If diving to the depths of the sea is something which has always fascinated you, why not take a class with the diving school, which is not affiliated with the hotel, and discover what’s hidden at the bottom of the ocean. You might even uncover lost treasure.

Before going for dinner, we recommend that you take a moment to contemplate the skyline and experience the beautiful sunset. What better way to end the day? Not everyone gets to say that they have seen the sun go down over the Maldives.

    I have stayed at Riu in Aruba as well as Riu las americas in Cancun Mexico. You is definitely my choice hotel for my travels, hands down from the wide selection of restaurants and cuisine, the sheer elegance of the whole resort the swim up bars and water activites to the mini bars in the rooms, to the great shows they provide. Riu is the best. Oh and the staff!!! One of my waiters actually went across the street to a store and brought drinks I wanted just so I had them for dining every night…. where will you find that. And they remember you by name. RIU IS THE BEST EVER!!!
