6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
A decent hotel and the suite we stayed in was lovely. Our issue really comes from the lack of available tours unless sufficient guests book in, but if not enough book you’re not able to book with another tour company without paying an extortionate docking fee. The food at the buffet is average but the Italian restaurant was lovely. The staff seem very confused with requests and say they’re not allowed to make decisions and yet there is never anyone around who can. Frustrating experience

Iniziando dalla reception, la ragazza con gli occhiali e treccia lunga, non ricordo il suo nome, lei mi ha accolta e mi ha salutata alla partenza, eccezionale! ma anche tutti gli altri. Il personale del ristorante, quel ragazzo che la mattina si ricordava sempre di portami una tazza di acqua calda oltre al caffè, i cuochi, soprattutto quello delle uova 🤗, cordiali e disponibili, i ragazzi che si occupano delle pulizie, camere e spazi all’aperto, estremamente cordiali, si portano sempre una mano sul cuore per salutarti. Isola vicina a Malé, certo, passano dei motoscafi davanti l’isola, ma non danno assolutamente fastidio, con 15 minuti di barca veloce sei in paradiso! Cibo, ottimo vario ed abbondante anche veg. Reef spettacolare ed adorabili anche tutti gli altri animaletti che girano per l’isola! Avevo il volo alle 23, mi hanno lasciato soggiornare fino alle 19 nonostante il check-out alle 12, ovviamente non mi hanno lasciato la camera ma mi hanno messo a disposizione una doccia che anche questa è meravigliosa. La ciliegina sulla torta per chiudere la vacanza in bellezza!! Un paio di appunti che posso fare, curare un pochino di più le pulizie dettagliate, tipo polvere sui lampadari e negli angoli, poi credo che la struttura sia leggermente datata e questo comporta alcune piccole crepe sulle pareti forse sarebbe bene ridare una mano di vernice e sostituire qualche mattonella oramai usurata, ma davvero, tutto ciò è ininfluente per quanto altro lascia nel cuore quest’isola!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Since our arrival, we have encountered several significant discrepancies between our booking and the actual experience provided. First, although we booked an all-inclusive package, we were informed upon arrival that we are required to pay for any food items or drinks left unfinished from the menu. This contradicts the standard understanding of an all-inclusive agreement. Furthermore, we were moved to an Ocean View Villa rather than the Sunset Beach Villa we specifically reserved. Most concerning is the safety and transparency of the resort. On arrival, we were asked to sign a liability waiver stating that the resort would not be responsible for our safety. This is particularly alarming given the high presence of bats throughout the island. Given these misleading terms and the request to waive basic safety responsibilities, I am deeply dissatisfied with this experience

Had a sunrise room, it was lovely though may put some people off who don't like insects in your bathroom as it is outside. Food was great, staff was lovely. House reef is really good, accessible from all sides. We saw reef sharks, eagle rays and devil rays on the house reef. Manta ray excursion is 30 min boat ride.

It was nice. Did have to request for our pool to be cleaned and the deccing wasn’t cleaned during our stay therefore made it a bit uncomfortable to use our private pool. Out shower was also full of leaves. Our room wasn’t cleaned for 2 days although we left the sign on the door requesting for it to be done. After speaking with reception the finally did clean our room. It was advertised as 2 restaurant all inclusive but one restaurant was closed

Nice escape close to Male

Loved the included breakfast, and the lemongrass electrolytes in the gym! The gym itself was nice too. Great snorkeling right there. Gorgeous beach, sunrises and sunsets! Island is small, but lovely. Staff very helpful, attentive, and accommodating—even when I requested to switch rooms. They also helped sort out my lost luggage with the airport. They have a desk at the airport where they escort you out to the boat, all very simple. They were able to modify meals for allergies. Biggest down side was that the restaurants were closed from 2-7pm which was tough when recovering from jet lag. Otherwise, a great relaxing option close to Male.

Great place to get away for a couple days. Really happy we paid to stay in a villa - it was unfortunately raining while we were here so the extra space was very appreciate. All to nclusive is definitely the way to go. The buffet was awesome. Would have been nice if there was a larger pool for all guests to use. The bubble tub on our patio was nice and probably never needs but it need it doing our rainy stay to be usable.

The resort was a dream. We really liked the island, you could walk around it in 10 minutes. We had the Sunrise Beach Pool Villa and it was really nice, especially the bathroom was an oasis. The room was cleaned twice a day and the towels and bathrobes were changed, even the pool was checked and cleaned every day. A few steps from our villa you could go snorkeling where you could also experience sharks up close. We had an all-in stay, which I would recommend to everyone because otherwise it would be VERY expensive. The food was fantastic, it really tasted very good (not the usual all-in that you experience in other countries), the chefs Dipak, Souray, Vishal, Amdadul and Rana put a lot of effort into fulfilling every wish and warmly every time Greeted and always had a good mood and a smile on their faces. The waiters were always very friendly and did a great job. We really felt very comfortable and would come again.

Malahini Kuda Bandos

Our stay at Malahini Kuda Bandos was truly unforgettable. As a welcome gift, we received a fruit-filled basket. The cleanliness of our room, the pool, and the jacuzzi were all perfect. The dining staff were very attentive, especially Leona, who always served us with a smile, and Sauran, who prepared fresh eggs for us every morning. We also want to thank Deepak, Jahangeer, Rana, and Vishal for their kind and meticulous service. The privacy of our room, the tranquility, and the peacefulness of the island gave us the most unforgettable memories. The natural beauty of the island is beyond words—white sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters filled with vibrant coral, colorful fish, and sea turtles. It's truly a slice of paradise. Thank you so much for everything, Malahini Kuda Bandos!
