Perhaps its time to try a diffeent island.
This was our second trip to Bandos, both times we paid for the all inclusive package, this time there was definitely less drinks and cocktails included in the package. So really not All Inclusive!!!

The property and location are wonderful. The food is repetitive and I think my biggest disappointment is the chick staff in reception. Basically the left-hand didn’t know what the right hand was doing or they did not speak English although basically just too lazy to do what was being asked of them?

Not worthy of 5 stars
The only good part of the stay was the nice room, service was sub par quality. Breakfast buffet seemed low quality with not many options available, staff are not friendly, suppose to get a free wine but it wasn't there till we call and ask and eventhen it took them more than 3 hours to bring. The overall vibe is they just to take as much money as they can from you. Everything else needs to be paid add on.

Poor Quality food, which the staff acknowledged. Lack of attention by staff Limited and restrictive times for using water sports equipment. Hot water shared across too many rooms meant there were many times when showers were cold. AC in room was not sized correctly for space or conditions. Location and reefs were amazing. The resort lacked something to live upto its marketing. No somewhere I would return too. From other visitors to the Maldives I am told the resorts can be hit and miss, this was a miss.

Everything was pretty good other than the housekeeping. My villa was tidyed each day but not cleaned. The bathrooms were not mopped and washed down with soap and cleaners each day. The toilets weren't cleaned out either. I would deliberately note dirty areas and they'd still be dirty after Housekeeping 'cleaned.' Because of that, I will not be returning.

All inclusive not inclusive at all; "All-inclusive vacation packages claim to include everything, but in reality, they do not cover everything. "Will they serve food while we wait for the boat on the day of our departure?"

Our stay at Bandos was unfortunately not what we expected from a luxury holiday. Despite paying for all-inclusive, it was far from it. Freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, milkshakes, beachside snacks, and a-la-carte dining were all extra costs. Drinks included in the package were not covered in paid restaurants after 6 pm, which was bizarre. The cocktails were poorly mixed and all drinks were often lukewarm. The buffet(only place to dine with AI) had major food hygiene issues: the open-air setting allowed flies to touch the food, and fresh items like fruits and salads were not refrigerated. We mostly ate toast and beans for breakfast and paid for lunch and dinner because of this. The 'afternoon tea' offered a small toasted sandwich and fries, and once our sandwich had plastic in it, to which we received a mere "oh, sorry.". The selection of beachside drinks was limited and confusing. Drinks allowed at the beach bar were not allowed on sun loungers just a meter away. Service was another letdown. Menus were often not brought promptly, and servers rarely returned after taking the first order. We felt more like annoyances than customers. However, service in the paid Grill and Umiyaki restaurants was excellent, as was the staff at the dive center. Our room was comfortable but showed signs of wear and tear, with marks on fabrics and chips in countertops. Hand soap was not replenished, and one day we only received one bath towel for two people. Would reccomend looking elsewhere
