The prices of the diving center are very high. In particular, the surcharge for the Tiger Shark point of USD 40 per person is incomprehensible. We dived this spot twice from the Carpe Diem and of course at no extra cost.

Extensive breakfast buffet. Many German guests who come just for sun and beach but serious divers too.

I didn't dive as I went on a safari boat afterwards. I can't judge the dive center and sites, but they had to be filled out.

After a week liveaboard, such an island is very small... food looks great, but taste is very flat (desserts taste the same despite different appearance); staff is obviously not happy, only the minimum is done.
Next time somewhere else! Not recommended ????????

We got an upgrade for a water bungalow . Was really great
The island used to be only for divers
We had the feeling that the majority of the guests are approaching retirement age and are not here for diving.
The garden bungalows are not recommended.
No Maldives feeling

We had a problem with our room: in itself, the room was not finished at all. You noticed that it was very old. Because of the heavy rain, it was raining inside. We got another room immediately. The difference between these two rooms was enormous.

Very nice quiet island, pretty hotel, plenty of space for everyone with so to speak own beach section and hammock. Rooms nice and very functional except for closet which offers good storage just for one person. For two it is complicated. Food good, staff very helpful. All inclusive pays off for sure. Dive center very expensive, advantage to explore the reef around the island with buddy, with reef shark guarantee, eagle ray, wreck, coral garden, etc.. Baby shark lives under the water bungalows. Wonderful island to relax. only 20 min by speedboat from Male.

Price to quality ratio excellent. You should not compare it with 5* resorts. But for 3* excellent service. Beautiful house reef and many dive spots at 5-15min by boat. The only downside I found was sharing your table for lunch/breakfast/dinner.

Small but fine island without frills, perfectly adequate for a pleasant stay. We were there primarily for diving and can recommend the base and the dive sites.

Occasionally the staff was reserved, service sometimes changeable.
The canteen feeling in the restaurant (volume, ambience) was a total contrast to the beautiful island, which absolutely lives up to the ideas of the Maldives.
The bar area was great. Special requests were immediately responded to in a positive manner. Bottom line, always worth a trip and recommended.

free water bungalow upgrade has pleased us, sandbags and concrete walls partially protect the island, so there are unfortunately visually also less beautiful bungalow locations. Food very varied and delicious, but also a little buffet canteen atmosphere, snorkeling: many colorful fish and black tip reef sharks come close to shore. But don't kid yourselves: the house reef is 95% damaged by El Nino, grey scree slopes, really sad and distressing sight, island can be snorkeled around completely in about 60min. Good value for money, Male in sight, the large beaches and sandbanks are partly gone, old aerial photos deceive about the current state.

Large complex, which therefore does not exactly convey the alone-in-the-paradise Maldivian dream. Barefoot island with palm trees, mangroves, white sandy beach, turquoise blue water. Bungalow so far i.O., however ringhörig, one hears partly the neighbors speak. Dining room reminds a bit of a canteen. Food is repetitive, fish and meat often dry and cooked through, various curries and local specialties, small dessert buffet with very sweet puddings, creams and mousses. Some fruits also available. All inclusive cocktails and mocktails moderately enjoyable as alcohol-heavy and syrup is used instead of juices.
Price-performance ratio acceptable.
House reef nice and mostly intact. We had black tip reef sharks on every dive. Current sometimes more sometimes less. Philosophy of the diving center does not correspond completely to our taste. There are dive packages, but many things are charged extra, e.g. boat dives extra, guide extra, Nitrox extra, depending on the day tour extra. We like to dive with a guide, but because of the costs we have renounced to it, also boat dive we have therefore taken only one. For beginners or those who want to do many boat dives, possibly with a guide, it is very expensive to dive on Embudu.

Summer Island instead of Embudu, due to closure of the island

Everything is great and always happy to do it again!

The Embudu Village I can recommend to all who want to make very good and cheap holidays in the Maldives.
The island is only 20 minutes by boat from Male. It is natural and yet very well maintained and clean, which makes its charm.
The room was cleaned every day and the food was extremely satisfying.
There was a theme night every night with something for everyone.
The service staff were all very friendly and more than accommodating. And for a little joke every now and then to have.
The adjacent bar was open 24 hours and had a very cozy indoor area with lounges and offered us the opportunity to play table tennis / billiards.
The spa area of the island offers a variety of massages and also manicure, pedicure.
There is also a gift shop and jewelry store.
The 100 dollars for the PCR test for the departure has taken over the resort, which we have also found very obliging.

Very nice resort with beautiful house reef with sharks, GTs, turtles and small wreck right outside the front door.
Nice water bungalow, clean, good service. Tasty food from buffet, European and reginal cuisine. Fishing and snorkeling trips are offered but only if there is enough participation.
The dive center offers everything you need, but the big minus point is the opaque pricing policy: lured with unlimited diving at a fixed price, but is initially concealed that you pay extra for Nitox, as well as for each boat trip and also VAT and service fees are incurred, so that the diving in the end is twice as expensive.

Great atmosphere on the island, only relaxed people and reasonable protection concept!

a small island near the airport. This makes a short transfer possible, you can see the planes, but there is no disturbing aircraft noise. The rooms are spacious, good, but not luxuriously furnished. But as one is hardly in the room anyway (after all, the big bathtub is in front of the door), there is no disadvantage to be seen here.

The rooms (water bungalow) would have to be brought up to date. Otherwise, the diving around Embudu is wonderful!
