Stayed here for the first time as Mambo was closed. The staff were all fantastic as usual but the meals were not up to normal quality and it didn't help when they opened the hotel to locals every weekend so you couldn't get near the pool and had long waits for lunches and dinners. It was so noisy. Love the... More

Just returned on 13 May from a 13 night stay at this hotel. We stayed 6 years ago and seen this deal with Thomsons for a really good price and new it would be good value for money. I think the hotel could do with an update, but we found everything was still good, food was good and no tummy... More

This was a very special getaway for my husband and me and we were not disappointed. We had written to the hotel in advance to let them know about our special trip and they arrranged for a honeymoon bonus (fruit plate, coffee, etc.) in our room and a room upgrade as requested to a room with a view of the...

I guess all inclusive drinks work for this resort because they all taste so awful you'll end up just drinking water. The pre-mixed cocktails resemble a slushy with cheap vodka added to them. It doesn't matter which type of cocktail you have, they all taste the same - fake. The food is ok but the majority of it is greasy... More

I went from April 30-May 7th with a group of 16 of us. Since there were so many of us, we really weren't too picky but looking back there were some definite good points and bad ones Good - the food was actually quite good! Felt a bit like I was eating the same thing all week but it was... More

Review of holiday at The Riu Merengue between 21st April 2013 and 6th May 2013. We travelled by Thomson flight and paid the extra £400 to upgrade to Premier Class. The overall cost of the package holiday was £2,500 online. If you've ever travelled long haul flight to the Caribbean I'm sure you appreciate just what nine hours does to... More
