Rihiveli is absolutely stunning, with gorgeous surroundings and the perfect Maldivian scenery. While I loved the natural beauty and the overall experience, I did feel a bit out of place sometimes due to differences in treatment based on nationality. The rooms are basic, lacking air conditioning, but they are cozy enough to enjoy the island vibe. Overall, it’s a great value for the money, especially if you're seeking nature and relaxation.

The rooms are simple but comfortable, and while there’s no air conditioning, the ceiling fans helped a lot. They are clean, which I appreciated, though they could use some upgrades.

The service was inconsistent; we received attention when the manager was present, but otherwise, I felt a bit overlooked at times. It was a little disappointing given the all-inclusive package we paid for.

Rihiveli Resort is an absolute gem in The Maldives, boasting stunning natural beauty and a sense of tranquility. The islands surrounding the resort are picture-perfect and easily accessible, making for wonderful daytime explorations. The rooms, while basic, are spacious and comfortable, embodying a rustic charm. The dining is enjoyable but can become repetitive over time, and although the service is friendly, I felt a bit overlooked at times. Overall, it offers great value, especially for nature lovers seeking a peaceful escape.

Our stay on the island was almost perfect, with stunning views and beautiful nature surrounding us. However, we felt somewhat excluded as non-French guests, and the service could be inconsistent. The food was good but became repetitive after a few days. The lack of air conditioning in the room made our nights uncomfortable, but we enjoyed the watersports and the pristine beaches.

My stay at Rihiveli was truly special, with its breathtaking natural beauty and warm atmosphere. The island itself is stunning, surrounded by others that perfectly embody the idyllic Maldives. However, the service experience was somewhat lacking in attentiveness, particularly for non-French guests. While the rooms were clean and basic, the lack of air conditioning made for a warm night’s sleep. Overall, it's a fantastic experience for nature lovers, provided you are okay with some hiccups in service.

Rihiveli is a stunning resort that captures the essence of the Maldives with its natural beauty and welcoming atmosphere. The island is surrounded by breathtaking lagoons and uninhabited islands, perfect for those seeking a slice of paradise. I found the rooms to be basic yet comfortable, and while the dining was generally good, it became a bit repetitive over my stay. Service was a mixed bag, where some staff were attentive, but I felt a bit overlooked at times compared to other guests. Overall, it’s a great experience for anyone wanting to enjoy beautiful surroundings, although there are areas that could use improvement.
