Watch out for this deal not as it seems

31 Jan 2026
It is a paradise but don’t be fooled. Not the best island we’ve visited. Booked an all inclusive, but being asked all the time status although we have arm bracelets to prove. Everything has a service charge. Not all things even the basics have a charge. Our full privileges have not been honoured. So be aware of this so called deal not worth it.

Water activities weren’t allowed

31 Jan 2026
Location, hospitality staff and room service people were great and next level quality service was provided. Everyone would greet you and was very polite. However the water sports behaviour and service was absolutely appaling. Just due to this experience would i highly suggest others to stay away from Bandos, Maldives. Over the past 4 days during my stay, i have went both physically and called over the phone to the ‘water sports’ area and EVERY SINGLE TIME, they have declined me stating the weather is bad or seas are rough. Bare in mind i travelled in January and literally just did snorkeling and a male city tour packgage via speed boat, so the weather was infact fine. First couple of days i believed the medium, curly haired, brown skinned guy but when every day he started to give the same excuse, i realised he must have just been lazy, can’t be bothered and/or racist due to me being brown. I asked if parasailing can’t be done what else can we do. He agreed for jet ski (as the weather is too windy for parasailing but jet ski is fine) so on my final day at 10am. I then showed up at 10am, on 30 Jan 2026 and once arriving he said “ohh i need to go somewhere else now and won’t be back before 12pm, sorry we can’t do jet ski. I said it’s my final day here and we agreed to this yesterday and also double confirmed this morning. He said after 12 it is our lunch time as well. Lunch time?!!!!! I was shocked, do you even want any business?? Are you even looking for any solution or looking for a way to fit this in? Is your lunch bigger than a customers activity? On top of that i stayed back by the beach and saw what he did from 10am. He said he needs to go somewhere and close his area, for the next 1.5 hours he did not even move. It must have been a blatant lie that he needed to go elsewhere to another customers booking. Because why am i seeing him there for an hour + Not too mention jet ski would have taken 20-30 minutes anyway. Absolutely pathetic, will be raising this through a formal complaint. Stay away guys!

Paradise Found.

31 Jan 2026
In a nutshell Bandos Island gives pretty much everything you require on a Tropical Island holiday apart from a couple of things. 1/ An easy to understand All Inclusive range ie lots of items arent on the "Restricted List" including room snacks that you would normally assume are AI, we found that if you gobble up all that is presented you will be in for a hefty bill at the end of your sojurn. 2/ The Alla Carte restaurants charge double taxes, the first apparentely for the staff and the second for the envioroment, so on top of quite expensive fare this all adds up to a considerable amount especially if you havent budgeted for this. Otherwise this place is a real gem. We loved it for many reasons, its very beautiful, the staff are a wonderful asset to this island. We stayed in a Premium Beach Villa, 103, it was one of the best rooms we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many tropical hotels over the years, this one is one thae we will remember. Oh and one more credit goes to the chefs especially the ones who made the curries, more than once did I eat Curry for Breakfast Lunch and Dunner. Thank you Bandos All.

Lovely holiday but some reservations....

31 Jan 2026
Just back from ten days at Bandos. To be honest, I think we got lucky with the type of room we had and where we were located on the island. Overall we had a lovely time but I'm not sure we would unreservedly recommend the island. On the plus side, our room was fantastic - we were in 146 which is a two floor duplex with great sea views from the first floor bedroom. It was spotlessly clean and very spacious and comfortable as it is in effect a suite. They call it a Premium Beach Villa and it is definitely the room to go for. We had a lovely beach directly outside the villa which was fairly quiet and we found a nice spot with shade which we hung onto for the whole 10 days (our towels never left our beds so it was like having named beds in the end). We were close to the restaurant Huvan which is a great spot for lunch in the shade or dinner out on the deck which is set out to sea. It was also convenient to grab a drink and take back to our sunbeds. The staff there including Lepcha, Rameez and the chef Prianta were all excellent Snorkelling was generally pretty good - the coral is quite badly bleached in places but some pretty stuff and lots of fish and large numbers of friendly reef sharks. We also saw turtles, conger eels and a sting ray but they were a little more elusive. The Sand Bar by the Main Restaurant was a lovely location for a pre meal aperitif and had live music most nights (although we didn't tend to go for that). The staff are also excellent - very friendly and efficient and seem well trained. On the minus side, I think if we had had any other type of room or different location on the island, our experience would have been very different. There are large areas of the island - especially the Norhern parts - that have little beach and the standard villas are very packed in and look quite dingy. That also means that any beach in those areas appears very crowded. We were surprised that there were a lot of small children on the island which is unusual for the Maldives. Most were well behaved but some loved to make as much noise as possible which, for us as an adult couple, degraded the tranquility of the island. Horses for courses I guess, but something to be aware of when booking. Finally, the food in the main buffet restaurant was average. It was certainly completely edible and there was a decent choice, but it was mostly quite bland and unseasoned so not of the standard that we have had on a number of other islands in the same price and quality ranking. The restaurant, although brand new, was also far too bright which certainly impacted the ambience. I would comment though that our waiter Abu was excellent and very attentive. On balance, I think we got lucky with our room choice and location and had a lovely holiday, but I would advise anyone booking to take the comments above into account.

Bandos Maldives is pure paradise! The reef is stunning, but the staff is even better. Hussain is super! He’s so kind and helpful. Also, a big thanks to Abu, our amazing waiter, for the top-notch service and great conversations. You guys made our holiday unforgettable!

Tripadvisor Overview

Not wishing to rest on the laurels of our existing achievements, Bandos Maldives had in the past year undertaken a major refurbishment project with the intention of transforming ourselves into a hotel that is truly reflective of the times. Careful consideration, however, was given at all times to ensure that the old-world refinement for which the island has a reputation remained uncompromised. Under the project, major facelifts have been given to the front desk, lobby areas, shops, restaurants, and bars and have furthermore commissioned a new swimming pool and additional accommodation facilities all of which perfectly blend with the island's tropical splendor and give visitors a taste of the Maldivian aesthetic.
