This was our first visit to Royal Island and to the Maldives. We received a very warm and friendly welcome from a group of the reception staff on arrival at the resort, and when seated comfortably in the reception area, we were given a lovely cold drink and a lemon-infused cold flannel to freshen us up. Noble from reception introduced himself, and gave us a quick tour of the island and told us all of the relevant information, and then showed us to our Sunset Beach Villa. Our stay was one of luxury and pure relaxation. Every single member of staff we encountered was polite and friendly. They could not do enough for us. We enjoyed the sunset fishing trip, which was included in our package, and also an additional trip which we purchased. This was snorkeling in a reef, and with turtles, finishing off with a stop at a sandbank, where one of very helpful and friendly staff (Axhaan) took lots of photos of us which he later sent us by WhatsApp, along with other photos and videos taken during the trip. Royal Island is a very special place, and we met other guests who had visited there on several occasions, choosing to return after staying on other islands but preferring Royal Island. The quality and choice of food during our stay was exceptional, and all of the drinks offered in the All-inclusive package are branded ones at no extra cost. We would like to thank all of the staff for making our stay so special. It isn't possible to mention everyone, but we would like to thank Mithila (Manager) for his attention and enjoyable conversations. Also Abdulla and Lakshi in the main dining room, Shristi in the Alacarte restaurant, and Asmita, Made, and Shaimira in the Boli Bar (apologies if the spellings are not correct). All of these staff members went out of their way to talk with us, and we enjoyed sharing conversations about our different cultures and what life is like in our home countries. We are also grateful to Mr Nor, our villa attendant, who kept our villa clean and our fridge well-stocked. It was one of our birthdays while we were there, and a cake and complimentary bottle of pink fizz was provided in our room, with beautiful flower decorations on the bed. There is so much more that we could say, but to summarise and conclude, our stay at Royal Island is one of the best holidays we have ever had, and we would not hesitate to highly recommend it. We would definitely return again in the future, if we are able. Royal Island has a special place in our hearts.
