Nice Resort

Nice place to relax. Lots of chairs and hammocks around. Very beautiful water. Couple of beaches to relax on. During low tide, shallow enough for children to play in. The rooms were nice and clean. Keep in mind, you may see occasional ants or cockroachs in them, just how nature works. If that bothers you, bring a can of roach spray (I'm sure most resorts have this issue) Food was average. A mixture of Western Food and local food. Not really that impressed. Water was reasonably priced at 3 USD per 1.5 liters. Staff were good in my opinion. Seperate dive shop on the Island. Didn't dive, but the prices for the snorkel and kayak rentsl were reasonable. Though I realized they overcharged me for a kayak. Pay attention to the prices when paying at the dive shop which is not part of the resort. No coral around the island, it's all been destroyed, so that distracts from the beauty but some fish can be seen.

Rooms very basic and smaller than expected (believe they were advertised as 41sqm but appear to be around 25sqm max), hard beds and very dark as you will need lights on even during the day. No sound proofing at all, making you hear every word spoken next door. Not the most relaxing environment. Not a fan of the sharing tables policy which may pair you up with strangers for all meals - seems to be quite common in the Maledives. Food quality and choice is good. The island however and the beaches are beautiful, never feels crowded with plenty of space to lounge around and relax. Amazing house reef for snorkeling as well.

Great budget Maldives resort

I've been to many resorts in the Maldives (I used to work as a professional hotel reviewer), and Embudu Village is easily the best bang for your buck. Pros: AMAZING snorkeling and reef Great Beginners Reef Diving course with good instructor Affordable spa services and excursions (compared to the competition) Beautiful beaches with plenty of shade and privacy Laid back, unpretentious vibe They decorate your bed and table for your birthday (without you having to ask) Rooms now include beach towels Free Wi-Fi Cons: Hard mattress that hurt my back by the fourth day It was often hard to find help at the watersports and dive center SUP boards need new paddles Food is mediocre and desserts are barely edible

Good stay, expensive drinks and mediocre staff

The best part of this stay was the island, clean and beautiful, quiet and private. The snorkelling was fantastic, even if the reef is not in good condition. We swam with turtles, sharks, mantas and many fish. The transfer wasn't perfect, very expensive (75 dollars per person) and one of the trips wasn't with a speedboat as planned, so it took 1 hour. The room is lovely and very clean, but it's not a luxury room if you are looking for that. The buffet is good, but not various. The variety of fruit was very disappointing, few kinds of fruit in a tropical place was ridiculous. There are some activities like tours, snorkelling, fishing, but they are not very good explained. Sometimes some staff member seemed a bit invasive. The drinks were not included, and they are very expensive.

A hidden gem in the Maldives!

What a hidden gem in paradise! I wish I could say bad things about this place so it would stay a hidden gem, but it would be far from the truth! This is not a luxurious hotel by any means but it has everything you need for a wonderful, relaxing vacation. The reef and beaches are absolutely stunning, and the overall ambience of the hotel is charming and quaint. After a few days you think to yourself, "it does feel like a small village". The staff is very friendly and rooms clean and maintained fresh. The water bungalow upgrade is 100% worth it as you get beautiful views of the ocean and a pretty cool view down below (we saw an octopus go by below us as we were getting ready for bed one night). I could not say better things about this fantastic place. The food is good and changes every night, the staff is friendly, the dive shop is amazing, and excursions to choose from. I read this from another person's review and after going, I could not agree more. Embudu Village is: a 3 star hotel, with 4 star staff, in a 5 star location.

Pros: the views were incredible, the resort easy to get to, there were a range of tours/activities and by just walking along the beach you were guaranteed close up views of little sharks. The room was clean and the porch area nice. Cons: the food wasn't amazing (every meal was a buffet) and there seemed to be a lack of fresh fruit. Overall: perfect if you want a few days in the Maldives without breaking the bank.

Peaceful hotel in a small island

I especially enjoyed the theme dinners, every evening different kind of food. Even though you had to sit in the same table for the whole time. Also the bar was great, nice staff and good variety of drinks. Place is probably best for the snorkelers, but I cannot say for sure, because I didn't try it. The swimming conditions were not the best, a bit too shallow waters. Nothing to complain about the room, unless you want to have a tv, which was not part of the interior.

Great place for money and location

The place was great location not far from airport. When looking at hotels around here check to see how far away from airport some can be 4 hour boat ride away this is 15 minutes speed boat away and 35 minutes slow boat. This is really nice scenery but not a 5 star resort. You might have to walk to the bar to get drinks no service all around island. Wifi only in lobby might want to grab a local cell chip with data only $25 and should last a week stay you can use anywhere on island.

島の大きさに反し、大きなハウスリーフとキレイな砂浜が特徴のリゾート。プールは、無い。また、部屋にTVも無い。 砂浜は、キレイだが、海に入ると落ち葉や枯れ枝が、沢山海中にある。キレイな海なのに残念であった。 部屋は、良く掃除されていた。大きな殺虫スプレーがあり、これを撒くと、あちこちに虫が落ちて来た。バスルームの窓口を、開けると虫が入る様だ。 ダイビングセンターのWebサイトがあり、翌日の案内や、ダイビングポイントの説明が詳細に載っているのが、とても良いと思われた。 比較的安いリゾートで、もっぱらダイビング、シュノーケリングに専念したい人には良いと思われた。
