Everything was amazing about this island and hotel specially the amazing staff everyone is willing to help and one person specially Yomi at the palm restaurant was always willing to help and do what it takes to make everything easy.
You guys are amazing thank you for making our stay the best!
My wife and I had a fantastic time at the Riu Palace. The hotel was clean, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was well prepared and there was a wide variety to choose from. There was ample entertainment in the evenings, and quite a few options at the bar. A special thank you to Desy at the bar, and the chef from the Cameroon at the Palm restaurant for making our stay so enjoyable.
It was a long journey for us but I will be doing it again. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Please have a few more buggies late at night running between the two resorts, as it is quite a long walk.
See you again next year.
We came here for our honeymoon, and first time out of the country, and needless to say RIU Maldives set the bar very high! From the activities, welcoming environment, great food, and amazing staff, it was one of the most memorable vacations we have taken. Our Jet ski coordinator Iham was fantastic and very friendly, got to see our first sea turtle because of him! The poolside bar with Sammy was magnificent, he was very attentive and makes you feel like a million bucks!! Thank you guys again for the experience!! We will be back!
We stayed at this resort for 5 nights in July and had the best experience!! Friendly staff, amazing variety of food and nightly entertainment! Defiently go above and beyond to make sure your stay is memorable. Beach 10/10, pictures definely don’t do justice.
Good service , nice people! perfect view from both island, good food, great experience, beter than what we expected!
My husband lost his mobile in the sea near the island Atoll while he was snorkelling. We reported to the hotel, after 30 mins it was found by Julia , general manager who is not on duty. We are really appreciate nice hospitality!
Riu palace helped create a memorable experience for this newlywed couple. We enjoyed everything, from our beautiful overwater room, to the food, to the amenities and excursions. The staff was very friendly and hard working. They took the time to memorize our names and our non alcoholic drink orders. This place stood out over many other places that I have had the pleasure of vacationing at.
This resort was unbelievably breathtaking. All the staff were extremely kind and helpful and went above and beyond to fit all of our needs. This resort was perfect in every way possible I will definitely be returning back here soon!!!!
Our stay at the resort was truly wonderful. Every morning, the breakfast was incredibly fresh and delicious, setting a perfect tone for the day. The bar staff were exceptional they took our orders with great attention and delivered cocktails promptly and with a smile. Their friendly and efficient service made our experience even more enjoyable, adding a special touch to our relaxing time at the resort.
This will probably go down as the greatest vacation ever.. from the hospitality the minute you arrive, the beautiful views, the amazing food & even better drinks this was a 10/10 stay. One of the biggest surprises was how organized their airport transfer was.. it could be a bit nerve wracking going from a plane to a boat without your luggage but everything was well taken care of and planned to the brim. RIU also did an amazing job setting up my dream proposal for my now fiancée and I can’t thank them enough. Anu & Puja were great at the pool bar. The buffet staff was great as well. Everyone greets you good morning everywhere you go & you truly feel like you’re in paradise. Don’t think twice about staying here.. I will definitely be returning in the near future. Thank you RIU for always being amazing.
Staff and resort was wonderful. Food options were good and plenty. Would definitely go back. The only thing that was lacking is the room service options.
What a lovely place, the staff were amazing, the grounds were kept clean everyday, the bar staff remembered your names, and what drink you like, same with the restaurant staff, the food was soo good, and plenty to choose from, we had a great house cleaner , he would make animals shapes from towels everyday, and he made sure if we needed anything, he would try and get it.
There are 2 islands on this property, first is the Atoll, more of a party side, 24hr sports bar, water sports activities, gym, spa, and themed nights,
Second side is th Palace, more for the quiet side, very peaceful, we did have live bands on every night, but only for a few hrs, which was great, two sides are joined by a bridge with the overwater bungalows,
On the palace side you have the sun rise side, the other is the sunset side, we were on the sunset side , but found this side was more windy and stronger flowing tides, so we changes to sun rise side which is very calm,
There are alot of coral and rocks as you enter the sea which was hard work on your feet, the soft sand after that, we took beach shoes, snorkelling was amazing, lots of fish, stingrays and a few turtles, we didn't think much of the overwater bungalows, as they are two far away from pool and bars, but we all have different tastes, a must is the guided jet skis, great fun and the guide tried to show us as much as possible over the hour tour, overall we didn't want to leave, but will revisit again
Loved the beach,beautiful property. The hotel was excellent, great room and food. Golf cart buggies would pick you up and take you next door to the other riu resort. We srayed in tge over water bungalow with orivate pool. The views were amazing, walk right off of the balcony and into the ocean room was a great size. Resort is very quite and relaxing.
This resort was a wonderful life experience. The resort and its accommodations were absolutely fabulous. The staff was very accommodating and incredibly friendly. I highly recommend Riu Palace Maldives for that one in a lifetime experience!!
Love our stay here! The views were beautiful and the staff was very accommodating. Would definitely come back! Highly recommend the overwater bungalow with pool! The food was okay but you are not really coming for food!
Water was extra crystal clear. Staff were so friendly and easygoing. Always have smile and great you. Would like to say that the food was amazing. The best riu resort that i have ever srayed.
We lucked out picking this place for our honeymoon. So presently surprised by how absolutely amazing it was. We got the overwater villa suite for 7 nights and the property, the staff, the food all exceeded our expectation.
This property was absolutely amazing!!! So beautiful, stunning, breathtaking. Could not recommend this place more! The perfect getaway to a beautiful destination! The staff was so friendly and helpful! I can’t say anything bad about this place or the people. I highly recommend! We definitely would love to come back!
