“I'm impressed by this resort's commitment to both luxury and practical amenities, such as the hyperbaric chamber, alongside its clear focus on family-friendly activities and superb diving. The variety of dining options appeals, but the all-inclusive package, which extends to access for sports like tennis and squash, would be my first choice. It's the sort of detail that elevates a holiday.”

My recent stay at Bandos Island Resort was truly enjoyable, primarily because of the incredible staff who went above and beyond to make our experience special. The beach was beautiful and the water clear, making it ideal for snorkeling. However, the dining experience fell short due to some limitations on all-inclusive options and occasional noise from nearby boats. Overall, it was a great value for a family-friendly getaway, with just a few areas needing improvement.
