Riu Palace Maldivas

My holiday was stay riu palace 🇲🇻 thy was my favorite place ever I had it because of the bar team speally sanju I was mentioned here made nice cocktail for us and another team member same Desy , Camika Dasun ponnum Thanuka Chamod pasy puja thank you all make my holiday,

From arrival to departure, the experience at the RIU Palace was perfect. We had booked for 13 nights in early July 2026. We booked a beach level room for my wife, daughter and myself. We arrived in the evening and had checked in online, so check in was swift. We were then taken to our room. We entered and it was very nice with a large bed and a sofa bed made up for our daughter. Everything was well appointed and included towels, robes, bathroom and shower sundries, fridge (with water and soft drinks renewed daily) and optics with 4 types of spirit alcohol. We had been travelling a long while and went for dinner. The buffet restaurant was a short walk from our room (110). The food there was of a great quality and lots of options. Service from the friendly and attentive staff was excellent and we ate there every night except for 2. Those 2 nights we ate at the Krystal and Yu Hi a la carte restaurants, both providing a very tasty dining experience. Before and after dinner we would visit the bar and listen to the relaxed evening entertainment. The bar served international branded spirits. Each table had a QR code for the drinks menu and all service was to the table. If you wanted a coctail not on the menu, the staff would happily make it if they had the required ingredients. The waiting staff in the bar were extremely friendly and happy, wanting a chat (if time permitted) and ensuring they learnt your names to make a return visit more personal. We woke the next morning to the most beautiful view from our room. Being a beach access room, we opened the doors onto a small veranda, then onto the beach, with the sea around 20m away. There are plenty of sunbeds and areas for shade or sun worshiping. The sea was a lovely temperature and perfect for snorkeling, with the water very calm. We spent most days relaxing here, with walks to the pool. The pool sits behind the main bar and includes a swim up bar with some seating. We would regularly walk here with access along the beach and have drink or two and a chat with the bar staff. Every day the rooms are cleaned, towels and bedding changed on request (towels on the floor if wanting changed and for bedding leave a card on the bed). The cleaning person would do something each day for us to come back to, be it a towel animal or a palm/flower arrangement. A lovely touch. Overall we highly recommend this holiday and hotel. The location is breathtaking, the staff the best we have encountered in all out travels, the food and drink complemented the perfect surroundings and even this time of year, the weather was great (with only 1 sign on rain over just short of 2 weeks).

6 Stars – An Unforgettable Experience at RIU Palace Maldives! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the service at RIU Palace Maldives was simply world-class. I have traveled to many beautiful places, but I have never experienced such a genuinely friendly, helpful, and service-minded team. Every single staff member greets you with a smile, remembers your preferences incredibly quickly, and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and special. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Their warmth and dedication truly set this resort apart. The food is outstanding from breakfast to dinner, with an incredible variety of choices every day. The quality of both the food and beverages is exceptional and consistently exceeds expectations. Every meal felt like a culinary experience. The rooms are impeccably cleaned, and the entire resort is maintained to the highest standard. Everywhere you look, you can see the care and pride that the staff take in creating a true five-star environment. Even the drivers transporting guests between the islands are incredibly friendly, professional, and service-oriented. The island itself is paradise. The breathtaking surroundings, crystal-clear water, and peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect place to relax and recharge. Having access to RIU Atoll as well adds even more value and variety to the experience. What impressed us most, however, was the people. From housekeeping, bartenders, restaurant staff, drivers, and receptionists to every employee we met along the way – every interaction was positive, genuine, and memorable. The staff are the heart and soul of this resort. We would not hesitate for a second to return and spend another vacation here. RIU Palace Maldives delivers not only a stunning location, but also an unforgettable experience through exceptional food, outstanding service, and truly remarkable people. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special. 6 stars to every single one of you! We will be back. 🌴☀️💙
