I've been coming here for years. While the staff is very friendly the property seems to be declining every year. There is always something not working. Be it the refrigerator, or the liquor bottle dispensers, or the safe, this year was the safe and the room entry key cards. Also, came into our room the first day and found a staff member sitting on the couch watching a game on the TV. He said "oh you guys are here already". It was so odd. Sadly we no longer feel RIU is giving quality anymore.

SammiJo and Kimberly at the front desk were the BEST. Many thanks to them for their help with surprising our family. The only unfriendly face that we encountered during our entire stay was our housekeeper. The rest of the staff was absolutely incredible, friendly and helpful. The presentation of the food was beautiful. However, we were unhappy with the food during our stay. If you don't know how Jamaican food should taste, it could be passable, but when you know how it should be, it was very disappointing. We were disappointed in the lack of cleanliness of our room. When we have to pay hundreds of dollars per night, I would expect an elite level of cleanliness. Our shower continued to grow mold the entire time that we were there, along with the corner of the floor under the sink. There was dried snot on the walls of the shower the whole stay (gross). Each time we came into the room, the floor was SO wet and soapy and you could literally see everywhere that wasn't mopped. We had to use a towel to dry the floor every day, so we wouldn't slip. We didn't get turn down service until our 4th night and that was only because the housekeeping supervisor asked us how that was going and we had NO idea it was a thing. She made sure the night housekeeper did it. They didn’t bother again on the final night. So we had the turndown service 3 nights of our 8. The room we had for the kids smelled BADLY of sewage so they slept with us. A lot of money spent on 2nd room that was barely used.

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.
