Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a relaxing experience surrounded by lush greenery, perfect for leisurely walks even with a toddler. However, the room lacked a view of the beach and was prone to mosquitos, which was a minor inconvenience.
I feel like I found a gem of a location - right by the beach and near some fantastic dining spots. The rooms are clean and cozy, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The dining experience could use a bit more variety, especially for Indian vegetarian options, but overall, the resort shines. The facilities are top-notch, offering me a great value for the money spent.
The hotel offers a great beach location and is recommended for beach lovers despite some room issues. The main restaurant and reception are a bit far, requiring a short walk. The dive center is exceptional, but nighttime walking to the cafeteria can be dark.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms, although a bit dated, were very comfortable with spacious bathrooms and a private jacuzzi. The service, especially in the main restaurant, was friendly and welcoming. The location was good, and I enjoyed walking around the perimeter of the island. The dining experience was nice, but I wish there were more dishes available. Overall, a small to mid-size resort that offers good value for money.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet, adequately sized, and very clean, offering a comfortable and spacious experience. The service was done at my convenience, although there was a lack of a sincere apology for a misunderstanding. The location was perfect, being close to amenities and the beach. The dining options were decent with a good variety of food. Overall, a good value for a relaxing holiday.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, very clean, and quiet, just a few meters away from the beach, but they could use a bit of renovation despite being comfortable and nostalgic in line with the island's natural vibe. The service had its ups and downs, with hidden charges being a major downside, but I appreciate the effort of the Bandos Management and Staff in making our holiday beautiful. The location was convenient, close to the airport and offering a good selection of amenities and activities. The dining experience was fantastic with a variety of cuisines to choose from, and the facilities were good overall.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The Garden Villa was amazing, but there were some issues with cleanliness and strange smells in the rooms. The service was friendly and helpful in some aspects, but not so much in others. The location was excellent, perfect for a quick getaway, but there were some discrepancies in the dining spread. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.
I had an amazing stay at the hotel! The room was big and very clean, and the highlight was a cute little private beach hut with our own jacuzzi and a view right to the sea. The rooms, although slightly old, were still very comfortable with large bathrooms and a private jacuzzi.
I was thrilled with the clean rooms and early check-in at 11 am, but the resort could use a bit of updating. My room upstairs had a lovely balcony overlooking the lush greenery and sea, making me very content with my stay.
