    Overall we recomand the island especially for the persons that love snorkeling and marine life

    Boat transfer – it was a really disappointing and bad experience, especially on return to Male. Also, from my point of view, it is a very expensive service for a group transfer considering the average salary in the country (at this price it should at least be a private transfer).

    Snorkeling around the island is absolutely beautiful. There are significant variety of corals and fish, turtles and sharks, and other marine life – for us this was the main reason for choosing this resort and we were not disappointed Vegetation of the island is good developed and offer shadow from the sun almost everywhere Food was good and tasty, also we liked deserts (they served different flavored pana cota that we enjoy at lunch and dinner) Even the island is small they manage to arrange a small gym for the clients There is a diving school that offer a large service variety, including some interesting trips: in the season you can see manta-ray, which can be a really special experience. Check-in was very fast, 15-20 min we received the room.

    I was expecting something more "shining" from a resort (hard sliding door, old airco) but overall, considering the price of other resorts, it was not too bad

    great location, the house reef is very good, and the dive shop crew very helpful, knowledgeable and fun!!

    I didn't like the rooms, they need renovation. Many details, such as the pier, need to be painted, and there are missing boards at the viewing points. I do not recommend the trip: dolphin watching trip. there were no dolphins and this could be forgiven because it was cheap at $26, but the search time only lasted an hour. Another trip, looking for Mantas. The cost is as much as $108. We didn't see any manta rays either. The organizer explains that they used to be here, now they are gone and you have to pay the full amount for them... they have no agreement with other resorts where they saw them, even though each resort offers the same trips. I don't recommend it, seeing them is almost a miracle. the staff stands on the boat and looks around for some time and looks for Manta without any contact with other people, while other resorts also have staff riding on a jet ski who helps in the search. nothing here! In the option without Allinclusive, drinking water is charged! while the juice is included in the price… on the island, the prices in the store are huge, I recommend buying souvenirs at the airport on your return

    The beach is very nice. Coral reef easily accessible. The price is favorable compared to other resorts.

    The only thing I didn't like was the very slow internet, for example, posting stories to Instagram was a challenge. I recommend buying a SIM card with a data plan at the airport. Looking at it from the other side - I used the Internet less, so I enjoyed my vacation more. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether this is an absolute disadvantage. But checking in for the return flight was almost impossible because of the slow internet. My advice to hotel managers is to renew the furniture in the rooms, as they are outdated and show signs of use. But that didn't stop us from enjoying the great vacation.

    Absolutely perfect place for a great vacation! A very wide selection of food, lunch and dinner - perfect! Many and different offers every day, I recommend choosing full board. The employees are very kind and welcoming, as well as responsive. The beach is perfect, clean, the flora and fauna are very diverse and colorful, you can meet various special creatures. The room is cleaned every day. I totally recommend this place, it exceeded all my expectations! I really liked it, thank you!

    The A/C in our Deluxe Beach bungalow wasn’t working. They first came & checked the inside unit, but it cooled for maybe a couple hours. Later in the week they came and replaced the inside unit. That wasn’t the problem either. Our last night we sweated out a 29° C night. Before checkout, we advised strongly that they NOT put anyone in that room until they checked the main A/C unit outside.

    Just a 50 minute speedboat ride from Male. Food selection was good, with mostly local fare. Staff was EXCELLENT. If you dive, like we did, there aren’t many visitors talking advantage of the AWESOME dive staff and boat dives with no more than six divers each day.

    Very slow wifi - I recommend buying a sim card at the airport Not very good English of the staff

    The beach is amazing, it is clean, white sand, turquoise water - just like in the Maldives. The room was also nicely clean, spacious, very comfortable bed. The staff was kind but unfortunately could not speak English that well. It was often quite difficult to communicate with them because they did not understand. The wifi there was almost unusable, if you need to work, I recommend buying a sim card at the airport. But overall I absolutely recommend this place. The resort is not luxurious, but you can't ask for that at this price. But it gives you all the Maldivian style just because of the nice bungalows by the ocean. In terms of price/performance ratio, it's definitely worth it.

    Drinks very expensive as was the excursion although that was undoubtedly the best experience we have ever had in all our snorkelling.

    Eriyadu is a beautiful unspoilt resort with an excellent reef so ideal for snorkelling and diving. It is an older resort but charming and clean. We loved it. We went on an excursion to snorkel with Nurse Sharks which was indescribably amazing and the dive staff were exceptional. If you love nature and snorkelling, it is paradise.

    The hotel itself is very basic and old. There is only one restaurant, the food is quite tasty though. The villas are very basic, there are no shelves for clothes, cockroaches can be found inside the villa, only shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom

    We liked Eriyadu a lot! Definitely recommend the place. The island is wild the nature is well preserved. Close to the airport abt 1 hour with speed boat. Island reef was breathtaking we loved it. The service was great. The rooms were nice and clean. The housekeeping cleaned the rooms on daily basis and adjusted to our needs without asking. The diving center were very professional definitely recommend them. The massage ladies were very nice and good as well. looking forward to comeback!

    There is no doubt - the hotel needs renovation. Some of the furnitures in the common areas (restaraunt, beach bar) are outdated. Same appllies for the sunbeds. The service at the bar is pretty slow at busy times. Order a single beer sometimes tooks more then 10-15 mins.

    Transfer was in the morning at 11AM. The room was ready straight away and we manage to check in pretty early, which was great. Our room was spaciuos and comfortable. The all inclusive pack includes rent free snorkel set for the stay and also a free landry service, which is very nice. The island is really small, but truly beatuful. The coral reef is amazing. Lots of colourful fish, turtles, baby sharks. Snorkeling is really nice. Both sides in width of the island has a great sandy beaches. Food is nice and deliciuos. Fresh fruites and veggies are always available. Good variety of options. Great service at the restaurant. Waiters are quite fast. The main beach bar is pleasent. The AI pack includes good options of drinks. Our return flight was late in the evening. The transfer was arranged accordingly, so we get a late checkout, which was great.

    Check-in was very long and unpleasant. After a long journey, we would like to relax sooner, instead of filling out all kinds of papers, looking for the times and numbers of the flights home. It could also be done later. Also when paying in cash, it was not stated in advance that they do not accept old dollar bills. We found this out only at the time of check-in, which caused problems to pay. If all the formalities were postponed until the evening or the next day, the impression of this island would be much better.

    The island is beautiful, green. The food is good, the cocktails included in the AI are also good. Seaview Sky Rooms on the 1st floor are very good, with an exit to the ocean. In the rooms on the 2nd floor, the view is not the most beautiful and there is no direct exit to the beach. Snorkeling equipment is included in the AI and can be used throughout the stay at no extra charge. A glass bottom kayak is available for a small fee.

    The staff did not always understand what was ordered. Slight sewage smells every now and then. The open roof shower caused a lot of leaves and water to be on the bathroom floor after the rain. Although the furniture and fittings are a bit dated the room was still very comfortable. WIFI was extremely slow even with us acquiring a Maldivian simcard.

    The house reef for snorkelling was absolutely pristine. The dive centre was very professional and one of the neatest that I have ever seen. The staff can be commended for their very friendly service. There was a good variety of dishes to choose from on all meal services.
