Top Bandos Island Hotel Reviews

Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives

10/10 Excellent

"This island is perfect for family with kids. They have kids swim pool, kids water park, kids beach, out door playground, in door game room, in door kids activity room, kids spa, so kids can do many things there. Staffs are very nice and helpful. They provide golf cars as transportation on the island, so kids do not need to walk. Room is clear, in room dinning is good. Foods in 2 restaurants are good, especially the Italian. Buffet is about so so, average level. We stayed first couple days in a sunset pool suite, that's very save for young kids. My 6-year-old son can stand up in ocean from our back balcony stairs. Therefore, it's very safe when he's snorkeling. Last 2 days, we have chance to upgrade to sunrise pool suite. Perfect view! It's amazing! Ocean is much deeper, so there is more bigger fish, even stingray. But, I need to pay more attention with my younger one. Strongly recommend for family with kids. Very nice hotel!"

"Hotel is very outdated but staff are extremely helpful & polite & free airport shuttle a bonus. Room was comfortable but was woken up early hours to loud chanting over PA system. No disrespect but not the best location for a hotel. Good for just an overnight stay,"

Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time from landing at the airport. Well organised pickup and drop off service. On reaching the resort we were received by friendly host Laisha who took us on a tour of the property. Very polite and well spoken she gave us a detailed description of the amenities and services. The property is very well maintained considering its one of the first resorts in Maldives.Ranjith our house keeper was very meticulous, attended twice a day and replaced towels and water bottles. We had three elderly people and the buggy service was usually prompt. The catering Somnath and the rest were outstanding with live music which added to our wonderful experience. The waiters Tharun,Omkar, Salman were outstanding in their service. They made it a very memorable experience.Thank you🙏"

dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at dusitD2 Feydhoo Maldives exceeded every expectation. The location alone is a game-changer — just a 7-minute speedboat transfer from the airport, so you’re sipping a welcome drink on a private island before you’ve even had time to get travel-weary. The overwater villa was stunning: spacious, beautifully appointed, with unobstructed ocean views and gorgeous sunsets right from the deck. Soi, the Thai restaurant, was a standout — authentic flavors in a gorgeous oceanfront setting, and the rest of the dining lineup (Mediterranean, the overwater Chef’s Table) kept every meal interesting. Snorkeling and diving around Feydhoo Wall and the house reef were excellent, and the Namm Spa treatments were some of the best we’ve had. Staff throughout the resort were warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making the"

"Overall, everything was nice but expensive they need to make the prices pretty affordable, and the sad thing was when I went there most stuff was not available. I wanted to jet ski, but it was broken example and before I win, I told him I’m coming for honeymoon doing decorations and they didn’t do it sothen I had to ask them to do me a honeymoon decorations they did it on the fifth night"
