Our holiday at Riu Palace Maldives gave us a completely unexpected wonderful bar experience that became one of the biggest highlights of our entire trip! All the bar staff here are incredibly warm and friendly, with none of the stiff formality that’s common at luxury resorts. I especially want to give a huge shoutout to Desy, who is such a lovely and thoughtful person. Every time we sat down at the bar, she would come over to say hello right away. She not only checked if we were satisfied with our drinks, but also asked how our day out had gone, and genuinely cared about how we were enjoying our whole trip. Her sweet, sincere hospitality made our entire vacation feel far more cozy and welcoming. Last but not least, I have to thank all the amazing team members—Sanju, Fernando, Chamika, Samee, Puja. Every one of you brings unique energy and great dedication to the bar, and you always greet every guest with warm smiles and thoughtful service. You turn every casual visit into a wonderful, comfortable experience, and you’re exactly the best team that makes this bar so welcoming and unforgettable. Encountering such genuinely warm service during our getaway really elevated the quality of the whole trip. We will absolutely come back to this spot next time we visit the Maldives, and we have already been recommending it to all our friends who are planning their own Maldives trips.

The very best part was the bar. Whole crew work incredibly organized, very polite and always on point. We would especially like to thank Desy for her delicious cocktails, she figured our taste in two cocktails and we went on with her suggestions afterwards- just perfect. The hotel is located on two very close islands that are connected by a bridge which houses Riu Palace water villas- in which we prefered to stay. I would easily say, this was the best holiday we have ever had, amazing view of the ocean and always a perfect sunset… We would like to thank Zaain - always arrived to a perfect room with fun towel origami! And finally, we would like to thank Gio -our scuba diving instructor for his patience and effort, we had an amazing time underwater.
