Riu Palace Maldivas- All Inclusive

it is an amazing place… most impressive was the arrival, to see this beautiful water and the White House’s.. you have to know, that there is a Shop were you can get some souvenirs and usual things like creams for the sun, Red Bull, chips and other snacks the other Atoll which is 4* had all the events held there. it also is a very nice staying place. the most difference from the 4* and 5* are: 5* is the main restaurant so it is closer. also is the 5* calmer and there are less people on the island 4* is more for younger people I would say, because of the events and there is also the sports place, gym, sports bar + both had a pool and a pool bar + both had amazing beach spots + both were very clean in all facilities the arrangement for arrival and departure was perfect, they took all the work for you and you couldn’t go „lost“ food: everyday and every time the food was different and not boring or same things. so there’s food for everyone. I’m very picky so I had every time something to eat.

Went SOLO to get away from the city and cold weather and this is what I made of it: Staff: They are always extremely useful and kind. You will feel the respect and the love they give you. Facilities: Buffet restaurant is exceptional with unlimited choices of food. The gym is fine for someone that just wants to work out a little bit while on vacations. Note that it does not have a barbell. I didn't swim much in the pool but it's very beautiful and fun. The room is minimalistic and I loved it. It was also very nice waking up to the beach view. Cleanliness: The cleaners did an amazing job and your room smells extra nice after they clean it. :slight_smile: Comfort: Not much to say about this, it's obvious I was at my most comfortable stay there lol. Value for money: I'd say this experience is priceless and this is probably the most value for money resort in the Maldives. The cost is lower than the majority but it offers more than other resorts. (don't forget it's All Inclusive) Food: I can't stress enough how amazing and healthy the food was. You can eat whatever you like whether your on a diet or not you can find everything there. Make sure to thank the chefs for their amazing job. Extra: Transport from airport was smooth, the scenery was unbelievable. Everything is thought out by the staff and all goes according to clock work. Also I loved the jet ski activities and the instructors were very nice and cool dudes.

We had an amazing stay at this hotel. The best part of our experience was the staff: cleaners, waiters/waitresses, maintenance staff, (the man with the slingshot!), reception staff, entertainment staff, chefs, buggy drivers (sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone)! It was so personal, delightful and the conversations with the staff didn’t feel at all forced- they were so genuine. The hotel was spotlessly clean- our room was cleaned to an exceptional standard everyday. Simple delights such as constant fresh towels and water available was amazing. The location is perfect and the food delicious. The palace was a perfect haven.

The place is so beautiful and clean.

We came for our honeymoon, it was our first all inclusive experience and first time in the Maldives. We had the best time of our lives . The room was lovely and big. The beach was beautiful and the water was breathtaking. The food at the buffet restaurant was delicious and so many options. The alcohol was nice and strong and got to try some yummy cocktails. The buggy service was great especially in the heat. All the staff were amazing and kind.. Special mention to Aminda, Singhe and James who were always happy to see us and made us feel special every time. We didn't bring any cash so when we couldn't get cash on property to tip these amazing people we felt so gutted. We really appreciate all they did for us so please let them know. We hope to be back soon.
