Baecation 2025

Bed wasnt comfortable, our backs ache every morning. Room service menu wasnt great, no variety. Music at the pools or events was out-dated and boring. Other than that service was great, everyone always smiling and helpful. Wifi did go out 2-3x but they fixed it asap. Beautiful location, got great pictures and able to relax/unwind. Met some great new friends.

We stayed in an over water bungalow Objective : beautiful island , clear waters , relaxing views . My experience : -Store employees follow black customers around despite others being in the store -poor and inconsistent drink qualities -limited food alternatives -5 star price without 5 star experience . Overall : Maldives views are beautiful , worth a one time trip , would not go again, definitely would not recommend this resort. Although I’ve been to many RIUs around the world , this experience made me decid to never stay at a riu again in any location or give them another cent of my money. Absurd amount of money spent to be treated so poorly. I’m sure we had a unique experience as we did not look like the other clientele, so I’m sure most guests enjoy their experience .

Staff willingness to help with any request was fabulous. House cleaning was perfect and requests were completed efficiently. Food was fabulous in Krystal restaurant (as was the service by Kreshmita) and very good elsewhere. For a small island, its amazing what they have achieved. Our only concern was in the buffet restaurant one evening when it was very busy and the food couldnt be replenished quick enough, so choice was limited. Bar service and choice of premium alcohol was very good, and I only recall re-asking for our drinks once, but they soon arrived. Sanju and Desy always kept us topped up and provided great service. The island is kept pristine looking by a team of hard workers trimming shrubs amd maintaing the beach. The wildlife was great to see, which we hadnt been expecting. We came for some rest and relaxation, and the Palace provided that in abundance. If you want to do more activities, then the sister Atol island is well stocked with livelier entertainment and good water sports. We snorkeled all the reef and had a wonderful adventure. From baby shark within 2 feet of the waters edge, to ray and sharks off the jetty pier it was a fabulous experience. We chose to go on the boat snorkelling trip at $75 per person. The service and safety was very good but the reef location was very poor. The reefs on the island were much much better and free. This left us feeling that we had paid for a boat trip. Everything considered, the Palace is very good to excellent.

This property is excellent. Beautiful place to spend a holiday in the Maldives. All staff are excellent and friendly. Resort is very clean and tidy. Food options for a la carte were good. Buffet food was very good. Much preferred the Palace side over the Atoll side as there was better selection of liquor, added food options, and it was quieter.

I have never visited a hotel where the staff where so nice and well rounded. No one had a nasty attitude absolutely no one. The food options are great and all inclusive. The only thing is that the Wi-Fi is not the best in the rooms, and that they do not allow drones. Besides that, this was our honeymoon, and we give a 20/10. Greatly recommended.

Beautifull place not a 5 star stay!

Beautifull location and views, the food and beverage staff were amazing with great attitude and service but really disappointed with the resort being marketed as a 5 star property when they definitely don't have the level of attention and service to be but a 4 star. From the moment we arrived at the Male airport the reception by the hotel staff was terrible not guest service at all just asked us if we were coming to the hotel and to wait on the side (The presence of the staff wasn't the best to said the least) and them the arrival to the island airport was very much the same, staff just asked you if you were coming to the hotel and to leave your bags there and jump in a bus, them get down from the bus and jump in a boat, again all these steps happen without anyone welcome you or explaining to you the process in a matter expected for a 5 star hotel. Them you arrive to the hotel pier, and you have one person giving cold hand towels and another one giving you old half empty plastic glasses with warm juice and asked everyone to seat on a waiting area so that one staff can barely explain the resort information to everyone and send you out on a golf cart packed with people to your rooms. Again, until now NOTHING of all these steps were even close to a 5-star experience. We arrive to the room and the mini bar consisted of 4 old bottles of vodka, gin, tequila and something else and an office style fridge with couple of sodas a big water bottle and 2 beers. I could keep explaining!!
