"Royal Island is a paradise! This was our first time to the Maldives and didn't know what to expect. The service was top notch from the time we stepped foot on the island. Staff were available to check in all groups arriving on the boat at the same time, so there was no waiting. We were set up with a contact via WhatsApp (Mark) and he kept us up to date with what was going on at the island each day and was available to address all of our questions. The food at the buffet was good and each dinner had a different theme keeping it interesting. Our server Naseer was friendly and efficient. Finally the setting! The island is beautiful! The clearest water outside of a pool I have ever swam in. We were at the west end of the island and there was easy access to snorkelling in the lagoon. There is some damage to the reef, but we still saw so many fish, rays and a shark. We also enjoyed the Wanderlust and Hanifaru Bay snorkelling excursions. The transfers were well planned (don't panic about not having the details until the day before). And bonus, because we had a late departure they gave us late check-out without an extra charge. Overall a fabulous experience. Highly recommend."

"Our trip to the Maldives at Vakkaru was a dream come true. We were blessed with perfect weather and amazing experiences, like swimming with mantas, thanks to Sato's exceptional care. Breakfast was always a highlight, thanks to Azzam's warm welcome and guidance through the buffet. Meeting Ankita and Sajith added to our joy, with Sajith's incredible coffee art and cocktails. Ahoo even helped us capture perfect moments on the swings. The massages by Ana and Neva were the best we've ever had. Rijai's humor made lunchtime unforgettable. Overall, Vakkaru's service was impeccable, and we'll cherish our memories forever. If you're considering a trip to the Maldives, Vakkaru is a must!"

"I liked the service and the staff getting to know you "

"Wonderful stay, great grounds, staff attentive and eager to please. Beautiful OTV villa views on the sunset side of the island(other side would be problematic for me, sea wall presence). Overall wonderful experience!"

"This property was beautiful. I woke up to an amazing view every morning in my ocean-water villa. I loved the room and the restaurants were also nice. The staff were all kind to me and I truly enjoyed my stay here. The only thing I had a hard time with was no night life lol since my body was on a different time zone so I had a hard time falling asleep."

"The resort staff was super friendly. The house reef was amazing to snorkel and dive. The food was excellent with so many choices for each meal. The all inclusive package made meals and alcoholic beverages super easy to select from. The sunset deluxe villa was very comfortable for three adults and was perfect to have privacy and easy access to the sand and water. The seaplane ride gave spectacular views of the atolls and brilliant shades of blue. The pool is pretty small and better suited for children wanting a break from the ocean. Overall it was a wonderful experience on a natural island with amazing sea life. "
