What a fantastic holiday staff are amazing supper man in the bar and sanjay at the pool and the toilet attended what a fantastic holiday can't wait to come back thanks to all at riu atoll maldives for making our holiday holiday an awesome one see you all soon

My wife and I looked at lots of different places to go on our Honeymoon and being a special holiday we chose the Maldives. As soon as we landed we knew we had made the right choice, the heat was welcomed and then once we got our small plane to our island it was paradise looking out the window to see the crystal blue sea and golden beaches. The RIU staff welcomed us with drinks and lots of information about the island, our bags were sent to our rooms and we were sent to the bar, a great way to start the holiday in my opinion. Without going into lots of details ill break it down for people: The Food - amazing, lots of choice and all cooked perfectly. The Maldivian food cooked was out of this world. There was a steak house which we could eat in once a week and also an Italian, again both amazing experiences and food incredible. The Staff - Every single staff member was happy and cheerful. The gardeners done a terrific job maintaining the resort, the cleaners are thorough, the bar staff amazing (Jess knew what drinks we both had and they were never empty), the entertainment was great, there was something to do on the hour from 10am till 6pm. I personally played lots of games including petanque and volleyball daily - but if you don't want to there was no pressure. A special mention to Ashen (entertainer) who i had lots of fun with as we had a regular battle of petanque daily and become quite an enjoyable competition. In all the place is amazing but the staff add that something extra which resulted in having an amazing holiday. To wrap it up if you enjoy white sand, crystal clear seas with lots of sea life and basically wanting to feel like jumping into that screensaver on your computer then the Maldives will do that for you. A great honeymoon a great holiday and an amazing place to spend 2 weeks!! We will be returning. Sam and Lisa.

We stayed here for 2 weeks to celebrate my 70th birthday. We loved it there. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and we were cared for from the time we landed in Male. We stayed in an over water suite which was lovely and our cleaner Vimuthki kept it immaculately clean, and his decorations were brilliant! The food was lovely in all the restaurants, and they catered for our friend who was gluten and lactose free. The entertainment team were great, and I'd like to particularly mention Ash(a shortened version of his name!) who organised the boules and the aquagym amongst other things. He was so friendly and we laughed a lot with him! I also noticed that he was very inclusive with people of all abilities,ages and nationalities. I think he made our holiday! The bar staff were very efficient and helpful both during a day and in the evening, as were the waiters who looked after us. The snorkeling was great, and I could have spent longer doing this. We've been to this hotel twice now and would recommend it without hesitation.

Wow just wow this place is like heaven! It was just myself and my 16 year old son and we were in a beach villa with direct access to the beach along with a few sun loungers. If you wanted you could lay around the sunrise pool which was big and very clean. It has a swim up bar which I sat at most days. The bar staff around the pool are amazing so friendly and chatty Chameera, Pasi, Visham, Jessica, Kelvin, Chandana are a huge credit to Riu and they all made friends with my son Jake. The entertainment was brilliant from white and jungle parties with great music to the pool entertainment boules, bingo, darts and fitness in the pool and Ashan really works his butt off getting everyone involved and he was lovely, friendly and super chatty too. The food was great something different every night. I’m only did the one excursion which was the dolphin trip and this did not disappoint there were loads of dolphins it was amazing to see and cost 90dollars. If you are all inclusive you get 1 hour of the kayaks, paddle boards, peddle boats and snorkel sets each day. Tip take your own full face mask from Amazon for £21 Great holiday now saving up hard to be able to return hopefully in 2025 x

We had never been to The Maldives before nor stayed in a RIU hotel but we had high expectations of both! I must say our expectations were surpassed! From the moment we arrived to the time of saying our farewells, our stay was exceptional! All flights and transfers were incredibly slick. The staff, the choice and quality of food, the accommodation, the pool and adjoining bar area, the general cleanliness of the resort ,the on site shop ,the water sports ( some of which were free!),the low key entertainment……amazing! The beach and sea were pure paradise! Some of the highlights included the dolphin cruise ( we saw so many!),the sunset cruise, the stunning evening star configurations and the live daily music played as the sun went down. Truly memorable! This really was the holiday of a lifetime. Would we return? You bet we would!

Overall the property is very good, the rooms were a Little Bit cold, we missed a coffee maker in the room.
