“RATS! bats, hidden costs and terrible staff! How to ruin an honeymoon”

Jan 28, 2026Claudio C

You dream a paradise island with privacy and relax? Here our experience! We booked on Booking and the price showed was around 550$ room + 200$ “tax and costs” generically. No other costs were mentioned. At check in they ask other 240$ for other tax and “transportation” (95$ p.p.) so basically the double the price with no transparent policy! After this warm welcome we found this situation: more than 80 bungalows in line, in an island of 10 mins walking! No privacy at all and you need to “fight” every morning to take a plastic sunbed because there are not for all in good position on the beach! Inside, the bungalows need a deep cleaning and renovation and are equipped with basic furniture and cheap plastic shower. And if you think to see wild animals around you be prepared for RATS next to the bar!!! I traveled 70 countries and many exotic beaches and never see a rat in my life! Here 3 in 2 days! Horrible! And All this for 500 $/night like a 5 star rate in Europe! Scandalous We report everything to the staff and they don’t care at all with a rude and unfriendly attitude. Luckily we go away after 2 days and we got a great experience in an other island but 6 days here could be a tragedy for an honeymoon dreamed all life and paid like a top luxury experience. AVOID this resort better to pay more for real exclusive experience or go in an authentic guets house for cheap price.

“Snorkel and chill”

Jan 27, 2026moyoulu

This was our second trip to the Maldives. Embudu is not a luxury resort but it still feels special. The lack of unnecessary frills, such as televisions and a swimming pool, mean that the natural surroundings take predence. Unlike many islands, Embudu has kept much of the natural landscape. As you would expect the beaches are wonderful. There is a beach outside every bungalow but also a larger beach, where all guests can go. There is no shortage of loungers. You can snorkel straight from the beach, around the island. The reefs are marked with red flags and it's quick to get to most of those. You can easily see reef sharks, turtles and all kinds of fish. We went fishing and dolphin watching, which were both fun and reasonably priced. Our room was basic but fine, with a great view to the beach. The bed was pretty hard, which didn't bother us but could bother some. Food was good - certain dishes, such as the fried fish, barbeque and the South Asian section, were excellent. The European food options are decent. Drinks are reasonably priced. A local band came one evening and were pretty good. It's best to take the full board. Service was excellent. I chatted to quite a few members of staff and it was nice to hear that they're treated well by the management. Embudu has lots of information in both English and German. The majority of the guests were German or Italian and were mostly quiet and polite. This is a great, laid-back place.

“We feel really well at Embudu; our 4th visit.”

We stayed just for a one week break this time, in one of the bungalows. Very relaxing, nice helpful staff, plentiful buffet meals and excellent snorkelling on the lovely house reef; plus 3 boat trips for snorkellers from the dive school. We love it here and will return as soon as we can.
