“Trip of a lifetime ”

Sep 15, 2025ChuckaSY

Where do we start. The journey was good, but long (3 flights plus boat) but we found it very easy to navigate through Dubai and Male airport, we flew from Birmingham with Emirates through our TUI booking. RIU staff were waiting in arrivals for us and guided us through the final internal flight and ferry crossing. They were amazing. We booked 11 nights staying in a standard room, mini bar, 2 x beers per day plus cans of soft drinks, no optics. Towels for the beach are replenished in the rooms each day, but you can also switch these at the towel bar near the pool if needed. Weather was decent for August, I was worried we would see any sun, but we were fortunate and only had a few rain clouds, which lasted between 10 minutes to a few hours. It rained mainly at night and we were provided an umbrella which came in handy. We were in block 10, which is one of the first from the restaurant and pool, so we didn't have far to walk. The beaches are a mix of soft sand and broken shells, but sea shoes are a must if you plan to go snorkeling and I'd recommend you take your own snorkel mask, etc. There's no table service at the pool bar or on the beach sadly, would be the cherry on top. Beaches are clean to a point, but do have a bit of rubbish, paper straws, discarded cigarettes, napkins, etc which was a shame to see, they do their best to keep the resort clean, so guests should try harder to repsct the island. Food is plentiful and good choices, drinks are good too, measures are generous. Entertainment was good, 3 parties per week, a mix of music, quizzes, films and a live band, who are very good. We only had one plug socket in our room, which was annoying at times. All in all, a great holiday.
