Holidays in the Maldives – The Island Resort of Baros and Bandos
Enjoy your Holidays in the Maldives
Bandos
Bandos had a significant overhaul in 2005, which added some accommodation and an extension of its facilities. The appearance of the station is the right balance between formal and casual styles. The reception has a range of modern conveniences such as internet hotspot, plasma television, conference room, etc.. Still, it did not affect the natural beauty of the everyday station that has not been compromised at all. The overall impression is of peaceful accommodation with areas of private beach shaded by palm trees and other vegetation. The main bar and cafe are located near water; the bar is usually a hive of activity until the early hours of the morning. The restaurants, though not particularly inspiring in their decor, serve a variety of quality dishes.
This station has made great efforts to accommodate families, with a nursery run by female staff who, in addition to providing care, provide babysitting in the evening if necessary. Some of the rooms, junior, and have a standard door for families that are split between the pieces. The resort is popular with families so that children are too young to take part in certain activities older will probably have other children their age to play around with.
Activities
Bandos has one of the leading centers of diving in the Maldives, having even one of the rare decompression chambers in the country. There is a good range of courses from PADI courses from beginner to expert during re-breather. The dive center here is both a PADI Gold Palm Resort Facility Platinum International Association of Nitrox and Technical Divers.
Accommodation
48 Junior suites are available and are richly decorated with a color scheme of tan and yellow, a solid wood canopy bed, and a sense of style that makes them feel very intimate. The only drawback is that the beach in this section of the station is completely submerged at high tide, but it is a small matter for most, I think. There are 84 standard rooms beside the beach and 19 others who are not beachfront. They are nicely furnished with tiled floors and balconies. These alternate between standard rooms and twin bed layout to provide families again.
