Beach holiday
March 2013

This was our 3. stay on embudu since 2010. We were 2010, 2012 and now evenly february/march 2013 and the development the island in the last few years good monitor. The hotel embudu village finally has over fully renovated superior bungalows. The standard bungalows are still on excitement hostel level. We had a superior, more about that later. The hotel and the rooms were always the tropical circumstances reasonably clean. Room service came in the morning and in the evening. The audience consisted mainly of guests roof, as well as a few french, british and japanese. It is full board ... and all inclusive were offered. We booked full board, since all-inclusive only worth it, if you have a lot of alcohol drink. We arrived in spite of the on the Maldives strong risen taxes and levies on circa 400 Euro at additional costs for 2 people in 2 weeks. This included 6 bottles of water per day, 2 time Cola per day, 1 times beer per day, now and then ice or a cocktail at the bar and 2 times Cola Light per day (not in all inclusive!). All inclusive is often only from circa 400 Euro surcharge per head to have, could for us not worth it. Unfortunately, the all-inclusive stay having gained. There is now some Ballermann-guests, the already in the morning in the bar the edge and then lunch my their naked beer belly in the restaurant push to have. This leads under circumstances whimsical situations between Ballermann and hotel staff. read more

We had for the first time a renovated superior bungalow. We stayed in a section, the already before 1.5 years completely renovated. Sadly one saw also here already the first signs of decline, because not properly cleaned. The joints in the shower are full of mold, parts rust and the paint was crumbling already again. The furniture is nor in good condition. The soundproofing of the walls, the in the previous years we knew, and which the neighbor almost breathe could hear, we couldn't confirm. Probably you with some bungalows the sound absorption improved. Apropos sound... Minibar and air conditioning are developing a noise level, the engine room of a ship reminds. If you stay here no gehörschaden has, should ear plugs or similar carry forward, otherwise is not to be thought of sleep. Speaking of sleeping... The new mattresses are as already often described of concrete and what is worse, the pillows the flauschigkeit of zementkissen. As were the saggy mattresses and pillows clearly better. Seems at all the only improvement on earlier in these rooms the air conditioning to be, which is mounted was, that they not the bed blows.
Gastronomy
3.0

There's a restaurant. In the evenings, food issues enough, for example italian, mongolian, bbq... Etc. 2010 we were happy, the food to 14 days not more enjoyable to have. 2012 we were very surprised how much the kitchen improved had, which preparation, as well as selection was concerned. This year however we had the impression as if everything again developed backwards so. In the lobesgesang many other opinions here so we cannot agree. Lots of dishes for the european taste much too hot, the supposedly international prepared. Also the selection was taken. The dessert looks good, but tastes often after nothing at all. If you love that kitchen excellent finds, must ask themselves, excellent in comparison to what? Fertigfutter? Canteen? Or the food on the plane?
Service
5.0

The employees are still all friendly and accommodating, no matter wether it is a gardener or manager at the front desk it is. English one should be able already, if you want to communicate. Only a few staff spoke a few phrases in german. Room cleaning in the morning and in the evening, not western standard.

There is no pool on the island. But the indian ocean, and we for diving also used. The competent basis means diver country. Overall, we had 12 days non-limit diving and are so with its own equipment on about 40 $per dive come. Without own equipment, as a beginner, if you have a guide needs, with boat trip and so on. However, you can actually almost 100 $for a tg are charged. What the nearby riff and the ecosystem concerns, we also here unfortunately a deterioration noted. When we 2010 for the first time on the island came, was embudu for his baby sharks known and there was good 8 piece of it in the lagoon. Last year there were only 2, this year no more. Also on the reef do you need a lot of luck, if one times a teenage or adult schwarzspitzenriffhai to face get wants. The schooling fishes have clearly decreased. Who embudu already longer knows, will this as we very regret this. Who for the first time on the Maldives fly, is still lots to see received.

Embudu located near the capital male. The shuttle from the airport with the dhoni. Most dhonis now have a greater mechanization. The transfer lasts around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the wind and waves. There is no animation on the island, only disco on sunday from 21:30 to 24:00. On wednesday the diving station a slideshow. Excursions, such as island hopping, fishing or shopping in male can in the hotel be booked. We were however only scuba diving on the island, therefore have no the desk used.
