly they are not. During strong wind and rain, our room flooded. Water entered under doors, around windows and through the ceiling . The curtains, coach and floating flooring were drenched. This is not a new problem as the floating floor boards were deteriorated and loose from this happening regularly.We were moved to another room but still had to endure problems with continuous internet and power outages, fridge and lighting issues. For a reasonably new resort it is a thumbs down for the reasons noted. No offers from management for our great inconvenience and wet belongings!

We did the blue canna for 4 nights. We decided to have a water villa. The sea view of the room is invincible. This island beach is worthy of Grade A. The sand is very fine and white. It is very comfortable to step on. The waves are a bit big. Snorkeling needs water better. , There are fishes under the water house, and small sharks, not aggressive! The breakfast is very rich, there are free drinks, and the number of dinners is also enough. Western style, the taste may not be liked by the Chinese. Generally speaking, a very cost-effective resort island

Great hotel Wonderful facilities Great food Only downside is that it’s close to the airport and you can hear the planes taking off But it’s also pretty cool to see planes taking off

I was very happy during my stay at Sheraton Full Moon Maldives. It was my first time in the Maldives and was very impressed from the moment I stepped out of the transfer speedboat to the hotel. I got upgraded to the water villa and the service was beyond unexpected. We had dinner at Sea Salt on the first night and it was incrsdible amazing. I would really reccommend the place to those who are looking for the right place to stay in the Maldives.

The good and the not-so-good: Good: very close to the airport, big island (bigger than many other resort islands in the Mals), very good for snorkeling (you will see lots of fish, and even turtles ), services are great. Lots of land & water activities eg. Tennis, badminton, table tennis, kayak. You will have a host who will look after you during your stay. The not-so-good: some rooms may have out of date furniture, food could be boring if you stay there long time. Airport transfer is expensive and you don’t have any other options but use it. The must try: Water villa, Snorkelling around the island, their Stingray snorkeling tour

The weather is too bad and the hotel water house is good. The sand house is generally very rusty and not delicate. The hotel environment is not recommended because there are too many boats nearby and you can see the city of Male without the feeling of a water island and the land is too close at night Looking around, the lighting of the building in the distance is very poor. If the hotel on the four islands of Madai is the worst environment

Clean, spacious and exceeded our expectations. Apartments complete with kitchen area with water boiler, stove and microwave. 6 friends and 6 bedder ontop of a living room and dining table
