Still thinking about paradise two weeks later, and thinking about booking again - we would give this holiday 10/10 in every aspect. The beach bungalows were perfect as they were ideally placed on the beach, a few metres away from the ocean (a quick dip with the sharks before breakfast is a great way to start the day!) Speaking of... more

We've not long arrived back from totally relaxing holiday. Just what we wanted although if you expected to be entertained you need to look elsewhere. Embudu is a small island with little else to do than eat, sleep, swim, snorkel or dive and read - lots of books. We had a superior room with air conditioning which was very adequate... more

We visited Embudu in November 07 after 11 annual visits to a couple of other islands. It is the lowest price for the Maldives and we did not expect luxury as the water is the main attraction. The rooms were quite adequate though pretty spartan and two bedside tables would have been useful. Balancing your cup of tea on a... more

Island wonderful but hotel and guests not. I agree with the negative comments previously, over run by sun bed hogging Germans and idiots that bring toddlers and babies to a place like this, may be because its the cheapest resort. The island is small and very nice, with an abundance of fish in the warm clear water, 7 days is... more

We flew out at the end of March. The weather was perfect the whole stay, with only 2 rain showers at night and were a welcome relief. The boat was kept company by dolphins and flying fish on the journey to and from the island. Our arrival was pain free, greeted with a cocktail and luggage taken to the room.... more

We returned from Embudu yesterday and I decided to get this info on straight away. I was checking tripadvisor daily before I went and you get a very good overview of the Island. This was my 3rd trip to the maldives having previously visited Meeru and Summer Island. This is by far my favourite and if I had to choose... more

Have just returned from 2 weeks on Embudu Island - Maldives (Feb 2008) - This is a 3 star Island - but I have no complaints - The rooms are basic and could do with a bit of a refurb - but clean and quite adequate.The Island itself is just about the right size - takes about 15 mins to... more

We (myself and my wife) came back from embudu just over a week ago. I will split my review into a number of different aspects..... Food: Really not bad at all, as always with buffet some of the standard meals (something pasta something rice and a couple of meaty things) became a little tedious, but the quality was excellent considering... more
