Nov 20, 2024Wedding Trip 2024
We had our wedding at this Riu in November 2024, it was amazing to say the least. We had 50 people incl us stay on the resort and 13 people come to the wedding off resort. The staff are amazing here and the food is also amazing considering it’s an all inclusive resort (usually the food isn’t that good but the buffet even had lobster!) We had guests ages 9months to 75 years old and everyone had an incredible time. Thank you for making our wedding so special! I highly recommend this resort

Nov 19, 2024Not the best experience
I am very disappointed with my recent stay at your hotel. There were several issues that left me questioning the quality of the property and its service. Firstly, the lack of entertainment and nightlife was a major letdown. This is typically a highlight of resort stays, but it felt like there was nothing to do in the evenings. My experience with the rooms was equally disheartening. The first room I was assigned (in Building 1) had no working Wi-Fi, and the room phone didn’t work either. I was moved to a room in Building 2, but it was damp and smelled strongly of mold, making the stay uncomfortable. The challenges didn’t stop there. The morning after my arrival, I needed to work but couldn’t due to the lack of Wi-Fi in my room. This forced me to go to the lobby in search of a connection. To make matters worse, I was shuffled from one spot to another just to find a functional outlet for my laptop. This entire process was incredibly frustrating and unacceptable for a hotel. Another issue was the demeanor of the staff. While I encountered two friendly and helpful individuals—Chris at the front desk and Paradise from the entertainment crew—the majority of the staff seemed disgruntled and unapproachable. Overall, my stay was far from enjoyable, and I cannot recommend this hotel to others. Serious improvements are needed in both facilities and service.

Excellent
Food was great, beach and water amazing. It's a "small" cozy hotel ressort where everything is close by. Not a lot of animations or music for those who like something that move more. Personnally was happy with a calm vacation.
