Komandoo Island Resort & Spa ★★★★★

Staff, layout, reef, fish, seaplane journey, hearing distant call to prayer on breeze, sunset, proximity of doctor, absence of motor sport, flexibility of snorkelling instructors, occasional bird life, attitude to environment. A basic cabin on sunset side with view to distant inhabited island suited us well.

Making it clear you could ask for an introduction to snorkelling and the reef on arrival even if not on schedule.

The staff were the highlight of the trip, apart from the beautiful villas and pristine beaches. From the moment we arrive to the moment we departed, the staff were all superb and provided excellent service throughout. The other thing we liked about the resort was that it felt very private and everyone was no stranger to each other, guest and staff alike.

Food and Service… high standards

Bathroom and furnishings a bit tired

Everything was perfect. This was our first time in Maldives and not the last for sure. Beautiful island ️ and people. Everyone was very nice and friendly, food was good. We had a lot of activities there. There are a lot of reefs there and it’s perfect for snorkeling and scuba diving. We liked that it’s a small island and you can relax. Every night they had different entertainment in the bar and live music also. On the New Year’s night we had the best gala dinner, so much different food ????????????????

Can’t think of anything :)

The best thing in Komando is the staff who are so friendly and helpful

Nothing

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were fantastic. Lots of daily activities to do. Check the schedule beforehand to see what interests you. Staff are absolutely amazing and cater to your needs. Lots of marine life in the ocean; great for snorkelling - again, make sure to bring your equipment. Adult only island; and no shoes!

Schedule and explanation of activities should have been provided to guests before their arrival so excursions could be planned out.

Second time in this heaven! Everything was perfect and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to be back again!

The Staff were exceptional!

The food was good not great

Everything

Everything was magnificent! From the day we arrived all champions were absolutely wonderful until our last day. All staff are very helpful, happy and amazing. Our very own housekeeping Rasheed, outstanding waiter Kaleem and the lady in the reception (Harishna, i keep forgetting her name sorry!) made our stay as good as possible! Its the best honeymoon ever! Thank you!

The welcome to island was amazing The personal service and friendliness of staff The Water Villa and location amazing The most snorkelling ever done on holiday Most importantly Wedding Vow renewal and private dinner at Aqua

Everything surpassed expectations

Everything at Komandoo is beautifully thought through. The rooms are very comfortable and large. The food was exceptional. We cannot fault anything in the resort.

Having to go home! There is nothing we didn't like.

The staff was of top notch service. We went here for our honeymoon and it truly was a dream come true. The food was exceptional and we got lucky to have sunshine every day at our water villa in August.

The staff was exceptional! We had a great honeymoon, thanks to the staff. Special thanks to Zoona and Aanis for taking care of all all throughout our stay. We will definitely go back again.

Excellent service and friendly staff. Food was excellent and varied and everything is delivered with impeccable attention to detail

My recent stay at Komandoo Island Resort was nothing short of a blissful escape to paradise. While I have visited other resorts in the Maldives with superior beaches, food, and rooms, it was the exceptional hospitality and enchanting experiences that truly won me over. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced with genuine warmth and treated like cherished guests. The staff at Komandoo went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met, and their unwavering dedication made us feel like part of their extended family. Their kindness and attentiveness added an extra layer of magic to our stay. The absolute highlight of our trip was the stunning house reef located just steps away from our beach villa. We saw an abundance of marine life, including sharks, turtles, stingrays, and a myriad of colorful fish. It was truly a magical experience to be able to explore the underwater world right at our doorstep. In the evenings, we were delighted by the presence of nurse sharks near the Aqua restaurant. The restaurant staff and the head chef deserve special recognition for their exceptional service and culinary talents. They consistently went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of amazing. While it is worth mentioning that the food options were somewhat limited during the low season, it is completely understandable and commendable that the resort takes steps to reduce food waste. Despite the fewer choices, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals served. Furthermore, I highly recommend staying on the sunrise side of the resort. The water on the sunrise side of the resort was noticeably calmer compared to the sunset side. While the resort may not boast the absolute best beaches in the Maldives, it is the unparalleled hospitality and the experiences it offers that make it a place worth returning to.

we loved everything about komandoo. The staff were all excellent, it is very clean and excellent value for the price

If I tried to fit everything good we experienced here into one review it would be a novel. We came here from the USA for our wedding and honeymoon, and it could not have been more perfect. The service here is absolutely top notch. All guests are assigned an employee to handle all of their needs for each room. Likewise, you will have the same server for each meal who will be aware of what foods you like and what dietary restrictions you have. We have allergies and other food restrictions and the sous chef took the time to speak with us and make sure all of the food was safe to eat. Speaking of the food, it was ridiculously good. We were spoiled for choice with each meal. The island itself is absolutely gorgeous. Just unreal turquoise and blue water and white sugar sand beaches. There is a ton of wildlife here, as well. Baby sharks near the shores, crabs, hermit crabs, lizards, geckos, sea birds, fruit bats, and so many species of tropical fish. If you love the beach and animals, this is the place for you. We cannot think of a single negative thing to say. This place is truly paradise! Special thanks to Waasil, Alex and Youssef for making our trip beautiful and memorable! 

Absolutely nothing!

The water villa was perfect - loved the four-poster bed and private terrace with the ocean view that led straight into the water for great snorkeling. Staff were superb - cheerful, friendly, helpful and went the extra mile to make our stay special. A shout out to Saeed and his room decorations, Amar who organised the birthday surprises, Wahab for looking after us a mealtimes and his extra help, along with Annis and Suchi. And, of course, Alex and the kitchen staff who made sure we had great food. A very well organised and safe dive centre and dive boat with guides Fabs, Mel, and staff that made diving fun and relaxed. A nice spa. It's not on the water but the service and treatments were great. And, finally, to Navaz for making the time to chat to us. Hoping to be back soon.

The view westwards - sunset from Thundi Bar and from the restaurant is a little marred by the proximity of the nearby inhabited island. And the food options in the minibar could be better. But these are relatively minor.
