This resort is truly a paradise, offering an incredible island experience with an almost personal touch from the friendly staff. The water villas are spacious and provide direct access to a breathtaking marine life. However, the dining experience could use some refinement, especially with drink offerings and the temperature in the restaurant. Overall, it's fantastic value for money considering the stunning location and the myriad of activities available.

We just spent a wonderful 10-night anniversary holiday at Sandies Bathala, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The beach bungalows were spacious and comfortable, with amazing views and meticulous cleaning by the staff. The dining options were plentiful and delicious, particularly the fresh pastries and themed beach dinner. The only downside was the noticeable sand erosion and the presence of coral in the shallows, but these minor issues didn't detract from our overall experience. We felt the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff really made our stay special.

My stay on Bathala Island was truly a delightful experience with exceptional staff and a beautiful reef right at my doorstep. The beach bungalow was lovely, and I especially loved waking up to gorgeous sunrises every morning.
