Universal Resorts in Bandos Island from AU$549

"The establishment and resort! The hard working staff was very friendly and accommodating. Great atmosphere with great entertainment and the day time dj’s were awesome. The ford was amazing and lots of options to choose from. The rooms were clean and didn’t lack on anything. The bar staff were we spent quiet a bit of time had great drinks always willing to help and always having a smile on their face. I will attach a picture with all the bartenders names that were amazing. Please be proud of the staff that is working for you and makes you feel like home. The spa was exceptional and the staff. "

"Clean room with a cosy breakfast and kind staff in the heart of Male - walkable to many areas around the old part of the city and very close to the airport! The airport transfer included in the price of the room was great - kind staff and accommodating for the last minute changes in flight times. The only issue was that we stayed on the second floor and the rooms were not very well insulated and we could hear the noise from the road "

"Airport shuttle for pick up and drop off, was efficient and easy to locate the driver when exitingthe airport. Very friendly, carried our luggage to the car and into the motel. Friendly reception staff, carried luggage to the room. Room was very clean and cool with air conditioning running in anticipation of our stay. A little crystallisation in the tile grout in the bathroom but other than that, it was very modern with USB ports in the power points and a very resonably priced mini bar. (No alcohol) A gift shop in the spacious and comfortable foyer. The buffet breakfast was terrific with a wide variety to meet all tastes. I recommend this property as it was extremely convenient as a stop over port to the atolls. The township is not tourist friendly, use it as a layover, not for vacation. "

"We were very happy with our short stay here. The airport meet went well, the lady at the reception desk was very helpful as were all of the staff. We had to leave early and they organized a 6 AM buffet breadfast for us, which was delicious. So this is an excellent hotel in our view."

"WOW, one of the best hotels i have been to in the Maldives! Super clean rooms , beach studio is awesome with a private beach. Lots of things to do compare to anywhere else, variety of restaurants 15 different cuisines, hookah lounge, small markets, even a smoke shop and a disco. Few pools with bars, music and entertainment day and night. Our housekeeper was great and helpful, front desk people are awesome, the Russian lady helped us and extended our check out since our flight is at night (Thank you and no additional charge). I would definitely come back to Hard Rock resort next time we are in the Maldives. Great experience, thank you all . The only thing that i did not like was the service in that ne of the restaurants which was a 3th party and not part of the resort, Tappanyaki place called Blue something, servers deff need some training ( thanks to our table chef we were able to order drinks finally he was awesome though and food was outstanding). Anyways thank you all! "

"We had an amazing time, a week of sun and no rain. Very organised transfer to and from Varu via speed boat. Our room was the water suite with endless views of the sea. Good selection of food at Lime and Chili. Teppanyaki was worth the extra cost, managed to book the restaurant without sharing it with other guests. All staff friendly and welcoming. Managed to get lots of things done on the Island from star gazing, spa treatments, watching the sun rise and set!"

"Yes.Met by staff holding board with name on it."

"Nem transport fra lufthavn til Bandos - ideelt for 4-5 dages ophold. "

"Great resort , well located 20-25 minutes speed boat ride to Male airport . Very attentive staff, great food and amenities. Water ocean villa are just amazing and very well kept like new. Also great to be able to snorkel around the island straight from the villa . Well recommended ! Thanks for a great experience! "
