Riu Palace Maldivas, Dhaalu Atoll

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped with a desk, sofa, TV, and safe, offering a fantastic view. However, I noticed the need for a system to prevent sand from entering the room and terrace. The service was top-notch with friendly and professional staff always ready to assist with a smile. The location was perfect, though it could get a bit hot. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities were great overall.

The hotel has spacious rooms but needs a system to avoid or eliminate sand coming inside the room and the terrace. It should also provide two sunbeds per room to prevent guests from taking sunbeds from others. The service meets expectations for a Spanish-owned hotel chain but lacks attention to creating a decent experience. However, the staff are always extremely helpful and kind. The location is perfect, especially near restaurants like Monalisa, Marchee, and Mina, yet it can get a bit too hot at times. The dining experience is up to standard in most areas, but Spanish food needs improvement. Overall, the facilities are good.

The hotel has a minimalistic style and offers a range of amenities like a TV, fan, safe, iron and ironing board, umbrella, coffee maker with a selection of coffee and tea. However, the sunbed situation can be unpleasant with guests moving them around. The location is splendid with some waiting time issues, but the dining experience may not meet expectations.
