Riu’s policy of leaving their guests stranded at the airport because they booked through a 3rd party was very disappointing. For this reason I would never stay at a RIU again. Who does that? Where is your hospitality? Is this the 1st impression you want to give your potential recurring guests???

First Impression
I was disappointed when I arrived which was late in the evening because of the transportation getting there late. I arrived just before 10pm as it was a journey which takes 9 hours to get to the hotel which causes me a lot of stress and anxiety, so you can understand having nothing to eat all that time and was told when I arrived at the hotel that all the restaurants stopped serving food but I can ordered room service which might just be sandwiches. I was left disappointed because I wanted something hot to eat and as this is an all inclusive resort which I have paid very good money to stay, I wasn't very happy to hear this. Why isn't there no grill bar open after hours for guests like myself can access hot meal, so my first impression left a bad taste in my mouth. 2nd I didn't like the room I was assigned to, as being a single person, my room was too far away from everything and also to find out that the safety box was out of order and the patio door wasn't shutting. So can you understand my first impression was stressful, however with all of this mishaps and after speaking with the staff the following morning, they went all the way out to make the remainder of my stay a stress free one.

I really enjoyed staying here. The staff was great, my only issue was the mislabeling of the food at the buffet. My partner and I do not eat pork and will get sick if we eat it. We both ended up eating it believing it to me something else. Aside from that. I love it and I would come again.

The AC was out or locked on 80F for the entire stay. RIU management failed to address the issue and stopped returning calls after the first night. We slept each night in pools of our own sweat. Other amenities were great, but NO AC in a “5-star” resort? UNACCEPTABLE.😡😡😡

Best stretch of beach on the whole island! The food was outstanding at both the buffet and at all of the specialty restaurants. Service was top notch, everyone at the resort was extremely friendly and helpful. My 11 year old daughter absolutely loved her time here, as did my wife and I. We can't say enough good things about the resort but especially the staff, who were all great! Don't let the beach vendors put you off, there are some interesting people that you can meet that only want to help you have a good time in Jamaica. Get yourself a good captain, like Captain Coco, who can take you on fishing or snorkeling adventures. Also, a reliable and safe driver like Floyd's Taxi can get you to all kinds of local attractions. Don't be afraid to shop at local stores for much better deals on gifts and crafts than you can get at the beach or in the resort gift shop. Also check out some amazing natural wonders like Blue Hole or Mayfield Falls.
