RIU Palace Maldivas

Ana-Maria Toader

We just spent an amazing week at the Riu Palace Maldives and everything was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome, valued, and completely relaxed. We stayed in a beachfront suite, and it was incredible: spacious, beautifully designed, and just a few steps from the soft white sand and crystal-clear water. Waking up every morning to that view was something we’ll never forget. The food was exceptional. The buffet offered a wide variety of fresh and delicious options, while the à la carte restaurants were equally impressive. Every meal felt like a special experience, and the staff were always kind, attentive, and professional. The resort itself is breathtaking: peaceful, elegant, and immaculately maintained. Whether we were enjoying the infinity pool or not , sipping cocktails at sunset, or simply relaxing under the palm trees, it felt like time stopped in the best possible way. One of the highlights was the genuine warmth of the entire team: from housekeeping to waitstaff to the entertainment crew. Their smiles, energy, and dedication made all the difference. We’ve been to many beautiful places, but Riu Palace Maldives truly stands out. It’s a perfect destination for couples looking to unwind in luxury, surrounded by natural beauty and outstanding service. We’re already counting the days until we can return. Highly recommended! a slice of heaven on Earth!

You want to pay 5 star hotel rates but stay at a 3 star hotel? Then this is the place you are looking for. Edit: Service is amazing, staff is super helpful, attentive and nice. Food is great. Sea is pretty good. But the rooms are below 5 star standard. Also the gym is at the other hotel which you have to travel a fair bit of distance to get to where you will find very little equipment.

Excellent location, beach, sand,food. The best part about the Riu resort is the people. The staff is awesome everyone goes above and beyond.

Island was stunning, Staff by the pool were great. Management non existent even after we raised several issues. Claim to have a la cart restaurants this is a joke. A specialist steak restaurants that only offers one steak and it was the smallest piece of meat you will ever see. The Japanese asked if we had any alleges of which we told them mushrooms they replied with none of what you have ordered has Mushrooms. When the food came everything had mushrooms and the manager just smiled.

We had a wonderful family holiday at this fantastic resort. Powder white sands, beautiful turquoise waters, wonderful accommodation, great food and drinks. However, the best thing about this place is the amazing staff; always smiling, always happy to stop and have a few words, nothing is too much trouble for them. A credit to the RIU brand, they made our stay here more magical than we could ever have thought possible. Thank you all x
