We stayed at Royal island during Feb 2009 for 2 weeks having booked with thomson holidays, flew from Manchester with first choice airways had a 2 hour delay on sea plane departure from male and having spoken to other guests on the island at the same time this would appear to be a regular problem. We were taken to The... more

I have just returned from my two week honeymoon at Royal Island and would recommend it to anyone. The island is immaculate, I have never experienced such hard working staff always taking care of the beach, gardens and villas. The staff are very friendly and know you by name after a few days. The guy at the pool bar is... more

We have just returned from a fantastic fortnight. We were treated like royalty throughout our stay. the staff were extremely pleasant and eager to please. Special thanks to Ranjeef at the pool bar. The bungalows were well equipped and the food was gorgeous with plenty of choice. snorkelling on the house reef was great and we saw manta rays daily.... more

Arrived at Royal Island after a 10 hour flight with Monarch airlines which can be only described as a convenient non stop flight but having flown to Maldives before with Qatar airways we definately discovered the difference between a 5 star airline and a 3!

Many people (especially honeymooners and couples) go to the Maldives to seek that "desert island/escape from it all" holiday. Though it... more

Wonderful! My husband and I stayed at Royal Island between 2-9 October 2008. Although in theory this is a little of season (the dry season begins in November) we were blessed with perfect weather, no strong wind, absolutely no rain. We have arrived in Male from Dubai with Emirates (great services). Our experience with RI started just as we've exit... more

We just returned from our 12 days holidays at the Royal Island Resort. This was our second time on the Maldives. We had previously been on Kuredu where we had a beach villa. Having been on two different Islands we have learnt that your holiday experience will very much depend on where on the Island you are accommodated. On Kuredu,... more

We have just returned from a weeks honeymoon in the Maldives, staying at the Royal Island Resort and Spa. We have never experienced such fantastic service before. Starting from the beginning. The sea plane transfer was an amazing experience, and one which I will never forget. The luggage transfer was very smooth at Male airport also. Ensure you have your... more
