  “12 nights in paradise”

  We had an absolutely amazing stay at RIU Palace Maldives for 12 wonderful nights. Everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The food was excellent with a great variety every day, and the four à la carte restaurants were a real highlight — each one felt special and consistently delivered top quality. The resort is also incredibly well maintained: spotless cleanliness, perfect housekeeping, and impressive attention to detail throughout our villa and the entire property. But the biggest added value of this hotel is without any doubt the staff. The team is genuinely kind, welcoming, and helpful everywhere you go. Everyone speaks great English and always tries their best to make things easy and comfortable. A special thank you to Ana, Sanju, and Paju at the Paradise Bar — they made our days even better with their warm energy and outstanding service. We also truly enjoyed a jet ski trip with Fadi (name starting with “F”) — it was such a fun experience and one of the best memories from our holiday. Overall, RIU Palace Maldives gave us the perfect mix of luxury, comfort, great food, and incredible hospitality. We would love to come back again.

  “Grateful”

  My name is Nina, and I want to speak directly to the RIU team who stood with us during the most devastating moment of my friend T’s life. What was supposed to be a beautiful vacation turned into unimaginable heartbreak when T received a call from the United States telling her that her son had passed away. In that moment, everything stopped. I didn’t know how to help her, how to hold her grief, or what to do next — and I was deeply afraid for her. You stepped in with compassion, calm, and humanity when we needed it most. Andy, you did not just do your job — you got down on the floor with T, stayed with her, consoled her, and made sure she was safe when she could barely stand. Your presence, patience, and kindness brought calm into absolute devastation. I will never forget what you did. To the security officer who stood quietly outside her room for hours — thank you. Your silent compassion, your protection, and your respect for her privacy spoke louder than words ever could. To the gentleman who immediately tried to help us secure an earlier flight home — thank you for moving with urgency and care when our world had stopped. To the front desk team — your condolences were not just words. You ensured medical support was on standby to help manage T’s high blood pressure, showing genuine concern for her health and safety during shock and grief. And for me — thank you for making sure I was not alone. You supported me while I tried to stay strong for my friend, checked in on me, guided me through the next steps, and reminded me through your actions that compassion still exists. In that moment, RIU became more than a hotel. You became a place of safety, dignity, and real human care. During the darkest moment imaginable, you treated us with empathy, patience, and heart — and for that, I will always be grateful. Thank you for showing us what true hospitality and humanity look like when it matters most. Thank you All

  “Amazing”

  Just returned following 12 night stay with 8 and 2yo and had an amazing experience. The rooms were immaculate, and the entire island was maintained to an exceptionally high standard — everything felt pristine and beautifully cared for. The staff truly made the stay special. Everyone was warm, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. The restaurant team were outstanding, especially with allergies; meals were freshly prepared for our daughter, which we greatly appreciated and gave us peace of mind. Special call outs to Edi the Chef and Shifaz, the restaurant manager for being so attentive. The beaches were stunning. We regularly saw baby black tip sharks and plenty of fish right from the shore. We also so regularly saw stingrays as well as some adult sharks. We also went on a dolphin trip and were lucky enough to see lots of dolphins, which was a real highlight of our stay. The only minor downside for us was the water sports. The snorkelling trip didn’t quite compare to other islands we’ve visited, mainly due to poor visibility, but this didn’t take away from the overall experience. Overall, it’s a beautiful island with exceptional service, attention to detail, and a truly memorable atmosphere.

  “10 days in paradise!”

  10 days in paradise! If you’re considering a stay at RIU Maldives, I’d definitely say it’s worth it. Everything is done to an outstanding level by an amazing, large & friendly team. Our room cleaner Sameeya, always left our room immaculate with amazing new towel art every day. The restaurant staff all ensure you have the best meal and experience, Najah mainly served us most days however everyone in the restaurant is very attentive. All of the bar team, Anu, Poonum, Puja, Triushan, Teguh and Sanju were especially great just to name a few but all are incredibly kind and interesting people. I ended up trying a lot of “special” cocktails and not one missed the mark! All the food we ate was incredible, always a large selection in the buffet at all three meal times and the speciality restaurants were also a great experience. The island itself is beautiful and you’re able to see some of the sea life close to the beach. It goes without saying, we would love to come again in the future. The whole experience is so well thought out, but it really is the wonderful team that make it so special!!

  “Fantastic place”

  Excellent Hotel/Resort everything exceeded our expectations. First class service, the staff really make your holiday special. The bar staff are a great team always greeting us with a smile and go out of their way to accommodate all your needs so hard working. Puja is very attentive an excellent member of the team there is also Chamod and Desy and ask Pasi to show you his dance moves,that names just a few. But each and every staff member made our holiday special for us. Our room cleaner Chamara was exceptional too and gave us wonderful towel art everyday and a spotless room to come back too. Could not fault any of the food in any of the restaurants or buffet.
