Royal Island Resort

It was a wonderful vacation! A paradise island with a relaxed pace. We stayed on the sunset side of the villas in room 208. The entrances are wonderful for swimming. You can snorkel both near the villas and from the pier. The staff is very friendly. The food is simply excellent. We took full board, which was more than enough! I definitely recommend it!

This is our third time in the Maldives; our first time at the Royal Island Resort was a great experience! Transfer to the island was by seaplane and speedboat (thanks to the hotel for not having to wait until lunch for a domestic flight). Return was by speedboat and domestic flight. The return transfer was complimentary, so we're especially grateful for that. We arrived at the hotel at 8 a.m. and were checked in immediately. We booked the Sunset Villa, and our villa was perfectly located – away from the pier (the ones closer to the pier aren't ideal for swimming and there's no reef) and close to a beautiful reef. We loved everything: - The food was delicious and varied. Every day for lunch and dinner there was seafood, fruit, incredibly delicious desserts, ice cream – everything was plentiful. The staff was friendly. Our waiter at the restaurant brought drinks by the time we'd finished our meals – we'd arrive at our table to find water already poured into glasses and a teapot with tea on the table. We also really enjoyed our host, Mark, who explained everything and showed us around. The restaurant's head manager, Ali, was constantly checking in to see how we were enjoying the food and whether everything was to our liking. - Daily cleaning, daily towel changes, including the beach towels. We've been to many places and seen many things, and in our opinion, this is a very decent resort with excellent value for money – we highly recommend it!

This island is actually not very big, but every part of it suits my aesthetic taste! There are only beach villas on the island, no water villas, and it is quite far from Male, so you need to take a domestic flight and then a speedboat to get to the island! But I personally like it more! The rooms are all wooden and retro in style. The rooms are very large and have front and back yards! Then just a few steps out of the door you can reach the beach 🏝️, the sand is fine and soft! Compared to those internet-famous islands, this is really a good place if you just want to lie down! There are three restaurants on the island! Generally, there is a fixed buffet restaurant! But the restaurant is very big, you can see the sea when you open the door, and there is also a fish pond! The restaurant also has a wide variety of dishes. For breakfast, there are waffles and pancakes. You can also choose to cook eggs according to your own taste 🍳! There will be small BBQ skewers in the evening! Then the fruit will be cut and the staff will ask you if you like it and he can cut it for you! There will be lots of activities on the island too!

We are very glad that we visited this hotel! Cleaning 3 times a day. The cuisine is decent. There is a reef with fish. Snorkeling is wonderful. I will definitely come back here.
