“Fantastic Hotel, Staff and Island”

Aug 30, 2025Dave W

We have just returned from 14 nights at the Riu Atoll and I have to say what an amazing holiday we had. First of all every single member of the staff go above and beyond are always polite and pleasant with a smile on their faces and keen to talk about anything. We stayed in a beach access room on the sunset side and the beach and of course the ocean were just amazing. Loads of different marine life, sharks, stingrays, turtles and many types of fish. We travelled to and from the resort on the seaplane and the organisation by the Hotel was seamless and made the experience even more enjoyable. Had an excellent guided tour on the jet skis where we saw literally 100’s of dolphins swimming alongside us along with a stingray. Italian restaurant is a must. To summarise the Place really is paradise and you have to see it to appreciate it. I am sure we will return.

“Wonderful stay in paradise”

Where do i start. From the moment we arrived in Male we were met by a representative from the hotel who took us through every step to get us and our luggage to the island safely. We arrived in darkness so couldn't see the full beauty until the following day.. we were taken to our room our luggage was already there waiting. After a quick freshen up we headed to the restaurant. We were met by the most wonderful staff Phillip one of the chefs also came and introduced himself to us. Offering any assistance we needed to make sure we were able to feed our baby who is Dairy free. This continued for the whole stay always asking if there was anything we needed For him... a special shout out to Shifaz from the moment we arrived this man was wonderful he was so helpful and always made sure we had everything we needed he really went above and beyond. All the restaurant staff were wonderful but a Special thanks to Thaney, Ranjith, Shaariz Kashrista and Hunmu who were all wonderful especially with out little boy Tommy always making sure he was happy.. we celebrated our wedding anniversary here they laid a special table for our with flowers and made us a cake this was a wonderful touch we weren't expecting it was a wonderful surprise Rooms. Our room opened right on to the beach we stayed in 1601 the room was lovely and spacious spotlessly clean every day. When we opened the door in the morning we had a first wow moment this place really is paradise. The Riu bar when the nightly entertainment is has plenty of seating inside and out and always has something going on the staff there Torry & Roshan are wonderful as are The pool is lovely here and always had something going on tp keep everyone entertained the staff at the swim up bar are fantastic especially Jessica & Nico from. The first visit there until the last they remembered the drinks orders. I also want to give a special thank you to Amiee from the entertainment team. She was amazing with our little one who at just 20mths old had the most amazing time here they allowed him to try the magic carpet over the pool which he done several times until he was confident to do it on his own with my husband standing beside him at the pool.. the staff here helped make a wonderful holiday even more magical. We hope to return here soon and would highly recommend this resort to anyone thinking of going to the Maldives. Once again thank you for an amazing stay in paradise for out 10th wedding anniversary.
