An excellent vacation experience! 👍🏻 My family and I had a wonderful and enjoyable time. First off, the island is huge and has a full range of entertainment facilities, making it perfect for families of all ages to come and vacation 🏖️. It exceeded our expectations; it's simply beautiful! Especially Joey, who welcomed us – she was incredibly friendly and patiently introduced us to everything on the island. We kept bothering her from the first day of our check-in, and I even felt a bit bad for disturbing her 😅, but no matter how busy she was, she would always kindly reply to my questions right away. She even specially arranged a birthday cake and champagne 🍾 for me when she found out it was my birthday, which touched me deeply 🥲. All the other staff members were also very friendly! Happy times always feel too short! My family and I really didn't want to leave! We will definitely come back next time. Thank you to all the Hard Rock staff 🥰

errorkingA. Family trip, two villas. One sunset deluxe beach pool villa, and one sunset beach pool villa.
1. The deluxe villa is very luxurious and new, with air conditioning in the bathroom, but it's far from the restaurant and relatively further from the beach compared to non-deluxe rooms.
2. The regular villa is next to the restaurant, very close to the main pool and the lobby. However, it's older than the deluxe villa and its bathroom doesn't have air conditioning.
B. The hotel's location is excellent, just a 20-minute speedboat ride from Malé airport.
C. We bought the full board package. The restaurant specializes in Indian cuisine, which we really enjoyed. Juices and beverages are only available at breakfast. For lunch and dinner, you can only order à la carte; soft drinks are $5, juices are $10, plus an additional 27% service charge and tax. Haha...
D. The excursions are too expensive, it really hurt my wallet (see picture). It's better to book them on a local island.
E. You can snorkel near the overwater bungalows and the jetty, but there aren't many marine creatures, and the water quality is just average.
Overall, the hotel offers great value for money. Next time, I definitely need to visit a local island, it's so much more economical...
PS. It's best to download WhatsApp in advance. Our butler didn't really use WeChat and was often unreachable...

Rebekah YPWWithout question, this is the best-value Maldivian resort we have ever visited. We've stayed at several resorts in the Maldives, and none have managed to combine luxury, efficiency, quality and value quite like this.
From the moment we arrived, everything was incredibly well organized. Check-in was seamless, and throughout our stay the team consistently thought two steps ahead, ensuring that arrivals, bookings, activities and departure arrangements were all perfectly coordinated. We never once felt stressed or had to waste time waiting for anything. The Dusit Gold app was exceptionally responsive and useful, making the entire experience smooth and effortless.
Our villa was spotless, and housekeeping was outstanding. Turnover and turndown service were always completed perfectly and punctually. Every detail in the room worked flawlessly — from the coffee machine and hot water to the bathtub, water pressure and lighting. Nothing was faulty, which is surprisingly rare even at luxury resorts.
The food was genuinely some of the best we have experienced in the Maldives, with authentic flavours and a huge selection of food and drinks included in the all-inclusive package. What impressed us most was that the resort never cut corners. Unlike some resorts that can be stingy with portions or beverage quality, here they provide the full wholesome experience. Drinks were always generously poured and promptly refilled, and there was an excellent variety of restaurants open simultaneously for dinner, giving plenty of choice each evening.
Special thanks to Mohamed and the wonderful Barcelonian dive instructor, who were incredibly kind, professional and personable. They even remembered us by name before we had arrived at the dive centre, which made us feel genuinely welcomed. The management team was equally impressive — professional, attentive and seemingly never saying no to any request.
The spa treatments were excellent, especially the Thai massage by the Bhutanese therapist, and we also enjoyed one of the best deep tissue massages from the personal trainer at the gym. Prices for activities, spa treatments and extras were all very fair and represented excellent value.
Despite being close to Malé, the marine life was thriving and abundant. The water was crystal clear, peaceful and free from noise pollution. We were pleasantly surprised by how lush and vibrant the underwater environment was.
Another thing we appreciated was the sense of space. There was never any need to fight for sun loungers, cabanas or tables. Everything felt spacious and relaxed. Families are also exceptionally well catered for, with both a kids' club and a teens' club — something that is surprisingly rare.
For travellers who want to maximize their time in the Maldives and avoid spending hours on seaplane transfers, this resort is an absolute gem. The convenience of being close to Malé combined with such a luxurious atmosphere is hard to beat.
Overall, this has been the most value-for-money yet genuinely luxurious resort we have ever experienced. Exceptional service, outstanding food, thoughtful management, and a team that consistently goes above and beyond make this a place we would return to without hesitation.
Will definitely be back.

Guest UserFinally done with work, I can now write a review about the Maldives. I feel like the hotel I picked this time was exceptionally good. The hotel offers complimentary round-trip speedboat transfers. Our flight arrived around 10:00 AM, and while the normal check-in time in the Maldives is 2:00 PM, we arrived at the hotel around 11:00 AM and they still arranged a room for us immediately, so we could rest without waiting at the front desk. The front desk had a lovely lady who spoke Chinese, and she was incredibly polite and friendly. The only minor drawback was that I couldn't see anything while snorkeling here, which might also be due to my skill level. There are three islands connected, with a total of three hotels and over a dozen restaurants. I originally thought I wouldn't find much good food in the Maldives, but the hotel's food was surprisingly delicious. We chose the half-board option. For dinner, you could pick any restaurant and choose three dishes. All the staff were very friendly. On our last day, our flight was at 9:00 PM, and while normal check-out is at noon, they allowed us to stay until 5:30 PM before transferring us, which was perfect for heading to the airport. The most touching part was that one of our travel companions had a birthday, and while we were out, the hotel secretly put a cake and wine in our room. It was truly very touching and an unexpected surprise. This trip to the Maldives was incredibly surprising and delightful; I had a wonderful time!

Excellent hotel with top-notch service. I stayed in a suite and was impressed with the amenities: slippers, shower caps, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, hair conditioner, shower gel, a shaving kit, hairdryer, iron, and they even brought an extra blanket – I really appreciated that! The sea view was stunning, and everything felt new and clean. We also tried the Balinese massage at the spa, which was amazing – the girls did a fantastic job! We didn't want to leave; we loved everything: the beach, the food, and the friendly atmosphere. We visited 5 islands and only stayed one day here, deciding to take a trip to Gili. We didn't want to leave, and if we could redo our trip, we would allocate more days for this hotel. It felt just like home, thank you! And most importantly, there's a bikini beach, which was a welcome relief from having to wear clothes all the time. Highly recommend!!!!

kelkonsVery nice and comfortable accommodation. Went with a friend of mine back in October 2023, and we were greeted by a warm friendly receptionist and a clean lobby. Our room was on the second floor, with very comfortable beds, toilets, and necessary amenities. Except that the sink's tap water smelled a little funny which we avoided using. However the reception was quick to send over whatever we requested, like water, clean towels etc. Would definitely book again if i ever visit Himmafushi again next time!

Amazing Stay at Arena Beach Hotel
Beautiful beach vibes with a clean, hotel-allocated beach front long beach with refreshing dring service. and an infinity pool with stunning sunset views. Rooms are clean with sea view, with basic amenities with daily water, tea/ coffee, and towels are provided.Special thanks to Abishek from HK he was very attentive he acknowledges my request and resolved very quickly as my bathroom faucet was leaking.
Food & Drinks: Wide buffet & à la carte options at affordable prices, with non-alcoholic beverages. Dinner with live music made evenings extra special.
Sisha option was also a alternative choice as island not serving alcohol.
Breakfast buffet was good healthy choice with friendly service staff specially Hasan ali (friendly and professional man) Abash attentive and prompt service.Hasim/mahmood and one indian lady from Lucknow( good recommendation and suggestive selling) Nightlife & Activities: Relaxing and charming nightlife. Night vibes was really amazing dining ambience is same as five star resort level.
Water sports like stingrays and sharks snorkelling and Sandbank full days tours were unforgettable.
Reservations cheking and checkout processes was little tired For guests on long journeys who arrive early at the airport (e.g., 9:00 AM) but have transfers to the island only at 13:00, consider providing alternative options such as a comfortable lounge, refreshments, or earlier boat transfers. Waiting 4+ hours after a long 9-hour flight can be tiring, so small adjustments would greatly improve guest experience.
Special thanks to BERLIN as he is only senior label staff who always asked feedback with friendly manner and engage to guest relation service.provided all the information needed about our stay including chekin check out process make everything smooth and easy.
Value for money: Excellent. A beautiful island stay you won't forget!

The Ultimate Healing Retreat: A Luxurious Escape for the Soul
If you are looking for a place to truly disconnect from the noise of the world and find your inner peace again, Grand Park Kodhipparu is the ultimate destination. After experiencing a period of burnout, this resort was exactly what I needed to recharge and find a fresh perspective on life.
Seamless Arrival & Pristine Beauty
From the moment we deal with the staff at the arrival area, the experience was effortless. The resort provides a dedicated luxury speedboat that picks you up and drops you off directly at the airport. It takes away all the stress of travel logistics. The island itself is incredibly well-maintained. The sand is powdery white, and the entire resort is kept spotlessly clean, preserving the natural beauty of the Maldives.
A Sanctuary for Peace
What I appreciated most was how the resort caters to both physical and spiritual well-being. They have a beautifully maintained mosque on the island, which is very serene, clean and well-kept. It added a layer of calm and convenience that made the stay even more meaningful
And not to forget, for your food of mind, they also have a mini library so that we can lay down through out the stay accompanied by the book of our choice. It can be borrowed & later returned via the reception.
Unforgettable Highlights
Snorkeling from the Villa: One of the best parts of the stay was being able to jump straight into the crystal clear water for snorkeling right under my room. The marine life is vibrant and right at your doorstep.
Dolphins at Breakfast: Imagine sipping your morning coffee and watching dolphins play in the distance. We were lucky enough to spot them during breakfast, which was a magical way to start the day.
Stargazing: During serene night, either near the beach or while you slowly brisk walking back to your room, it’s surely the perfect place to just enjoy the Maldivian night sky with the beautiful shining stars smiling at you.
The Staff: The service here is world-class. Every staff member is genuinely kind, attentive, and dedicated to making your stay perfect. They really go the extra mile to ensure you feel at home.
The Perfect Cure for Burnout
The atmosphere at Grand Park Kodhipparu is incredibly quiet and private. It is the perfect place to sit with a book, listen to the waves, and clear your mind. I left the island feeling like a new person, with a renewed spirit and a calm heart.
Final Verdict: A 10/10 experience. Whether you are seeking luxury or a deep mental reset, this is the place to be. We cannot recommend it enough! 😘

Svetlana LepekhaOur stay at Bandos Maldives was truly magical, from the moment we stepped onto the island to our farewell breakfast. The island itself is beautiful: well-maintained tropical gardens, clean and comfortable rooms with lagoon views, diverse and delicious cuisine, and a plethora of options for both active and relaxed leisure – from snorkeling by the reef to spa treatments and water sports. Everything was flawlessly organized with genuine attention to guests.
We especially want to highlight the atmosphere: the team at Bandos does everything to make your vacation effortless and joyful. The staff was consistently polite and smiling, quick to address any requests, and the service was thoughtful and unobtrusive. We particularly appreciated the cleanliness, order, and efficiency at the reception and in the restaurant.
Special thanks go to Lepkha, the bar staff member – her warm and attentive service made our evenings truly cozy. Lepkha not only expertly prepared cocktails but also tailored drinks to our mood, offered excellent recommendations, and always greeted us with a smile. Her care and sincerity left the warmest impressions and made our holiday unforgettable.
We recommend Bandos Maldives to anyone looking for a combination of relaxed island living and high-level service. We will definitely return, and next time, we'll be sure to find our magician, Lepkha, behind the bar. Thank you to the entire team for our delightful days on the island!
