I love it. The place is the hiest class for snorkelling, relaxing, fishing on a big scale, and Asian food.
Will certainly recommend it!

The staff is incredibly friendly, informative and helpful. The rooms are very comfortable and the views from the beach villas are great. All facilities are great. Even the gym is very complete. There is plenty of variety of food and everything is delicious with plenty of options for all dietary requirements.

We stayed here for 4 nights in the garden facing rooms. The good things first. This resort is located in a small island in Baa Atoll and is very well kept and beautiful. Full points to the gardener and the staff who maintain the green space in the island. The food in the main restaurant (buffet meals) was very good and lot of variety. They keep the non-adventurous western guests in mind for the food and give them lot of choices so they feel at home :) The staff on ground is super friendly; although I cannot say the same for management. The management is mostly there to make money and is very inflexible to any requests you have that is not in their rule book. The island is very scenic, lots of instagram opportunities. The waters around has very good snorkelling opportunities - sea life is plentiful and you can spot a lot of exotic creatures. The area is full of baby black tip reef sharks.
I would recommend only going here all inclusive as your budget would take a beating for every little thing you would like to do there. Food and drink prices are astronomical and every little bit of "extra" service that you ask for costs a lot of "extra" money. The day trips are expensive. I would recommend to go stay 4-5 days in a guest house in a local island nearby and do your day trips from there at 1/3 the price. Once you are in the island you are stuck with their products and their prices - you have no other option. Their airport transfer service is also very expensive - it is not very fair to charge customer with a huge markup. Arrange your own transfer if you can.

We had such a wonderful time there! ♥️ This was the best vacation ever! We celebrated our honeymoon there. Where to begin ... Overall it was a very pleasant experience. We were staying in cute Beach villa with lots of privacy. The staff and service was excellent! Very friendly and they were always looking for solutions. We want to thank Kath, who was always quickly responsive to our requests and took care of us all the time. When my husband needed medical help, it was arranged so professionally and they dedicated so much time to his problems, with tranquility and genuine interest in him. Special thanks goes to Dr. Angkan and nurse Vimala.
Mithail in restaurant was so caring, he always checked if my husband feels better. He even brought him extra soup, cooked only for him, which was not on the menu, and coconut water with electrolites to feel better! Kavya was always at the front door of the restaurant to welcome us with big smile. We loved eating breakfast and dinner accompanied by positive and optimistic Kishore. Razis and Neyan took care about our villa, room keeping cleaned the villa twice a day! And surprised us with such a lovely bed decorations, even manta ray. 🙂 Now, at home, we still talk about this vacation and we miss extraordinary food we ate there. Thanks to chefs Madeleine, Mahesh, Damith, whose food melted in our mouth! I loved their Padang and shrimps in sweet chilli sauce. There was always such a big choice and many international cuisine options to choose!
If you are looking for rest and tranquility, go for this vacation. It's so worth it! ♥️ It's a beautiful and calm area with good preserved underwater world. Do snorkeling everyday and relax all your senses. So much to see there, only in front of your door! We daily saw baby sharks, bigger sharks, manta ray, all beautiful colorful fish ... Resort is led with respect to nature and island's inhabitants. We didn't see any disadvantage there. We felt like at home there. 🙂 Atmosphere there is so homey, laid-back and easy, but at the same time, staff is so well organized and professional, that there is nothing you could miss there - everything needed is always provided. We strongly recommend Royal Island Resort, it's heaven on Earth!
