Bucket list
Amazing hotel from start to finish, staff are very attentive and polite the food is amazing a great variety of choice . The theme nights are what you’d expect from Riu, chilled vibe or party at Atoll both well organised and entertaining . The rooms we stayed in were very nice we stayed in the beach room downstairs and walking out the room to the beach which was just beautiful and chilled, then we upgraded to the water villa which was also amazing with a bath and loungers and bed lounger on the balcony and watching the sunset go down in the evening was just beautiful. The rooms were very spacious with a mini bar and optics , the shower was just perfect 👌
We seen some fantastic sea life, mini sharks and a variety of other fish. We loved the pool bar for relaxing drinks the drinks were lovely 🍹we enjoyed a trip over to Atoll to have a go at the kayaks which was fun
We only tried the steak, Japanese and Italian’s restaurant’s which was delicious. The shop in Attol is way too expensive!! We didn’t buy anything. The Sport bar was very basic and very limited to one microwave not what I expected for a Riu. Staff are amazing and remember your name and welcome you like a long lost friend. We will be back ! Quick review I hope this is helpful

6 Stars – An Unforgettable Experience at RIU Palace Maldives!
6 Stars – An Unforgettable Experience at RIU Palace Maldives! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the service at RIU Palace Maldives was simply world-class. I have traveled to many beautiful places, but I have never experienced such a genuinely friendly, helpful, and service-minded team. Every single staff member greets you with a smile, remembers your preferences incredibly quickly, and goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and special. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Their warmth and dedication truly set this resort apart. The food is outstanding from breakfast to dinner, with an incredible variety of choices every day. The quality of both the food and beverages is exceptional and consistently exceeds expectations. Every meal felt like a culinary experience. The rooms are impeccably cleaned, and the entire resort is maintained to the highest standard. Everywhere you look, you can see the care and pride that the staff take in creating a true five-star environment. Even the drivers transporting guests between the islands are incredibly friendly, professional, and service-oriented. The island itself is paradise. The breathtaking surroundings, crystal-clear water, and peaceful atmosphere make it the perfect place to relax and recharge. Having access to RIU Atoll as well adds even more value and variety to the experience. What impressed us most, however, was the people. From housekeeping, bartenders, restaurant staff, drivers, and receptionists to every employee we met along the way – every interaction was positive, genuine, and memorable. The staff are the heart and soul of this resort. We would not hesitate for a second to return and spend another vacation here. RIU Palace Maldives delivers not only a stunning location, but also an unforgettable experience through exceptional food, outstanding service, and truly remarkable people. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special. 6 stars to every single one of you! We will be back. 🌴☀️💙
