Only minor area for complaint was safety and privacy: Need an internal rail around the water bungalow walkways, dangerous for kids and drunks. Another screen down the side of water bungalows, so your neighbours can not look in would be nice. Our great whaleshark boat tour was overloaded and breached boat safety, 1 of the non paying hotel staff should have stepped down, rather than overload a boat safety guidelines. ##### Shaun Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alessandro 20 Sept 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Not enough swimming space. The island is covered with corral reefs so if you like snorkeling well your in heaven. If you want to spend your time in the water well very limited.

Upon learning this the team at Sandies Bathala then did everything they possibly could to make sure the remainder of our stay was incredible and it was! We'll have memories to cherish for a lifetime. The food is delicious and varied. The staff are kind, warm and attentive. The island's features really well thought out, eco friendly and well maintained. The coral reef is awesome and the ability to go snorkeling directly from your villa is a highlight. We stayed on the beachfront and in an overwater villa and they were both great! We'd go again on a heartbeat.

Dining at the resort was a delightful experience, with high-quality food that catered to various tastes. Each meal was a culinary adventure, showcasing the best of local and international cuisines. if I had to mention a couple of areas for improvement. I would suggest adding fans at the pool table area to enhance comfort. Additionally, while the food was outstanding, the desserts tended to be overly sweet. A bit more balance in the sweetness would elevate the dining experience to perfection. Despite these minor points, our stay was magical. The natural beauty, attentive staff, and variety of activities made it a perfect getaway. Thank you for an amazing time in this little piece of paradise! ##### Jean-Michel Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marino 6 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Sandies Bathala was nothing short of a dreamy escape to paradise! From the moment I set foot on the pristine sands to the last breathtaking sunset, every moment was sheer bliss. The resort's tranquil atmosphere and stunning surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation. The peaceful ambiance and gentle ocean breeze instantly melted away any stress. Exploring the vibrant underwater world was an absolute highlight. The snorkeling was incredible, and the crystal-clear waters allowed me to witness an array of tropical fish and marine life, creating unforgettable memories. I cannot commend the staff enough for their warmth, hospitality, and attentiveness throughout our stay. Special thanks to Chef Mahinda, Sous Chef Amith, Zahuraan, Ibrahim Rasheed, Gassey, Chanaka, Ibrahim Mohamed, Rakesh, Jotheeswaran, Maduranga, Jagath, Shree, Thunaj, Hassan, our housekeeper Ahmed and our lovely animation crew Vincenzo and Michela were outstanding. The staff here really played a part at making our stay exceptionally memorable. The resort's amenities were exceptional, catering to every need. My heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Sandies Bathala for creating an unforgettable getaway filled with relaxation, adventure, and exceptional service. The three amigos are already planning our return and eagerly anticipating our next visit to this slice of paradise! ##### Marino Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rodrigo 1 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a great property. Period. It is an island-hotel with 70 rooms only. When I think about all-inclusives, I generally categorize them in 3 big groups: 1. Party all day. Adults only, fun and drinks happening all day long. Plenty of eating options. 2. Family oriented. Games, a lot of kids around. Many pools, eating options. 3. Quiet. Can be family or adults, but it means relaxing at the beach, food served at fixed ours, nobody really partying, most guests in bed well before midnight. This is clearly a (3). It is a great place for relaxing at the pool and/or beach, swimming, snorkeling around the property (you can walk around the island in 10-12min), and scuba diving. If you want this, it is hard to beat. The island favors sustainability, so all guests have meals in a single restaurant (local supplies favored), paper products (such as napkins) are minimized or non-existent, and water is used quite efficiently (the island has its own water desalinization plant). There is one house beer, white, and red wine as part of the all-inclusive, unless you want to step up and consume other drinks at an additional cost. There is a bar open till midnight, where you can hang out and have a drink or two while there, snacks are available (small sandwiches, popcorn). Staff is great, always helpful. Great store to buy some sarongs and get them tailored to your taste - right there! Communication was clear mostly at the front desk or through email. Great stay overall! ##### Rodrigo Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raffaella 5 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Raffaella Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bhagmattie 13 Dec 2024 ##### Bhagmattie Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Canareef Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Herathera-Hotels-Canareef-Resort-Maldives.h12263621.Hotel-Information) > > [Constance Moofushi All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Moofushi-Island-Hotels-Constance-Moofushi-All-Inclusive.h4047888.Hotel-Information) > > [Kuredhivaru Resort & Spa Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kuredhivaru-Hotels-Movenpick-Resort-Kuredhivaru-Maldives.h28858949.Hotel-Information) > > [Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ellaidhoo-Hotels-Ellaidhoo-Maldives-By-Cinnamon.h2233446.Hotel-Information) > > [W Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fesdu-Island-Hotels-W-Maldives.h1451558.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Select Meedhupparu - 45 Minutes from Male by Seaplane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Select-Meedhupparu-Premium-All-Inclusive.h2256805.Hotel-Information) > > [OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-XPErience-Ailafushi.h72915265.Hotel-Information) > > [Kandolhu Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandolhu-Hotels-Kandolhu-Maldives.h7495205.Hotel-Information) > > [The Residence Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Falhumaafushi-Hotels-The-Residence-Maldives.h6563347.Hotel-Information) > > [Adaaran Prestige Water Villas - with Dine around Premium All inclusive - 24 hours – 45 Minutes from Male by Seaplane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Meedhupparu-Hotels-Adaaran-Prestige-Water-Villas.h1520790.Hotel-Information) > > [South Palm Resort Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ismehela-Hera-Hotels-South-Palm-Resort-Maldives.h31543567.Hotel-Information) > > [You & Me Maldives - Adults Only - Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Uthurumaafaru-Hotels-You-Me-Maldives.h36035737.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Maldives Rangali Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rangali-Island-Hotels-Conrad-Maldives-Rangali-Island.h564176.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Park Sun Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nalaguraidhoo-Hotels-Villa-Park-Sun-Island-Resort.h2917878.Hotel-Information) > > [JOALI Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muravandhoo-Hotels-JOALI-Maldives.h22699380.Hotel-Information) > > [Siyam World Maldives - 24-Hour Premium All-inclusive with Free Transfer](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siyam-World.h53715771.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horubadhoo-Island-Hotels-Royal-Island-Premium-All-Inclusive-Resort.h1501450.Hotel-Information) > > [Ayada Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maguhdhuvaa-Hotels-Ayada-Maldives.h7353026.Hotel-Information) > > [Soneva Jani](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Medhufaru-Hotels-Soneva-Jani.h15375843.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Nautica Paradise Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lankanfinolhu-Hotels-Villa-Nautica-Paradise-Island-Resort.h1932406.Hotel-Information) > > [Bandos Maldives - One Way Transfer FREE for stays from 1st May till 30th Sept 2025 for Bookings from 16 Apr 2025](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bandos-Island-Hotels-Bandos-Maldives.h1705990.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kedhigandu-Hotels-RIU-Palace-Maldivas-All-Inclusive.h35002724.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands](https://www.expedia.co.uk/The-Ritz-Carlton.h58998476.Hotel-Information) > > [Eriyadu Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eriyadu-Hotels-Eriyadu-Island-Resort.h8094958.Hotel-Information) > > [Diamonds Athuruga Maldives Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athuruga-Island-Hotels-Diamonds-Athuruga-Beach-Water-Villas-All-Inclusive.h4599418.Hotel-Information) > > [Veligandu Maldives Resort Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Veligandu-Island-Hotels-Veligandu-Maldives-Resort-Island.h1449989.Hotel-Information) > > [Cora Cora Maldives-Premium All-Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maamigili-Island-Hotels-Cora-Cora-Maldives-Premium-All-Inclusive.h67541796.Hotel-Information) > > [Safari Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mushimasgali-Hotels-Safari-Island-Resort.h16889194.Hotel-Information) > > [Constance Halaveli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Halaveli-Hotels-Constance-Halaveli.h3111321.Hotel-Information) > > [Cocoon Maldives](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ookolhufinolhu-Hotels-Cocoon-Maldives.h15440435.Hotel-Information)
