I visited Komandoo island in September 2024. As 2 months have now passed, I’m ashamed to say that I have forgotten a lot of the names of the wonderful staff, The Champions as they are called, who really make this resort stand out from other resorts we have visited in the Maldives but each and every one of them are so lovely and will do anything in their power to make your stay memorable. After a lovely scenic ride on the seaplane, we landed by the nearby pontoon, where a speed boat comes and picks you up and transports you to the resort, which only takes a few minutes. We were dropped off at the jetty where we walked along to the welcoming drums and singing of The Champions. We were given a cold drink and wet flannel to freshen up. We were given a brief overview of the island and promptly shown to our beach villa and were shown around the room by the champion. The villa was larger than I had anticipated and the outside toilet/shower room was really lovely. The massive four poster bed is the comfiest bed I have ever slept in, and the pillows were amazing. Our bedding was changed every day. Our towels were also changed daily and the room was cleaned every day to a very high standard, as was the bathroom. There was a turndown service provided every evening too. The fridge was very well stocked. There was a half bottle of champagne in an ice bucket in our room on arrival too which was a really nice touch. Having a detached beach villa with sea view, terrace with table and chairs and our very own sun loungers was perfect and our own private ***** of beach right outside our door was awesome. There is also a hose outside the bungalow to remove sand from your feet before entering. The food in the restaurant is of a good standard and the AI wine was perfectly drinkable. The cocktails were of a good standard. The naan station is a highlight where freshly cooked plain, garlic and chilli naans are cooked to order. There is a selection of meat available at this station too. My only complaint is that there is no curry sauce at this station. You have to go back into the restaurant to obtain some sort of sauce from curries that were usually made up of fish or vegetarian options; I would like to have seen more chicken and beef curries on offer. However, a pot of medium and a pot of hot curry sauce by the naans would be a great addition in my opinion. The outside dining areas by the floodlit lagoon are really special. The over-water a-la-cart restaurant is also very good. We took a trip to the 5:8 undersea restaurant which, although is very expensive, was well worth the money for the experience. The food here was simply divine and of course the ambience of the fish swimming around you and the relaxing music to accompany your meal is just perfect. The wine pairing on offer is again quite expensive but they are good measures; just be careful getting on and off the boat after 5 glasses of wine! We stayed on the sunset side of the island which looks onto the loc
