"We stayed nights at Bandos then went to another resort for 6 nights. Bandos is great value. We stayed in the Premium Beach Villa. Definitely would pick that room again, IMO the water Villa is not worth the money. We also paid for the All Inclusive option, which was absolutely worth the money. Pros: amazing snorkelling from beach, great for families, good value. Cons: Lacks the luxury that you find in the Maldives. Food/Drinks quality was just average.
Bandos was a perfect addition so we could stay longer in the Maldives without break the bank account. However, if we spent the whole time at Bandos, then we would’ve disappointed (because it’s hard not compare resorts)."
