Eriyadu Island Resort

The staffs all friendly, amazing location, delicious foods feel like heaven.

Ở lại sáu đêm và thấy hoàng hôn tuyệt đẹp. Nước trong xanh tuyệt đẹp, kem socola thơm ngon, hướng dẫn lặn đẹp trai, đặc biệt thuyền trưởng và nhân viên phục vụ thân thiện. Phòng sky view biển chúng tôi ở, phòng 106, nằm ở một vị trí rất tốt, có làn nước lớn trong xanh n*** ngoài cửa, hàng dừa bên cạnh vừa phải, nhiều người nước ngoài sẽ nằm trước phòng chúng tôi. và phơi nắng... Khách sạn có phục vụ người Trung Quốc, nhưng nó chỉ mới có vào đêm qua. Tôi gặp cô gái Miến Điện nói tiếng Trung rất giỏi... Tôi nửa hiểu vì tiếng Anh kém, nhưng không hiểu được không ngăn cản tôi tận hưởng kỳ nghỉ tuyệt vời này. Có một điều phải nói là giá lặn khá đắt, hahahaha. Về nhà chăm chỉ kiếm tiền rồi lại đến ngắm nhìn làn nước trong xanh này.

This place…. Lived up to all of our expectations, having read a good few reviews, which give you a very balanced account of what you are paying for. It’s not 5* luxury but we didn’t pay for that (there are plenty of these type of resorts around if that’s what you are after). It is a bit rustic around the edges but feels so authentic, it’s a paradise island you can lose yourself for a week or two. A wonderful house reef and abundance of sea life. The amazing staff run a well organised resort, it’s clean, tidy and very comfortable without being pretentious. Everyone has a happy approach to all of their tasks. Whatever their role, they work hard and are positively attentive. When we had issues with a cancelled Emerates flight and became stranded at Malè Airport at the end of our holiday, we contacted the resort as we needed somewhere to stay and the airline would not assist at all, despite being full and very busy, they were able to organise everything including our same room for the extra two nights. They could not have done anymore to help us. Special mention to Eriyadu’s wonderful meet and greet lady on D3 boat transfer desk at the airport and Govinda and Moonin at the resort for co ordinating all of this for us and really helping us out at such a chaotic and difficult time for us. Eriyadu is very much deserving of their 2023 Trip Adviser award, they really are true stars!! We would totally recommend this island for an authentic Maldivian stay and super staff that help make a holiday great!

We have just spent a truly wonderful 10 days at Eriyadu 🏝️🏝️🏝️ All the staff are fantastic - whether it be the reception, the bar, the restaurant, the room service or the grounds keepers …. they are all super efficient, super friendly and super polite. The house reef surrounds the island and whether novice snorklers like us or experienced divers there was something for everyone - with its own dive school with specialist diving excursions. We saw so many wonderful fish … and turtles too !! 🐢🐢 The island is only a 45 minute boat trip from Male airport and Eriyadu has its own speedboats to shuttle guests to and from the airport. This is perhaps an older resort and some reviews may say the rooms are a little tired - the rooms are perhaps a little dated - but the bed is big and very comfortable, air conditioning is great, there is plenty of storage, bathroom is big we had double sinks bath/shower plus a separate shower open to the skies above, a great terrace, walk out terrace to soft sand and the beach, and even a separate outside door direct to the bathroom with outside tap to rinse the sand off your feet before going in. This place is barefoot living and takes relaxed to a whole new level - for sure it doesn’t have the rooms on stilts or plunge pools and slides to the sea - but what it does have in genuine character makes up for that and is an absolute gem.

incredibly gorgeous, simple. The island is 50 mins by speedboat from Male airport. (The airport is on the water) Excellent service begins from the second you arrive. The rooms are comfy and air-conditioned and is closer to 3 star plus than 4 star - but the food service and everything else is definitely 4 star PLUS. There s nothing to do but relax. Basic waterspouts (snorkelling & kayaking) is included with AI deals. All food basic drinks and snacks are also included. Everything is provided to make your stay comfortable. There's even some evening entertainment , simple fun stuff. Great for relaxing - not much to do for kids and therefore- very few kids!

A wonderful resort. The sand is soft and the crystal clear turquoise sea is warm and irresistible. Our villa (215), was spacious, lovely hot shower, great air con, comfy bed and tea/coffee and water constantly replenished. It opened straight onto the beach. Friendly, helpful staff, delicious food and everything was spotlessly clean. An excellent atmosphere in The Blitz bar of an evening. A good range of drinks if you're All inclusive, but check first before ordering. The staff went the extra mile for my wife's birthday. A perfect week. Thank you.

We stayed as a couple and had a totally relaxing time, food was lovely, snorkeling amazing and just such a beautiful place to stay. We met lovely people and it felt very friendly. As others have said the rooms need an overhaul..we had laminate floor which was water damaged and easy to stub your toes on...but the beds are huge and sooo comfortable and always clean. Outdoor bathroom was fabulous..something a bit different. View from our room 221 stunning. We would absolutely come back and would like to thank the staff for their friendliness and efficiency. We had a wonderful holiday and were sad to leave....

Eriyadu Island Resort was everything we hoped it would be. We had an overnight flight in and were met at the airport by the Eriyadu team who took us to our speed boat and we were on the water in less than 30 minutes, we did meet people who had to wait a couple of hours though. The speedboat took just under an hour across bright blue sea, we were given a bottle of water each on the boat for the journey. We arrived at the jetty to a friendly welcome from reception staff and porters. We were taken to reception for a cold drink and a cold towel. Check-in was super fast and hassle free, the porters took us to our room (221) and the bags arrived minutes later. The room had a huge bed plus a single bed that a child could have used, a wardrobe, drawers, a desk and a fridge plus a couple of comfy chairs. Outside had two wooden chairs a table on the deck and two wooden sunbeds with mattresses and hanging rack for wet kit to dry. We had direct access to the beach shared with 220 through privacy provided by palm trees. I would suggest that 211 - 225 all had similar and if I was returning I would request a room in that group. The air conditioned room was cleaned twice a day, which sounds excessive but with all the sand it was a good idea. Towels and bedding changed every other day. The bathroom is not airconditioned because the shower is open air. This was a great experience, showering with the sun on your back. We had the All Inclusive Platinum deal (there are three all inclusive levels so check this out before you book and choose the one that suits you). This included a mini bar of soft drinks and beer in the room. I asked for the beer to be changed from Carlsberg to Saigon on day one and that was done for the next 10 days. The Platinum deal included premium bottled beers (Peroni, Estrella, Corona and Saigon in cans), the basic all inclusive was just draft Carlsberg. The cocktails were also significantly better on the Platinum deal as were branded spirits and better wine. One day we had a bottle of sparkling wine delivered to out room too. The food was delicious. Some people complained that it was too spicy and they weren't used to that but we really enjoyed it. The restaurant got very hot though. Nobody dresses up for dinner and you certainly won't need any shoes, everybody was in flip flops or barefoot even in the restaurant. I especially enjoyed beetroot curry and the fish curries. We missed breakfast most days and had a late breakfast of coffee and croissants in the main bar, the coffee was much better in the bar. The Platinum deal had a range of fruit juices and smoothies included which we also had with breakfast. We met a vegan lady and the chef went out of his way to make sure he catered for her. We snorkeled on the house reef nearly every day. the snorkeling equipment was free for the duration of our stay from the dive centre. We saw an array of bright fish, sharks ranging from small black tipped reef sharks to so

This place has beautiful views which is what you look for in maldives, the sea is stunning but apart from this, I unfortunately would not recommend this hotel. The “all inclusive” option is extremely limited, there is a number of options you can’t get access to and I understand this is quite common in a lot of hotels but the limitations are quite a lot, to the point of not being able to get iced coffee.. We decided to upgrade to all inclusive plus to get more drinks but then when we tried to order a drink from the upgraded menu at the bar near the pool (which is the place you’d rather be at as people like to have a drink by the beach) we then got told “oh sorry this drink is only available at the other bar”.. I’ve never been told this at any hotel so it’s disappointing especially in a place like maldives. The food is also ok, nothing special. My partner told them it was my birthday and they came up to me to say “when you’ve finished your main meal let us know and we’ll bring your cake” this totally ruined any form of surprise element The staff overall however are very welcoming here but things overall could be improved quite significantly
