RIU Palace Maldivas

Service from everyone was the the best and most consistent I received out all my travels, and I've been around. The restaurant and food was super good and the chefs made extra effort to ensure all out requirements were met. (For muslim/halal guests), please ensure you speak to the chef and staff regarding your requirements as the resort does have pork and alcohol at the restaurants. Advice: dont come to Maldives without an all inclusive or Full board option. Things are pricey in the Maldives, dare I say more expensive than dubai/Qatar. Rooms were beautiful and amazing, especially the overwater villas. The images you see online is authentic and is what you will see in person. The water is what you'd expect from the Maldives, clean, prestine and turquoise colour. The beaches are fantastic for swimming with warm water. (Don't forget your aqua shoes). RIU was overall great value and I would recommend them. My only put off was the spa which was super pricey and I felt the value was not worth the mediocre experience (but thats my view). Thanks to everyone at Riu Palace Maldivas

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything was excellent, from the perfectly organized pickup service to the incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. We would like to give special recognition to the kitchen staff. They were exceptionally helpful in accommodating a relative's strict gluten- and lactose-intolerant diet, making our dining experiences completely seamless and stress-free. Thank you to the entire team for the outstanding hospitality. We highly recommend this hotel!

If there is a heaven on earth it's here! Beautiful located with loads of serviceminded staff. The restaurants we tried were the Japanese, tha Asian and the Steak house. Lovely food, smiling and service-minded staff - a totally recommendable experience. The pool bar with all sorts of drinks. I couldn't find one Dasun couldn't make.

My stay at Riu Palace Maldives was nothing short of extraordinary, a truly world-class experience from start to finish. The property itself is stunning, but what genuinely sets this resort apart is its people. The staff here operate at a level of professionalism and warmth that I have rarely encountered anywhere in the world. Every interaction felt genuine, attentive, and thoughtful. Nothing was ever too much to ask. I have to give a very special shoutout to two individuals who made our dining experience absolutely unforgettable: Chef Edi and Chef Amin. These two gentlemen are culinary artists and true hospitality professionals. Not only did they deliver exceptional food, but they went above and beyond to accommodate every special request we had with a smile and a level of care that made us feel like family. Their dedication, creativity, and genuine passion for what they do elevated every single meal into a memorable occasion. If you are looking for a resort that combines breathtaking surroundings with service that comes straight from the heart, Riu Palace Maldives is it. We will absolutely be back. Thank you to the entire team, and especially to Chef Edi and Chef Amin, for making our trip so incredibly special.
