Hotel price-quality!
10/10The hotel is lovely, we visited it for the second time in May 2026. We were met at the airport and escorted to the terminal for the domestic flight. The road to the hotel was organized excellently! 30 minutes by domestic airline plane and 10 minutes by boat. The weather was good, perfect month for a holiday for those who don't want extreme heat and intense sun. Sometimes there was rain, but not for long. The ocean is very warm. We stayed at the Sunset Beach villa, excellent beach, lots of fish, and a large turtle swam in front of villa 197 for two days. The hotel offers a calm and peaceful stay without entertainment programs. In the lobby bar, you can play billiards and board games. We opted for full board, which includes three meals a day buffet style, tea, and coffee. Alcohol and snacks are not included during the day, but you can always purchase them. The hotel was half full, and when you go to swim, it feels like you're alone on the island. There is a spa, but I do not recommend it. The price is high, and the massage is terrible. The staff is very friendly! There is a Russian-speaking manager named Saida at the hotel. Special thanks to her! Every morning she sent an SMS with the hotel's daily program. Yoga sessions are held every day at the hotel (morning, noon, and evening). The food is simple, but everything is available.
I wanted more delicious desserts, in 2019 they were more varied and tasty.

Very relaxing and pleasant. You don't have to worry about anything.
10/10The restaurant stands out for its diversity and quality. With daily changes in terms of varieties (Chinese, Japanese, Maldivian, Indian, Italian...). Housekeeping morning and evening, every day, with a room that smells great after each of their visits. The staff is really nice, attentive, and caring. The wildlife and flora. Smiling sharks, blacktip reef sharks, multiple colorful fish, rays...

9/10We had a wonderful honeymoon stay at Royal Island Resort & Spa and were absolutely happy with our choice. If you are looking for the classic Maldivian dream, this resort truly delivers: a postcard-perfect island, a crystal-clear blue lagoon, beautiful white sand beaches, lush tropical vegetation, charming individual bungalows with direct beach access, and excellent snorkeling spots just a few meters from your room. Of course, the Maldives offers many more luxurious and far more expensive resorts, but Royal Island stands out as a truly great value-for-money option. It offers everything most people come to the Maldives for in a beautiful, authentic, and relaxing setting. While the resort may not be the newest or most design-focused property, it is comfortable, full of charm, and very enjoyable. Most importantly, the staff are wonderful: smiling, caring, professional, and always attentive. We stayed on a full board package and found the buffet good, varied, and enjoyable throughout the week, with the grill area being a particularly good option. Our only suggestion would be to develop a more upscale à la carte dining option, as the alternative menus felt quite similar to the buffet. We also requested a room change during our stay, as the beach in front of our initial villa was less attractive than in other parts of the island. The team handled this very efficiently, which we greatly appreciated. Highlights for us included the exceptional spa, unforgettable snorkeling with reef sharks and rays, the perfectly organized manta ray excursion, and the overall feeling of space and privacy across the island. A special thank you to Noble for his professionalism, proactive support, and help during our stay. Overall, this was a truly memorable honeymoon experience, and we would gladly recommend Royal Island to anyone looking for a beautiful Maldivian escape with strong value for money.
