"I am very grateful for all the services provided by this hotel. I stayed there for two weeks, and they were truly the best weeks of my life. A peaceful, off-the-beaten-path island, snorkeling right from the beach, excursions, food—everything was excellent. The hotel and the rooms were kept very clean every day. Thank you very much. I’d like to send a special thank you to Ms. Emi and Mr. Sam. Their service in the dining area was excellent."

"We had an absolutely amazing experience at By the shade Maldives! The team was incredibly professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our stay special. We booked the snorkeling safari and the nurse shark trip — both were unforgettable adventures. The hotel itself is spotlessly clean and beautifully maintained, with a cozy and peaceful atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Maldives in a genuine and welcoming way!"

"Mohammed was legendary. Couldn’t do enough to help us. Nice standard local guesthouse only minutes walk to anywhere (it’s a tiny island)."

"Very clean and professionally run. Beautiful set up and well Maintained and definitely a five star setting"

"Amazing stay near the perfect beach . Staff is very sweet and attentive. We had an amazing snorkeling and fishing experience. The restaurant with a sea view is breathtaking. Definitely would come back"

"Great location for scuba diving at the harbour. Fantastic host Nirmal who couldn’t have been more helpful. An added bonus is the courtyard for breakfast and a sun deck above. I would definitely stay there again."

"the location is 2-3 mins to the beach, the staff makes you feel warm & welcome immediately. Rooms are adequate & super clean - they cleaned everyday and we were always provided with fresh sheets. also a SUPER top thing, is the restaurant next door: The wave. The chef is absolutely class & with some restrictions we had x he really followed them on point! the food was part of this incredible time for sure, especially after a full day of sun and snorkeling :)"

"We had an absolutely fantastic stay at RIU Palace Maldives. Everything exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The food was amazing, there was great variety, excellent quality, and beautifully presented. The NYE gala meal was incredible. There was always something new to try, and every meal felt special. What really made the experience unforgettable was the staff. They were very nice, warm, and genuinely friendly, always smiling and happy to help. Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel truly welcomed and relaxed throughout our stay. The resort itself is stunning, with beautiful surroundings and a very peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a Maldives getaway."

"Herşey mükemmeldi kesinlikle Maldivler'de tatil yapmak istiyorsanız hem denizi sahili mükemmel hemde fiyat dengesi çok iyi gereksiz yere vergi adı altında binlerce TL vermenize gerek yok bu ada mükemmel kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum. Balayı çiftlerine özel belirttiğiniz takdirde odanıza özel süsleme ve bir şişe şampanya hediye ediyorlar bu harikaydı diğer adalar gibi saçma sapan balayı ayınızda olduğunuzu kanıtlamanız lazım demiyorlar. Çok profesyoneller. Tüm çalışanlar hayret uyandıracak şekilde güler yüzlü ve gerçekten işlerini seviyorlar. Kaçırmayın buraya gidin!!!!!! Şunuda belirteyim adada her an her saat istediğiniz kadar alkol bulabilirsiniz her çeşit alkol ve free herşey dahil alınca tabi."
