It's a good hotel, as is the entire Rio chain. A perfect entrance to the water is possible without corals. There is also something to see in the reefs. The food is excellent and varied. In Alaskan restaurants, the dishes were ordered differently- I was not thrilled. It tastes better in the main restaurant. Alcoholic drinks and cocktails are top. In rainy weather, you will be taken and brought. The evenings are not boring. In general, there was always something to do during all the days. It was a long way to get drinks from the villa, but we found a way out: we took a double whiskey with us and mixed it with what was in the mini bar))) well, the moment: that it is not provided to wash your feet before entering the villa ... they brought sand to the room… but all these little things ...))) the rest was wonderful!
We stayed at this hotel twice, at the Riu Palace Maldives 5*, in 2020 (February), and in 2024 (November). The hotel has very attentive staff (two Russian-speaking receptionists Alla and Nargiza work at the reception), the rooms and appliances/plumbing in the rooms are impeccable (the impression that the hotel opened only yesterday), excellent food (a variety of seafood, meat, cheese, fruit products), delicious high-quality alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, a beach with snow-white sand, crystal ocean, living reefs (turtles, stingrays, baby sharks, a large number of fish). The hotel is surrounded by greenery, flying foxes, herons, birds, the owners are there. In the rooms there are bathrobes, hygiene products, a safe, an ironing board with an iron, an umbrella, dispensers with liter bottles of alcohol (vodka, gin, rum, whiskey (replenishment as needed)), a mini-bar filled with cola, Schweppes, sprite, beer and water, a kettle with tea and coffee bags. There is an ice house for drinks near the rooms. Daily music programs (live music), a megastore with women's and men's clothing, sun protection, tobacco products, souvenirs. There is a sports bar (board games), a diving center (snorkeling, ATVs, kayaks, etc.). There is also a doctor's office. An amazing place, I definitely recommend it, the hotel really deserves 5 out of 5. The Riu hotel chain, a separate love🫶🫶🫶 If the Maldives, then this hotel, everything is 100% in it🥰🥰🥰
