Riu Palace Maldivas

We had an absolutely wonderful stay in the Maldives! The island was truly incredible, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. The service was outstanding from start to finish, from the housekeeping team who kept our room spotless to all the lovely staff in the restaurants. A very special thank you goes to the amazing guys working at the pool bar. Their friendliness, kindness, positive energy, and constant smiles made our trip even more special. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and created some of our best memories of the holiday. I would especially like to mention my favourite, pasi.nico.jesica.Roshan.SJ (supun) bharata. Sujith who deserves a special thank you for making our stay even more memorable! ❤️ Thank you to the entire team for such an unforgettable experience. We had the best time and would love to come back!

Loved the place, everything was pitch perfect. Staff was nice, the rooms were clean, the food was good and in general it was just a perfect vacation.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel, and the staff made our stay even more special. A special thank you to Yomi, who works in the kitchen at the Palm Restaurant. He was always so friendly, kind, and helpful. He went out of his way to help us with the food, explain the different dishes, and make sure we felt comfortable and welcome. Yomi’s warm and caring attitude truly made our holiday even more enjoyable. The hotel itself is excellent, with delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a fantastic all-inclusive experience. A big thank you to Yomi and the entire team for making our stay so memorable. We hope to come back again soon!

Our 5th and Final Visit to RIU Palace Maldives – Sadly, Standards Have Dropped This was our fifth visit to RIU Palace Maldives, a hotel we have loved and returned to over the years. Unfortunately, this visit was by far the most disappointing. We noticed that the hotel has a new manager, and sadly, the overall standards seem to have declined significantly. The staff appear less attentive and often distracted, and the level of service is simply not what it used to be. One noticeable change was during the themed evenings. In previous years, staff would come to the tables and offer drinks, making guests feel welcome and well looked after. Now, guests have to go to the bar themselves. It might seem like a small detail, but these little touches were what made RIU Palace feel like a five-star resort. The hotel also looks less well maintained than on our previous visits. Overall, it feels as though the attention to detail and quality of service that once made this resort special are slowly disappearing. After five visits, we feel genuinely sad to say that this was our last stay at RIU Palace Maldives. We have wonderful memories of this place, but unfortunately, it no longer delivers the experience we once loved. The Maldives themselves remain as breathtakingly beautiful as ever. The turquoise ocean, stunning beaches and natural beauty never disappoint. It is the hotel, not the destination, that has let us down this time. We truly hope the management takes guest feedback seriously and restores the standards that once made RIU Palace Maldives such a special place to return to.

It was exceptional and super. Especially at the pool bar
