Eriyadu Island Resort

Just normal

The resort is really good considering its price. We have visited many islands in the Maldives, but this one stands out as being particularly nice. The lagoon is beautiful, and the sand, beach, and water are absolutely perfect. It's worth mentioning that not all islands in the Maldives have such nice beaches; for example, the neighboring island does not. I also want to mention that the chef is amazing. As a vegan, he was able to accommodate my dietary needs and provided me with fresh vegetables three times a day. If you enjoy karaoke, they have it every evening around 9pm. The only downsides were that the snorkeling gear rental was quite expensive (51 USD for the two of us for two days) and they didn't refill the water in our room. Oh, and the variety of fish and the house reef are perfect for snorkeling.

The rooms may be a bit outdated, but I noticed that some of them have been renovated. The staff is extremely friendly and the bar offers a wide selection of drinks, including great beer. The island itself is one of the most breathtaking places I have ever visited. This resort is perfect for those who truly appreciate a peaceful and serene island with stunning beaches and affordable villas. I highly recommend disregarding any negative reviews as they are not accurate. I want to express my gratitude to the entire hotel staff for providing a flawless escape from reality. By the way, this hotel is also very accommodating for children!

The type of room you end up with can be a matter of luck. Some rooms have been renovated while others are quite old and have an unpleasant smell. Initially, we were a bit disappointed, but eventually, we were able to switch to a room that had a beautiful view of the ocean. The food is served buffet-style and was decent for breakfast and dinner. The dive center was excellent, and the surrounding reef and underwater life made the overall experience enjoyable.

It's a lovely resort for those who appreciate tranquility and prefer a less crowded island. The island itself was stunning and maintained well. The rooms were not in the best shape, but considering the price, they were acceptable. The bathrooms are open (without a roof over the shower), which allows bugs to enter. The food was delicious and the staff was helpful and friendly. Overall, we had a great time during our stay.
