The food offered is really good, and the booze is strong which is always good. The pool and beach areas were great, and the fitness centre was fairly good for a short holiday work out.

The pool bar was a great addition, but bit of music would have been much better to relax and enjoy. The staff was excellent, really lovely; however we did notice the communication between them was rather poor which led to a lot of confusion when trying to plan different things.

Good sized room with ceiling fan & air conditioning, nice comfortable bed. Lovely pool area. Also a good sea front with tree shade & loungers. A beautiful beach "Bounty advert style" is within a 5 minutes walk. Delicious food with plenty of maldivian/asian dishes spiced to perfection. live music twice a week (Great Band). Exceptional value compared to island resorts.

There was a pier about two hundred & fifty metres away, which the huge stone barges moored to for the lorries to collect stone from for sea defences and island development. - giving a little noise pollution at times. (Hopefully this is a temporary thing).

All inclusive deal , drinks were limited choice but not unexpected , Big Thank you to Sogath and Nasro who looked after us really well . Food choices were very good , a couple of themed nights would be an added bonus , the Reef fish was always on the menu and always excellent as were the curry choices but plenty of options for non spicy food lovers. European meat options could be a bit more tender. The Equator village is part of the old RAF Gan establishment, historically there's so much more that could be made of the site from a guest perspective , a historical tour of the site maybe and more information about the site? Obviously if you're in the Maldives you're there for the ocean , the snorkelling was excellent with the house reef being literally yards off the beach , great snorkelling. Daily boat trips to go snorkelling to other areas are in the all inclusive as are a couple of other trips . The hotel has bicycles to loan , free on all inclusive deals and you can cycle up through the Atoll for about 10 miles . All in all a great place to visit.

Unfortunately , outside the control of the Equator village, was the offloading of a construction barge which disturbed the peace and tranquility of the resort ( it's only a temporary problem and is due to finish very soon ).

Helpful friendly staff. Abdulla Fahmy was particularly helpful managing our bokking and organising domestic flights and transfers.

We booked full board which didn't include any drinks, NOT even water with meals.

We choose this resort due to the great house reef, which exceeded our expectations with its awesome marine life (turtles, sharks etc.).This place had everything we wanted of our holiday: air-conditioned rooms close to the beach, good breakfast, good cleaning, great swimming pool (though the reef.was more important to us), good gym and a professional diving center. This was our 2. holiday in Maldives, and this time we expecially enjoyed to be on a local island and learn to know the local people and culture. (First holiday was on a hotel resort island). Equator Village is great value for the money! Special thanks for the super-friendly staff!

Beach location, pool, food

The hogging of chairs by a certain national group renowned for this type behaviour.

A wonderful resort with its own pool, house reef for snorkelling, gardens, dive centre, generally great staff and interesting history.

The Resort was the right place for us as it was quite ans calm. We also leant that it is important historical symbol of addu city. The staff of the resort was very friendly and ready to help at any occasion possible. The GM of the resort Mr. Waheed was very kind and welcoming. In fact he was at arrival point which ensured us that we will be provided with the best experience. Details given to preserve nature, cleanliness and assissiblity of services was amazing.. My family and I definitely had a wonderful time there..
