Only minor area for complaint was safety and privacy: Need an internal rail around the water bungalow walkways, dangerous for kids and drunks. Another screen down the side of water bungalows, so your neighbours can not look in would be nice. Our great whaleshark boat tour was overloaded and breached boat safety, 1 of the non paying hotel staff should have stepped down, rather than overload a boat safety guidelines. ##### Shaun Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alessandro Sep 20, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Not enough swimming space. The island is covered with corral reefs so if you like snorkeling well your in heaven. If you want to spend your time in the water well very limited.

Upon learning this the team at Sandies Bathala then did everything they possibly could to make sure the remainder of our stay was incredible and it was! We'll have memories to cherish for a lifetime. The food is delicious and varied. The staff are kind, warm and attentive. The island's features really well thought out, eco friendly and well maintained. The coral reef is awesome and the ability to go snorkeling directly from your villa is a highlight. We stayed on the beachfront and in an overwater villa and they were both great! We'd go again on a heartbeat.

My stay at this stunning Maldives resort was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the fantastic team made us feel welcome and ensured our experience was unforgettable. The resort offers great activities and affordable excursions, with highlights including incredible snorkeling right off the island. We encountered a vibrant array of marine life including turtles, sharks, angel rays, and beautifully reconstructed coral reefs. Dining at the resort was a delightful experience, with high-quality food that catered to various tastes. Each meal was a culinary adventure, showcasing the best of local and international cuisines. if I had to mention a couple of areas for improvement. I would suggest adding fans at the pool table area to enhance comfort. Additionally, while the food was outstanding, the desserts tended to be overly sweet. A bit more balance in the sweetness would elevate the dining experience to perfection. Despite these minor points, our stay was magical. The natural beauty, attentive staff, and variety of activities made it a perfect getaway. Thank you for an amazing time in this little piece of paradise! ##### Jean-Michel Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marino Dec 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Sandies Bathala was nothing short of a dreamy escape to paradise! From the moment I set foot on the pristine sands to the last breathtaking sunset, every moment was sheer bliss. The resort's tranquil atmosphere and stunning surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The peaceful ambiance and gentle ocean breeze instantly melted away any stress. Exploring the vibrant underwater world was an absolute highlight. The snorkeling was incredible, and the crystal-clear waters allowed me to witness an array of tropical fish and marine life, creating unforgettable memories. I cannot commend the staff enough for their warmth, hospitality, and attentiveness throughout our stay. Special thanks to Chef Mahinda, Sous Chef Amith, Zahuraan, Ibrahim Rasheed, Gassey, Chanaka, Ibrahim Mohamed, Rakesh, Jotheeswaran, Maduranga, Jagath, Shree, Thunaj, Hassan, our housekeeper Ahmed and our lovely animation crew Vincenzo and Michela were outstanding. The staff here really played a part at making our stay exceptionally memorable. The resort's amenities were exceptional, catering to every need. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Sandies Bathala for creating an unforgettable getaway filled with relaxation, adventure, and exceptional service. The three amigos are already planning our return and eagerly anticipating our next visit to this slice of paradise! ##### Marino Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodrigo Sep 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a great property. Period. It is an island-hotel with 70 rooms only. When I think about all-inclusives, I generally categorize them in 3 big groups: 1. Party all day. Adults only, fun and drinks happening all day long. Plenty of eating options. 2. Family oriented. Games, a lot of kids around. Many pools, eating options. 3. Quiet. Can be family or adults, but it means relaxing at the beach, food served at fixed ours, nobody really partying, most guests in bed well before midnight. This is clearly a (3). It is a great place for relaxing at the pool and/or beach, swimming, snorkeling around the property (you can walk around the island in 10-12min), and scuba diving. If you want this, it is hard to beat. The island favors sustainability, so all guests have meals in a single restaurant (local supplies favored), paper products (such as napkins) are minimized or non-existent, and water is used quite efficiently (the island has its own water desalinization plant). There is one house beer, white, and red wine as part of the all-inclusive, unless you want to step up and consume other drinks at an additional cost. There is a bar open till midnight, where you can hang out and have a drink or two while there, snacks are available (small sandwiches, popcorn). Staff is great, always helpful. Great store to buy some sarongs and get them tailored to your taste - right there! Communication was clear mostly at the front desk or through email. Great stay overall! ##### Rodrigo Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raffaella Jan 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Raffaella Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bhagmattie Dec 13, 2024 ##### Bhagmattie Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi](https://www.expedia.ca/Ithaafushi-Hotels-Waldorf-Astoria-Maldives-Ithaafushi.h32150301.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Falhumaafushi-Hotels-The-Residence-Maldives.h6563347.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.ca/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Sirru Fen Fushi Private Lagoon Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Gaakoshinbi-Hotels-Sirru-Fen-Fushi-Maldives.h20823848.Hotel-Information) > > [Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Fasmendhoo-Hotels-Emerald-Maldives-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h22402311.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Water Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Water-Villas.h1520790.Hotel-Information) > > [W Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Fesdu-Island-Hotels-W-Maldives.h1451558.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuramathi Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuramathi-Island-Hotels-Kuramathi-Maldives.h1152540.Hotel-Information) > > [Atmosphere Kanifushi - Premium All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.ca/Kanifushi-Hotels-Atmosphere-Kanifushi-Maldives.h15114442.Hotel-Information) > > [Lily Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Huvahendhoo-Hotels-Lily-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h8751436.Hotel-Information) > > [Kandolhu Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Kandolhu-Hotels-Kandolhu-Maldives.h7495205.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.ca/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Maldives Kooddoo Adult-Only Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kooddoo-Hotels-Mercure-Maldives-Kooddoo-Resort.h15439261.Hotel-Information) > > [SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Ehmafushi-Hotels-SAii-Lagoon-Maldives.h30435488.Hotel-Information) > > [Pullman Maldives Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kooddoo-Hotels-Pullman-Maldives-Maamutaa-Resort.h39802685.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Furanafushi-Island-Hotels-Sheraton-Maldives-Full-Moon-Resort-Spa.h1326412.Hotel-Information) > > [Centara Ras Fushi Resort & Spa Maldives - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Giravaru-Hotels-Centara-Ras-Fushi-Resort-Spa-Maldives.h5714044.Hotel-Information) > > [Furaveri Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Furaveri-Hotels-Furaveri-Maldives-Stay-4-Nights-Or-MORE-From-01-May-To-31-Oct-2025.h12809109.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayada Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Maguhdhuvaa-Hotels-Ayada-Maldives.h7353026.Hotel-Information) > > [The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Vommuli-Hotels-The-St-Regis-Maldives-Vommuli-Resort.h15858427.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru](https://www.expedia.ca/Landaa-Giraavaru-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Maldives-At-Landaa-Giraavaru.h1392594.Hotel-Information) > > [Taj Exotica Resort And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhu-Finolhu-Hotels-Taj-Exotica-Resort-And-Spa.h526353.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Kuredhivaru-Hotels-Movenpick-Resort-Kuredhivaru-Maldives.h28858949.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Emboodhoo-Lagoon-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Maldives.h31994718.Hotel-Information) > > [LUX* South Ari Atoll](https://www.expedia.ca/Dhidhoofinolhu-Island-Hotels-LUX-South-Ari-Atoll.h1520422.Hotel-Information) > > [Meeru Maldives Resort Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Meerufenfushi-Hotels-Meeru-Maldives-Resort-Island.h1451649.Hotel-Information)
