We stayed nights at Bandos then went to another resort for 6 nights. Bandos is great value. We stayed in the Premium Beach Villa. Definitely would pick that room again, IMO the water Villa is not worth the money. We also paid for the All Inclusive option, which was absolutely worth the money. Pros: amazing snorkelling from beach, great for families, good value. Cons: Lacks the luxury that you find in the Maldives. Food/Drinks quality was just average. Bandos was a perfect addition so we could stay longer in the Maldives without break the bank account. However, if we spent the whole time at Bandos, then we would’ve disappointed (because it’s hard not compare resorts).

Stayed 6 days in Sunset villa on halfboard. It is a shaded 5mins stroll to Gallery Restaurant for daily breakfast and dinner. 3mins stroll along the beach to Dive centre. Highly recommended. Breakfast and dinner were buffet-style and refill was always fast. We only ate lunch at Huvan, which is behind the dive centre, facing the beach. Lobster, prawns and calamari were good. Service staff always polite and friendly. Villa was spacious witn unblocked sea view. Spotted a dolphin one afternoon. At night, there are lights facing the water below so we watched pufferfishws, stingrays and fishes. And many stars above.

Great hotel staff. Deluxe beachfront unit was 100 yards from the beach and no view. If you want a partial, you should book the premium. Swimming was marginal as water was 2 feet to 5 feet deep so all the coral is bleached and a low tide could not swim. We thought we were gonna get better than this is more a site issue than a staff hotel issue
