Culinary Delights

“The dining experience at Bandos was really good, with a wide variety of delicious options available. Each breakfast featured fresh fruits, yogurts, pancakes, and an expansive selection of hot dishes including bacon and omelettes. I especially enjoyed a seafood lunch on the beach, complete with skewered prawns and calamari, all beautifully presented and incredibly tasty.” view full review

My stay at the resort was absolutely delightful. The beach was stunning, and perfect for snorkeling, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. However, the all-inclusive dining was somewhat hit or miss, and I felt the drink options could be improved. Overall, it's a beautiful spot with fantastic scenery, but a few adjustments in dining could enhance the experience.

I had an amazing stay at this resort! The location is perfect, just a short boat ride from the airport, and the entire property is beautifully landscaped with plenty of private spots. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but they could benefit from a bit of modernization to truly feel like a luxury escape. While the dining options were varied and delicious, it was disappointing to find extra charges for small amenities like water. Overall, a great value for a tropical getaway!
