Universal Resorts in Bandos Island

"overall great experience"

"We visited Kurumba 12 years ago so this was a return to 'paradise'. The welcome at the airport and transfer to the resort by speedboat was efficient and hassle free, however it did cost $324 for the two of us, something we did not discover until a couple of days before arrival. The Kurumba has a wide range of facilities from the Spa to the glass bottomed boat and tennis courts and in that respect it lives you up its 5* rating. However as occupancy rates were down the specialist restaurants were only open for a couple of days a week, it would have been helpful to have been told this when we arrived. Our beachside bungalow was as ideal as expected although it did look a bit tired. All the staff were very professional, welcoming and attentive. I was particularly impressed with the guys who were constantly cleaning the beaches and common grounds, also the nightly singer was very good and entertaining. The noise of sea planes taking off from Male for the islands was however somewhat intrusive and not as we remembered. Overall we had a very good and enjoyable stay."

"Relaxing and beautiful resort and accommodation. "

"Booked and paid for full board and wasn’t able to have dinner or lunch. Was told dinner not available as kitchen was closing in 20 minutes and was told lunch not available as it is after checkout time. "

"Great place with great people"

"We went to celebrate our 10 th year anniversary and stayed 5 nights. The resort is wonderful and the staffs are fabulous. Everyone was very helpful and welcoming. Abdullah , Deepu , Firey and Neil made our stay much better by providing exceptional service."

"Friendliest staff"

"The airport transfers were punctual and efficient. Location is central to many attractions like park, mosque, fish market, restaurants. Staff is very helpful."

"Despite the resort being quiet, this has got to be one of the best holidays we've had. Food everywhere has been excellent, service amazing - staff are so friendly and helpful, its been so nice getting to know everyone! The room was lovely and cleaned every day to a high standard Would highly recommend and will most certainly be back!"
