Bandos island resort had refurbishment during 2005 which saw it not only receive a stylish face lift but also extend its exiting facilities and add extra accommodation.
The new look and feel of Bandos is a pleasant balance between formal and casual and it has very much retained its Maldivian charm with thatched roofs etc. Some of the accommodation in both the standard and junior class areas have interconnecting doors for families who find themselves split between several rooms.
The bar area and other amenities are well-placed near the water, and the bar is often busy until the early hours of the morning. The restaurants, while not particularly inspiring in their decor, do serve a range of quality dishes.
The resort has made a lot of effort to look after and cater for visiting families, providing a purpose-built childcare facility with female staff on hand to look after the children and also provide babysitting in the evenings. So even with the kids along you can still enjoy a romantic break.
There are 84 standard rooms which lie on the beach side. There are 48 Junior suites at Bandos, arranged in groups with a shared garden. They are ornately decorated, with a yellow and ochre color scheme, solid wood four-poster bed and a sense of style that make them very accommodating.
Bandos is a center point for diving in the Maldives, boasting a decompression chamber among its many facilities. The dive center here is both a Platinum Facility of the International Association of Nitrox and Technical Divers and a PADI Gold Palm Resort.
You can expect a special event if you plan to get married on Bandos, the ceremony is held on the beach of one of the uninhabited islands in the atoll ? Kuda Bandos ? and is followed by a private cruise for the newlyweds on a Dhoni (Maldivian boat). - 29892
