Rooms are outdated and needs a lot of work done. Bed was broken and when we talk to front desk about it some one brought a small bed in the room without taking out the old one which took up a lot of space in the room. no trash bags in the bins even after house keeping would clean. No shower gel in the shower. Toilet in room doesn’t work well, have to flush several times. Hallways and walls were dirty. Dinning areas were hot no air conditioner or they weren’t working well. Staff was overall good and welcoming. Food was good most times. Pool is very small and crowded. Hotel definitely needs a lot of work. Also there was no room service or elevators which were inconveniences considering all walking to get any where

I recently booked a 4 night stay at Riu for our vow renewal this pass week. Its was a disappointment. I will never stay here again. The room smelled old & musty, they don’t have room service. They didn’t have me listed as a bride so they never upgraded the room. Don’t get me started on the cups which they take and reuse over and over. I went to get water in the am and the cup had a rum residue smell ! How gross. Dining was limited it was also my husband’s birthday. We arrived Wednesday at 11am and the restaurants were already booked for Friday which I was told I could book him a dinner for up to 8 people. All the drinks were watered down . There is absolutely nothing to do on this resort at 6pm even the pools close at 6. They do have shows for kids & some for adults which were just ok. We had to leave the resort in order to din together , they ran out of wash cloths. (wedding guests were very upset, I was so embarrassed that i selected this resort. Now the good stuff- MS Dionne the wedding specialist was a breath of fresh air, very kind & helpful and whenever she goes when the close down I’d recommend her a 100xs to help in an island wedding. Type transportation never picked us up to go back to the airport & the resort charged us $120 to get back. Oh and the chip’s and beef patties in the sports bar were STALE & OLD! The buffet food was dry and just blah, the jerk hut was very good and most of the staff were extremely pleasant and kind. I’m never staying here again EVER!!!!

It seemed like most staff did not want to be there. There were a few friendly staff, one was TJay at the lobby bar and Damien our taxi driver. They were awesome…. Cant say that for the rest. We waited 3 hours for our room, they did decorate the room for my son 16th Birthday but other than that, rooms need upgrades, shower smelled HORRIBLE, resort was very boring , no beachside service, no room service, no restaurant choices, no entertainment and the whole resort closed by 11pm. If you are hungry after 10pm, good luck. It was not welcoming at all.

This is a more quiet version of the RUI Reggae/ Montego Bay. Still the basics but the Jamaican food was some of the most authentic I’ve tasted (I’m Jamaican) that chef did his thing - the American options were okay. THE PATTIES - my goodness. Beach and water are nice and located on the 7 mile beach strip. Staff was great and pleasant. Such a great experience after a terrible one staying at Grand Palldium

Awesome staff and good shows. They have a taxi service on site and a few RIU guest only excursions both of which were convenient, professional, highly recommended. We did a catamaran cruise and snorkel to Rick’s Cafe which was a lot of fun. Food was not good at all. If you want some decent food, I’d recommend making reservations for the restaurants on site right away. They book up fast. The facilities could use some updating. Issues with the toilets not flushing well.

This was an old building which needs some updating to be done. Shower was not good and there was no pressure. WiFi was always disconnecting and didn’t work throughout the resort. Buffet food was decent but couldn’t get any reservations to restaurants which means we had to go buffet all the time. There was no premium liquor, not even Tito’s which was disappointing. Overall it definitely needs many improvements.

The service was very slow everywhere except at the bars. The bartenders were great and the entertainers were the highlight of the resort! They were friendly and awesome and made time to get to know you. The internet is terrible and you lose it if you walk five feet. The most frustrating thing is the keys keep losing their “charge” and you have to walk very far to “recharge” them while the desk staff is not very friendly about it. The food was very average except for the steakhouse, it was good. Signing up for the catamaran took 2 hours and the people signing you up didn’t seem to care. They start closing down the buffet 30 minutes before the closing time so if you don’t get to breakfast early, you get no eggs,no bacon, potato’s, water etc. I would recommend spending the extra money to stay at the newer one just down the road where they probably focus more on customer care and service.

I arrived Monday, March 25-29th and the 1st thing I did not like was the check in process. It took over an hour to check on. Secondly, once arrived in the room and settled the bathroom was used. Right away there was a toilet issue! It barely flushed! Called front desk assuming our room would be changed and it wasn't! Instantly annoyed and frustrated that we've paid a pretty penny to be here and not instantly accommodated. Maintenance came and it was barely fixed. Someone came to room after midnight because we couldn't flush. And we still weren't given a new room. Only was told to wait until the maintenance manager arrives in the morning. Now, it's Tuesday morning and he comes and switches a part on the toilet. All is good! ...for a little while. Unfortunately, it barely flushed again! At this point I'm over it and want my money back or a new room. My husband figured most of the rooms were the same and didn't want to bother switching and have same problem 😕 Now it's Wednesday morning and we want to travel to see family on the island but have to wait for maintenance before we can get kids ready and use the restroom etc. This is when we were told we could possibly get a room change but we left for the day and never heard anything about it again. After he fixed toilet it will work for 2-3 flushed then back up again! When we reached out room after traveling for the day of course what happened....it was backed up again! I called desk about 1 am and asked for a plunger.
