As resorts go this was a very relaxing and enjoyable experience. We initially booked for a short break. Scuba diving was top of the list . Our diving was amazing ran by yogie and Vilktoria going to some amazing dive sites just relaxing. Dive operation ran perfectly back to basics old school I look after my own equipment. 10/10 The room was pleasant fridge kettle hair dryer safe AC all supplied, Shower room was presented very well and compact . The bedroom had everything we needed, stiff mattress soft/hard pillows to choose from. Dining restaurant, breakfast. Lunch & dinner all included not one complaint from us, your given a table to share in some instances which is yours for the duration of the stay. something for every one and varied. You could upgrade for special meals like lobster/Steak. The bar was adequate, the service was efficient and very calming. A nice platform watching the sun go down near the bar with the excursion boats coming and going. In all an extremely relaxing break. Spa was very calming and peacefull which we enjoyed. It ticked all my boxes I did my homework and knew what to expect nothing fancy but a pleasantly relaxing atmosphere. …

I found Embudu Resort a excellent place to stay at Maldives. I stayed 4 days in Water Villa with my spouse. The hotel it-self, the interior, the rooms, ambience all is superb. All the staff including Sales Manager (Mr. Rasheed), kitchen chef (I forgot name !), food floor coordinator (Mr. Niranjan) and all working staff are very cordial and supportive. Food ... lots of variety, very fresh and testy. It was wonderful relaxing experience. Love you Maldives, Love you Embudu

We had great holidays at Embudu Village, they will stay in our memories forever. The complete Staff is always smiling, friendly and answered all questions we had. The Restaurant und Bar Manager, Niranjana, is always taking care and watching that everything goes well. The guy that attended us, Karthik, attended us with heart and we appreciate that very much. The diversity of the kitche and meals as well as drinks is awesome. A very good combination of traditional and international meals, very well prepared and very well tasting. The room was very comfortable and very clean, as well as all other facilities too. The organisation of the hotel was great, from the beginning till departure, we have been always informed. The Spa ladies are very friendly and they have a big offer of massages. The sports offer is enough, as we had lots to see under water at snorkeling or driving with the banana or the sofa boat, kayak, wind surfing, at the Diving School and some others like Billiard, Darts and so on. The hotel has also trips out of the hotel for every day like 'night fishing' or 'island hopping' and after Dinner the Hotel organises Live music or Disco night. We are also impressed of the complete facilities, the hotel has its own power house and technical department, really amazing. And also very important to mention is the security ... we have felt very secure, at every time and every where. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GREAT TIME WE HAD, WE REALLY ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH AND HAD MUCH FUN.…

This resort people don't even know what they offer, They never provide any late lunch and for that you have to pay for lunch if you reach there after lunch time, doesn't matter it's your fault or airlines schedule or anything. They don't provide any dental kit in washroom and for that you have to a huge amount to buy such things. Even they don't even provide any tissue box in the room. Their diving school is full of unprofessional guy. They take deposit of 100 USD if you want to rent any snorkeling equipment which cost 14 USD/Day as rent. Without the room each and every corner of the resort is really hot, specially the dinning and reception.

This is beautiful, calm, relaxing piece of paradise in the Indian Ocean. We had a fantastic stay for three nights and wished we had more time. Embudu village is a small island with its own house reef with a healthy coral reef, teeming with different species of reef fish. Even the large lagoon area by the beach - just before the reef is great for snorkeling - for beginners / non swimmers. The island itself is lush and green. Plenty of places to sit and relax with a book. The restaurant serves delicious buffet meals with different daily themes for dinner - from Asian to Italian. It includes several action stations with barbecued dishes, pasta, etc. The bar is a lovely place to relax. Do try the sun deck by the bar to have your cocktails/sun downers while watching the sun set. I would highly recommend staying in a water villa as these rooms are super comfortable and just over the water with amazing views of the reef and ocean. You will be able to spot reef fish from your room/ balcony - including baby sharks - if you are lucky.!! The staff at Embudu are fantastic. From the front office, to the restaurant/ bar, housekeeping - service was excellent, personalized and went beyond our expectations. Our airport transfers and excursions were smooth, comfortable and right on time. We will definitely be back. …

We experienced a wonderful stay at Embudu Village. The island is small and you can walk around it in less than 20 minutes, the atmosphere is authentic and simple. It is the perfect place to sit back, relax and enjoy the sound of small waves gently crashing on the beach. The rooms are simple but they have everything you need; there is no TV but I don't feel like you need one when you are in a paradise like the Maldives. Food was very good. The restaurant offers something different at every meal, the staff is super friendly and always caring to the guests' needs. A big shout out to Hossain, who waited on us for the whole week and made us feel like we were always home. It was my first time snorkeling: I really enjoyed looking at the fish, swimming close to the reef, and especially swimming with sharks and stingrays thanks to the Diving Center located on the island. The Center has well prepared and professional staff, and it gave us all the information needed to experience the sea in a safe and fun way. I would definitely go back. …

We stayed for 13 nights and it was way above our expectations, we could not fault anything. 3 stars is so disrespectful for the whole experience, we have stayed on 4 star and above resorts in the Maldives and this place out shines all of them. The most relaxing laid back place ever. Food was plentiful with with a huge variety and something to suit everyone. Our beach villa was immaculately clean every day and so comfortable with an excellent A/C and wi-fi and a with a wonderful outlook meters from the sea. The island is compact, you can walk all around it in 10 mins with loads of wildlife and a sea thats full of an array of Sealife, snorkelling isnt really required to see most of it. All the staff were welcoming and approachable and were more than happy to make sure you had a wonderful stay. Leave your glad rags at home and kick off your shoes as they wont be needed, just unwind for the duration. we would definitely recommend and return in a heartbeat. …

We had 7 nights in room 75 a superior beach villa, which had everything we needed and was literally on the beach and then 3 nights in a water bungalow, which again had everything we needed and the views out to sea were amazing. The rooms were clean and comfortable with great air con, maybe a little tired looking but nothing more. Our room cleaner Ali Husain was great and always very courteous. We went all inclusive and absolutely loved the food with such a selection available to suit all. Thsleem our waiter provided such a great service to us at every meal time and is such an asset to the company. The bar staff were so efficient and always looked after us - again a great credit to the company Amith & Bhardu. The ladies in the spa were excellent and would recommend the Adam & Eve massage which left us feeling relaxed. Finally, a huge thank you to Rasheed and all the staff so many to mention for organising the surprise (for my husband) of Renewal of our wedding vows on Valentines Day, (sorry for all the emails) the beach venue was perfect and decorated beautifully, the service, the drummer, the photo's and the meal on the beach - a day we will never forget. The sea life is amazing with a huge variety of fish, sharks and turtles seen just from our deck. We will definitely be returning and please send our thanks to all your staff in helping to make this such a memorable holiday.…
