RIU Atoll

First class. Staff were a credit to the hotel. One of the few hotels where the Buffett, is still a dining experience. The bar staff in the swim up pool and evening bar by the restaurant and pool were out of this world. I am type 1 Diabetic and never before have I had staff tuned into this. Unlike the Caribbean. The staff were good because the wanted to be and not driven by tips. Not forgetting the Buffett staff. Always smiled and acknowledged. Never let our glasses empty. No waiting to catch an eye. Like other hotels. The whole experience we will never forget and especially as it was our 25th wedding anniversary. Thank you team RIU.

We stayed at Hotel Riu Atoll and everything was just perfect! 🌴 The place is beautiful, clean, and the food was amazing. Special shout-out to the bar team — they made every day feel even better with their great energy and cocktails. Can’t wait to come back! ❤️

We have stayed at Riu all over the world and this o e again did not disappoint. Service from everyone was top notch from cleaners to bars to resteraunts. We had a top floor beach villa for first week and then moved to a water bungalow both were spotless People complain of a musty smell but if you follow instructions to keep aircon on and don't leave doors open it is fine same as any tropical cou try. We will return here in a heartbeat well done Riu you have a great staff and resort

This is the fourth consecutive year we have been and every year it keeps getting better. The bar staff are excellent especially Singhe who went out of his way to to get to know us and always said hello. The restaurant is great with plenty of variety and very helpful chefs who would help out whenever they could. The staff in all the restaurants were exceptional we travelled with my parents and my dad is 91 and they supplied him with a wheelchair for the whole holiday and the staff were all helpful with him , making sure we had a table with easy access and helping him with his plates if he needed it. A special thanks to Firaz who we have meet there for several years and his service was exceptional.

We spent a truly magical holiday at Riu Atoll in the Maldives in June, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience! The entire resort is absolutely stunning. Spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and the crystal-clear ocean just steps away from our room was pure paradise. We stayed in a Beach Room with direct access to the beach, which was a dream come true. The hospitality of the staff was outstanding, warm, welcoming, and always helpful. A special moment for us as parents: we forgot the measuring scoop for our baby’s formula, and the lovely team at the patisserie kindly helped us portion the formula, such a thoughtful and compassionate gesture! The resort is also incredibly family-friendly. Our 11-month-old daughter had a fantastic time at the Mini Club, and the animation staff was caring and attentive. Meanwhile, we enjoyed snorkeling in the vibrant underwater world, we spotted so many beautiful marine creatures, it felt like swimming in an aquarium! The weather was absolutely perfect every single day; sunshine, turquoise waters, and swaying palm trees made it feel like a true tropical escape. There’s also a small shop on-site for souvenirs and essentials, though for more shopping options we recommend checking the airport in Malé before your flight home. As for the food, there is room for improvement, although the buffet offered variety and we were always satisfied after each meal, the flavor could be enhanced. The snack bar between main meals could also be improved. However, these are just minor points in what was overall an exceptional experience. In summary: we would return in a heartbeat! Riu Atoll offers everything a family could wish for: relaxation, adventure, kindness, and beauty. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!
