Very nice resort island, with personnel always ready to help and always there for you. Food is impressive and various plates are served. The bars are serving very good cocktails and in the evenings there are good entertainment programs. The minus I would highlight is the activities offered, different kind of trips on the sea, but if not enough subscribers, excursion is cancelled or it can become a private one for a very high price. Also as e negative feature, the convenience store displays shameless prices, really offensive; I would understand these commercial excesses for unnecessary merchandise, but when you put a price of 50 dollars on a small bottle of sunscreen, is obvious they just want to rip off tourists.
We made a return visit to Sandies Bathala this year because we had such a lovely time last year. It was just as good this time around. Great snorkelling (sharks, rays, morays, and hundreds of species of fish), beautiful beaches, great food, great service, lovely rooms. Thanks especially to our waiter, Amjad, who took such great care of us at the beginning of the week. All the staff were friendly and attentive, but we appreciated especially Amjad’s positivity and jokes.
One of the best holiday in Maldives. The hotel is on the beach of island. But the front beach is not the bikini beach. Bikini beach is almost 8 minutes walking distace from hotel. But on the front beach hotel we do relaxing on sunbed and chairs with shorts and T shirts. The hotel arrange special dinners and breakfast on this beach. Best part of this hotel is their amazing excursions. We did Dream Island trip, Manta trip and a Sandbank trip with the special excursion guide called Samad. All the staffs are very friendly and helpful.
