We stayed in a/c rooms but these badly need an overhaul. Hot water kept going cold and no hot water in the sinks. They do not provide beech towels. Staff service on the other hand was very good and the food is the best I have experienced in the Maldives (I have been to 7 previous islands). The beech is... more

Hi , I visited Embudu last year for 4 days ... believe me its an amazing place to stay in Maldives... excellent location, good food ,,, Snokerlling and Scuba driving equipments available .. great collection of fauna and flora around the island .. more

My partner and I stayed there from 21-24 October in room 78, a superior type which was in the perfect location, far from noisy power generator (thanks to previous comment from this website), near the clean beach and got a chance to swim and 'kick' the shark ! The food there was okay. I expected grilled seafood rather than Indian... more

We literally arrived back in the UK today after spending a week in Embudu village. I have to say when I left I was feeling a bit upset because I am leaving all the nice and helpful staff there. The chiefs from restaurant are extremely pleasant, they will come around at each meal time and simply greeted guests with "how... more

I stayed at Embudu from October 03, until October 13. We didn't have any rain, not even during the night. Every day was sunny, at least 30° C but it felt warmer. We booked a superior room as we noticed that the standard rooms neither have AC not warm water. I didn't really need warm water but to be honest... more

Embudu is lovely. The beaches are amazing and the house reef is to die for. It's the most relaxed I've ever been on a holiday and we've booked again for Jan 10 - I can't wait. The island is fairly basic and not for posh la la's, but it's clean and beautiful. We were in room 76, which has a... more

The main thing I liked about the island was the snorkelling on the reef and the peace and quiet - no noisy people. Not good if you like a party atmosphere and loads of organised activities. It wasn't plush by any means but the rooms were comfy and within feet of the sea. We were exhausted by all the swimming... more

First time visit to the Maldives, excellent late deal via Thomson - two weeks full board. Overall an amazing Maldivian island full of relaxation, beauty and nature, which easily outclasses its budget star-rating. Where the hotel lacks in 'luxury' it makes up in great hospitality, clean airy rooms and an absolutely spectacular house reef (like swimming in an aquarium) and... more

18 May 09 Arrived Male Airport from Singapore without much fanfare except for the pouring rain at 2200hrs. Although visiting Maldives is visa on arrival, , its quite fuss-free clearing the customs in less than 15 minutes. The single big piece luggage that Judith and myself brought was x-ray and opened (they thought they saw some kind of WMD but... more
