Riu Palace Maldivas - All Inclusive

The staff are amazing very friendly food and drinks are great Atholl side is more lively than palace side but both are great

This is the best hotel we've ever been to. The food was fantastic, cocktails were fabulous, staff so helpful and friendly. A dream 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.

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.

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

We enjoyed our stay at Riu Palace. It was a bit of a long journey to get to the island but staff helps you along the whole way. There was a bit difficult communication in our situation as our domestic flight was cancelled and we weren’t notified of this but eventually it was sorted. The vibe is very much charter holiday which wasn’t super appealing to us. But overall we had a nice stay and staff was friendly.
