"Varu was great. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with our friends who celebrated their 30th. We stayed in over-the-water villas in dolphin jetty. Really enjoyed the room, the private pool, and private access directly into the ocean. The staff was very friendly. The food options were great. The island was just the right size to be dedicated to the entire resort. We loved the experience. Highly recommend coming to Varu. "

"Beautiful property from top to bottom. The beach was immaculate and the service was outstanding. I appreciated how attentive staff was without being bothersome. It was clean, quiet and serene. My husband and I snorkeled in the beach daily and the water was crystal clear. This was an experience of a lifetime for us, and I can’t wait to return. "

"Our stay in Bandos couldn’t have been better. We stayed in a Superior Beach Villa, 1 minute walk from the beach. Room was very clean and serviced every morning whilst we were at breakfast. We went all inclusive and were very happy with what was included and what wasn’t. Food choices from the buffet were excellent and the restaurant staff were great. As we had a late return flight we booked a massage at the spa and spent a couple of hours before and after relaxing on the sun beds and shower before departure. Risma and Ploy gave us a great massage. We definitely will be back to Bandos - it’s just a matter of saving up!!!!"

"A wonderful stay at the CRF with its superb facilities and many diverse eating options. A special mention to Shana, Yaya and especially to Shohel who kept our over water villa spotlessly clean and tidy and was always helpful and pleasant. The staff at CRF always had a greeting with a smile. We will return!"

"The Hard Rock Hotel is great. Clean, with natural beauty, and cheerful staff. The only hiccup is when we got there, late in the day, the dining options seemed to be limited, and the hotel app, was kinda clunky, with restaurant bookings. I was frustrated. We had not eaten since before noon and we were not too happy about the general lack of immediate food. Every restaurant seemed to require reservations, and the app was, as I said, clunky. I walked to reception and kindly asked if we could order a Red Cross emergency food drop by helicopter outside our bungalow. The nice guy there got us in at the Hard Rock restaurant without reservations. It all turned out well and we were soon happy. Everything else at the hotel afterwards was great, when we got into the swing of things. It’s a really nice place indeed. If you have a midnight flight out from Male, consider visiting the city of Male in the late afternoon. Yes, the city is a dump, but it does have its own little charm. The people there are really great. I had motorcyclists stop in the middle of the road for fear they would ruin a picture I was taking. Extremely nice people indeed. Walk around the fish and vegetable market and pick up some snacks. Overall it was worth the quick visit. There is also a mosque made of coral in Male. Worth a look. We couldn’t go in because it was some sort of Muslim holiday or something. We took a taxi from the airport to town and another taxi back again. We had fun with this little excursion. "

"One of the best resorts I've ever visited "

"Customer service was amazing, everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The island is amazing. The prices for food are a little pricey but it is a resort. Book excursions early some fill up fast. I stayed in the water villa, absolutely beautiful, breathtaking views. I recommend the photoshoot as well, photos came out really nice. "

"Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food was lovely. Right on the beach!"
