We have just returned from the gorgeous Island of Eriyadu. We spent 10 days there & feel this was the perfect amount of time. From arrival at the airport to farewell from the resort the staff were amazing. Always someone around to answer any questions or inform of any issues. We had a lovely room, 306, which allowed us to walk straight from the room, on to the beach & in the sea. The room was very clean & has everything you need. Taking an extension lead was a good tip as the sockets are not in the easiest of places to get to. You do not need any adapters as all UK 3 pin & also 2 pin for toothbrush chargers & USB were already thought of. The beds are huge & so comfortable, I had some amazing sleep which was very much needed. The restaurant was always clean, tidy & welcoming. The food choices were vast & I never left disappointed. The salad combinations were interesting & all worked, I will be taking some inspiration from the chefs home with me 😋 The grill Chef was amazing, especially in the morning with the Omelette order. We were very well looked after by John, he made sure we always had a table & knew where we liked to sit under the ceiling fans if possible. He always had a smile & greeted us so warmly. Special mention also to Rayhan & Noorey, who also made sure we had everything we needed. A great team. Now the best bit, the beach, reef & drop to the ocean!! Wow, I didn't really know what to expect. The only way to describe the reef, is like snorkelling in an actual aquarium. So much marine life, fish of every size & colour swimming all around you. We swam with sharks 🦈 I did have to remind myself to breath the first time one came up the drop, face first looking at me, they do just swim straight pass you 😂 The turtles 🐢 they are so graceful & we were very lucky to spot a ray on our last swim too. The beach is white sand with lots of tiny hermit crabs, which gave us hours of amusement watching them moving around & making patterns in the sand. All the better watching with a cocktail in your hand too 😉 Whilst relaxing on the beach, keep an eye out on the water, as we were treated to a pod of dolphins swimming by 🐬 Finally, the reason why 4 & not 5 stars is because of the work being done to upgrade the Island. We were told by Blue Bay that this would have none or minimal disruption to our holiday. No heavy machinery & limited hours of work & only the upgrade to the Dive centre. Unfortunately, half way through our holiday this was not the case at all. There are several areas of work going on. One was a few rooms down from us & sometimes the noise did grate on me but I just grabbed my snorkel & took myself off. Then a large digger arrived along with construction material to start on a new jetty. We were told by resort staff that this should be a couple of days but this is still going on as we left & feel it will be like this for quite a while to come. The final 2 days the work started at 8.30am & did not stop until after 7.15pm!! The disruption in the water did making our final snorkelling a little murky. However, we have returned home with some amazing memories & met some wonderful people. If you are going soon, try not to let the work spoil your holiday & just get out in the reef quickly to melt any concerns away. Read less
