Hotel Riu Palace Maldivas

One of the best, if not best, hotel we’ve stayed in. Fabulous serene location, clean rooms, vast food selection from all cuisines of a high standard. We had a villa on stilts with a pool and the sunsets were phenomenal. Breakfast in the pool a must. It’s all the staff who are the jewel in the crown on this island! From the moment we arrived everyone had a smile and could not do enough for us with suggestions, service. Hospitality is their middle name. We wish we could mention everyone: Adhi was the epitome of a professional manager from the minute we met her, with a warm smile at every meal and brimmed with suggestions that we’d never have know about. She can help with the Riu App too which you book restaurants through. Whilst all great, the Fusion and Steak restaurants deserve a shout out. Wonderful a la crate, service and food in an all inclusive! Lenir, Annabelle and the team remember your names and our choice of beverage at the breakfast/lunch/dinner tables. Authentic smiles and a genuine warmth upon greeting you every day. Jenson was out of this world putting together a birthday romantic dinner on the beach for us. Attention to detail of set out, food and his professional service was second to none! A magical experience he just elevated, Riu are lucky to have him there! Sachin, Marchee, Poonum and the entire pool bar staff are incredible! They have it all covered no matter the time of the day! The ocean is truly turquoise blue, the snorkelling great, clean rooms. And the violinist who plays at sunset with beautiful acoustic sounds just created the most perfect and relaxing ambience. Thank you! We loved it. We are Sat writing this as we get ready to leave and thankful for the wonderful time on the magical island by all at Rui Palace Maldivas. Thank you, we will never forget our time here made so memorable by each end every one of you. We cannot recommend Riu Palace Maldivas enough

Would definitely recommend this resort! The staff were friendly, an amazing truly attentive. The staff are very personable and they remember who you are. We had a great time for our honeymoon! We will be coming back for sure!

My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon there. This is probably the first hotel that looks just like in the pictures, or even much better. True 5 stars without any compromises. A beautiful facility on a paradise island with clean sand without any algae, which is amazing! The water villa is worth the extra money! Beautiful modern and undamaged hotel. The equipment exceeds expectations. The minibar with drinks and beer is replenished all the time, and the alcohol dispensers are a great thing and you don't have to leave the room because everything is right there. The swimming pool on the terrace is amazing, especially in the evening when you don't want to go into the ocean in the dark. Room service works very well and is included in the price, if you want something off the menu, the staff doesn't have a problem and is happy to bring it to you. The food in the restaurants is absolutely amazing! There are countless items you can't finish. Everything is delicious. Large selection of fresh seafood. It was the first time that the All inclusive formula was so extensive and the dishes were as tasty as those ordered a la carte in the best hotels. The nicest, most helpful hotel staff I have ever encountered. They approach each guest individually and always remember you. They don't let you order from the bar because they rush to do it for you and tell you to relax. The waiter Amida was amazing. Meleks drive around the Island all the time and every time you walk on the pier, they take you to the house or restaurant. Our part of Riu Palace was five-star and was definitely different from the four-star Riu Atol. It was much quieter here, alcohol was more expensive, there were no children, and the service was also better. Riu Atoll, however, was overrun by tourists from Ukraine and Russia. I recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to have a good rest and is looking for the highest standard. We are glad that we chose this hotel for our honeymoon, which the staff knew thanks to Mrs. Paulina from the Coral Travel travel agency. The staff didn't forget about our birthday either! Great thing!
