Ottima scelta, vicinissimi a Male, solo 20 minuti di traghetto, atollo che giri in 15 minuti, bungalow molto carini immersi nella vegetazione, barriera corallina raggiungibile a nuoto, con innumerevoli tipologia di pesci, compreso squali, razze e tartarughe, ristorante ottimo con scelte che variano ogni giorno, dolci eccezzionali. Scelto pensione completa senza bevande ai pasti che comunque non hanno un costo eccessivo(usd. 3 acqua, usd. 4 soft drink, usd. 6 birra). Ti fanno avere in camera gratuitamente due litri di acqua ogni giorno. WiFi presente in tutta l'isola. Fatto una sola escursione quella degli squali e razze, ha solo 10 minuti di traghetto ti immergi nel mare e trovi un infinità di questi pesci ( costo usd. 60 a persona). Isola che ci è rimasta nel cuore

Contrairement aux nouveaux hotels des Maldives qui sont très artificielles, Embudu est nettement plus authentique. Les nouveaux hotels sont en fait des iles artificielles sans une vrai végétation ni de barrière de corail. Embudu est parmi les plus vieux hotels des Maldives, mais il est bien entretenu et a été rénové (on l'avait visité il y a 15 ans, et les progrès ont été considérable). Si vous souhaitez vraiment vivre l'expérience Maldives, c'est plutôt ce genre d'hotel qu'il faut prendre. Ce n'est pas un hotel luxueux, ce n'est pas sa prétention. Mais les chambres sont propres, correctement équipés, la literie confortable... En dehors de dormir, on ne reste pas dans sa chambre, donc que la chambre soit luxueuse ou pas, perso, ce n'est pas ce que je cherche. Côté restauration, c'est du très bon niveau. C'est varié, c'est frais, on se régale. Il y a de la cuisine traditionnelle maldiviennes (assez épicés) et de la restauration plus conventionnelle avec un thème différent chaque jour. En 10 jours, on a vraiment gouté un nombre incalculable de plat et on a toujours apprécié. Pour la St-Valentin, il y a un évènement spécial et on a eu droit à des gateaux en forme de coeur... D'ailleurs, parlons des desserts.... Entre les fruits frais et de bonne qualité (mangue, goyave, pastèque, melon, etc...), les gateaux, tartes et autres mousses en tout genre et la glace, le dessert était souvent un repas à part :-). Bref, côté gastronomie, Embudu est très bien placé. Pour ce qui est de la plage... Oui, ce n'est pas parfait. L'ile est authentique, donc parfois selon les marées, la plage se rétricit drastiquement. Mais on trouve toujours soit un endroit bien exposé au soleil pour faire bronzette ou au contraire trouver un coin ombragé à la plage. On n'est jamais serré, il y a de la place et on a souvent l'impression d'être seul à la plage. Le lagon est très grand, on conseille largement le port de sandale de plage pour éviter de marcher sur un bout de corail. Dans le lagon, on trouve des coraux bien vivant, des poissons en masses.... Quant à l'extérieur de la barrière de corail, c'est exceptionnelle. Sans être un nageur émérite, on peut voir des requins, des tortues, des raies, et bien sur des centaines de poissons de récifs dont les couleurs sont tout simplement incroyable. C'est cela que nous étions venu chercher aux Maldives, et c'est ça la richesse d'Embudu. Pour les quelques points négatifs : la présence de la Mosquée à destination du personnel de l'hotel est un peu proches des chambres 1 à 8. Du coup, la prière matinale peut être gênante. Maintenant, je suppose qu'on peut demandé à changer de chambre. Au final, cela nous a réveillé le premier jour, puis on s'y fait. Toujours sur les chambres 1 à 8, c'est proche du bar. Il y a des petites soirées tous les 2 ou 3 jours... C'est pas la grosse discothèque, loin de là, c'est d'ailleurs plutôt familiale et sympa, mais bon, après une grosse journée de nage, on n'est pas forcément fan du bruit de la musique jusqu'

For a 3* resort this is great value for money. Highlights: 1. the staff are exceptional, restaurant, bar, main desk, cleaning & spa. They really can’t do enough for you! 2. Sea life, the reefs around the island and teeming with fish and sharks, you don’t have to snorkel far from the main jetty to see a nurse shark! So much to see and so close to the beach. The food was really tasty, in my opinion there’s enough choice without going overboard. The menu rotates each week, with themes every night. My only area of feedback would be that perhaps having some cold meats at the salad bar at lunchtime would have been a good option if you didn’t fancy a hot meal and wanted some protein. But really the food was fantastic. We stayed in a beach bungalow, yes it’s basic and a little outdated, but the rooms are clean (& cleaned every day) and comfortable. We’re never in the room unless to sleep/wash really so this didn’t bother us, there’s a safe which is free to use, towels changed regularly and beach towels are provided also. We did get an upgrade for our last day to the water bungalows and it really was stunning, highly recommend if you can afford to or get the chance to experience it! Thanks again for giving us this wonderful experience! We stayed all inclusive and again the options for the bar were ample. Draught beer or cans, house wines (bottled) a selection of cocktails and all fizzy drinks are in cans, the only beverage on draught is the beer which was decent too. We did treat ourselves to a cocktail from the main menu a couple of nights, the bar staff really enjoyed the theatrics of the flaming Lamborghini! The island is about 20 minutes from Male airport but it was still really quiet and peaceful, there was the odd plane going past and a few sea planes every day but honestly not noisy or disruptive like some comments I’ve read suggest. We used the dive school, again all very friendly and knowledgeable, happy to give suggestions on where best to snorkel etc. My partner did his open water diving certificate and we also did the Sting Ray city, loads of sting rays and nurse sharks in the water when we went, highly recommend you give it a go! Spa: My daughter and I had a spa package and the treatments were fantastic, the massage was a new experience for us but very enjoyable. I think the spa could be better promoted, there’s 1 small plinth with a board on it just past reception, otherwise you maybe wouldn’t know it was there. To see the menu and prices you need to go round to the spa where they have folders in most languages to look through. Overall we had a fantastic time at Embudu and would highly recommend to anyone on a budget who enjoys exploring the waters or wants some diving.

Hôtel médiocre ne vaut pas le prix dépensé. À part le snorkeling qui est extra! je n’ai pas aimé cet hôtel. Les chambres sont rudimentaires, mais bon c’est un détail vue la beauté du paysage! Elles sont accolées et très mal insonorisées. Les repas sont toujours les mêmes en buffet mais peu variés. Le personnel n’est pas sympa pas un sourire.. Le spa les massages sont horribles! J’étais déjà 8 fois aux Maldives mais cet hôtel n’était vraiment pas bien. Pourtant les commentaires sont assez positifs..peut être est ce parce que j’ai connu mieux😋..

Très belle endroit, entretien irréprochable, un petit coin de paradis. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la végétation abondante de l'île. Les employés sont aux petits soins pour vous une note particulière pour le jeune homme MD HOSSAIN qui nous a servi au restaurant tout au long de notre séjour. Il est très professionnel plein d'attention et d'une extrême gentillesse. Merci Md Hossain pour votre sourire et votre travail irréprochable. Nous reviendrons

Une petite île magnifique, toute en simplicité ou l’on se sent connecté à la nature, notamment avec un snorkelling incroyable ! Les logements sont très agréables et le notre n’était qu’à une vingtaine de mètre de l’océan. Un pur régal. Le restaurant est également très bon et varié avec un stand « épicé » pour les amateurs. Le personnel est vraiment sympa, plus particulièrement md Hossain qui s’est occupé de nous au restaurant pendant notre séjour. Il anticipe même nos demandes au fur et à mesure de notre séjour , au top 🤗 merci à lui !

My wife and I had a great time in Embudu! It’s an experience you expect when you talk about the Maldives, but with an affordable price. The island has all the comforts you expect from a resort, such as: diving (you have a diving center which can provide you with all necessary instructions, equipment and even lessons for certification, which I got), water sports (such as cannoo for example), various tours (diving/snorkleing and also other island visits) and beautifull beaches. The food is great (they have different themes for meals on different days) and great staff. I would like to single out 2 people who left us with great impressions: - Md Hossain, a waiter who has been incredibly kind, pleasant to talk to, fast in his work and helpfull in giving information about all our tours or anything we asked him about. - Siddharth Raju who has been my diving instructor, gave me great lessons, taught me a great deal about diving and enabled me to get my certification. Also, a great person to talk to in general. All recommendations for this island in general for whoever is looking for a great Maldivian experience in a resort but is on a budget compared to other resorts.
