Nice Property With Awesome View
It is a nice place to sta. Beautiful landscape and view. Rooms are neat not luxury ones but good to stay. Only think which needs improvement is the menue of buffet Lunch and Dinner, After two meals it becomes very repetitive.

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.

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.
