This was our first vacation in the Maldives with my husband. Words cannot describe the heavenly pleasure we experienced! A stunning hotel, with everything you need in the rooms, an exit from the room directly to the beach - white, warm sand - you can literally walk barefoot all over the island! The island itself is small - you can walk around it in just 5-7 minutes. Along the way, you can meet crabs and herons) The reef is unimaginably beautiful! It seems we saw thousands of species of fish - from small to large, from black and white to multi-colored. What can we say about reef sharks and stingrays! An unforgettable feeling when you swim literally half a meter from them! We advise you to definitely take snorkeling masks and fins with you, and you can snorkel all day long. The hotel staff is very polite, friendly, always smiling and ready to help at any moment! I would especially like to mention our roomboy - Abir, he was the one who greeted us every day with a dazzling smile, and did an amazing job of cleaning the room! All the food was delicious, varied, and the waiters were polite. We were served by a lovely girl, Nuzufa, who did her job perfectly! In the hotel bar you can watch the breathtaking sunsets, as well as enjoy delicious drinks and chat with the friendly staff. From the excursions we took sunset fishing - we were lucky and caught several fish, which were prepared for us for dinner the next day) We also highly recommend trying night snorkeling - at first the idea of swimming in the night ocean with sharks and fish seems scary, but believe me, the sharks and fish don't care about you) Therefore, as Elsa, a girl from the dive center, says, "enjoy it!" It is worth noting that on the territory of the hotel there is a small souvenir shop with everything you need - sunscreen, toothpaste/toothbrushes, towels, swimsuits, various souvenirs, etc. Also, in rainy weather you can go to the gym or play table tennis or billiards) In general, we give the hotel 10 out of 10, thank the staff for an amazing holiday and wish you further prosperity! We hope to return to you next summer) Read less

Had a great week relaxing on this small, friendly island. The boat trip to and from the island takes around an hour. The boat crew are friendly and helpful. Food on the island is well cooked and tasty. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all buffet style. The restaurant staff were very attentive without being intrusive. Our beach bungalow had recently been refurbished and was kept clean and tidy by the room attendant. The only downside was that the bathroom was completely enclosed, so could get rather hot during the day. The house reef was great for snorkeling, with plenty of coral and a good variety of fish including the occasional reef shark. It is possible to circumnavigate the island in less than an hour. There was some refurbishment being done on parts of the island, but this did not impact on my enjoyment. Will definitely return in future. Read less

Overall a great experience! Starting from the transfer from and to the airport (smoothly organized and well assisted) to the island itself, with breathtaking sandy beaches and aesthetic spots. The meals were nice and well cooked (especially the fish) and the room service was professional. The experiences offered by the structure are varied and well organized, our personal highlight was the snorkeling at a nearby healthy coral reef, even though the house reef is colorful and full of fishes, turtles and small sharks as well. Worth noting is the kindness of Eriyadu’s staff, always smiling, welcoming and ready to help. A special thanks to Sagor, Nuf and Nemesh for the friendly small talks and professionalism. Read less

We had a great and relaxing stay at Eriyadu. Fantastic snorkling with helpful and friendly Staff at Eurodivers. Our room was nice and kept spotless by Monowar. Really good and varied food in the restaurant where we were warmly welcomed and taken care of by Nuzufa. We would love to and hopefully will return some day.
