I have been to many RIU resorts. This one is average at best. Average food, repetitious, HARD beds....and if you are looking for a quiet location......NO ONE MENTIONS THE FACT THAT YOU ARE SITTING ONE MILE FROM THE END OF THE RUNWAY. VERY, VERY, VERY LOUD. Never again for me at THIS RIU. More

We just returned from the RIU after spending 6 nights there. I always look at the reviews before and after a trip and make comparisons. I just read a review from Louisville that had a one out of five rating and complained about almost everything. I'm thinking that party must have been staying "up on the hill" or is being... More

Just an average place. Food was not very good, same food every day in the buffet and mostly greasy. Separate restaurants weren't very good either and my husand and I aren't picky eaters. One night in the Italian Restaurant I found a large bug in my salad of which the waiter made no reply, just walked away. Grounds were pretty... More

For our 30th wedding anniversary, we stayed at this resort. We very much enjoyed all the amenities. A complaint would be our bath towels smelled unclean, so we used our pool towels. Our room was very clean and the rest of the resort was very clean and tidy. The Asian food was a disappointment. The steak house was amazing and... More

We just returned from spending six days at the Riu and overall, it is an excellent hotel. The rooms are very clean and neat and the staff is extremely friendly. The cons are that the beds are hard, but I still slept very well. The food is good, but not exceptional (but they are working on that). If you ask... More

This was our first experience of an all inclusive hotel and it was amazing. We stayed in Block 5 which was really handy for the restaurants, beach and pool - room was excellent and extremely clean. The mini bar was refreshed every two days and although we are not great drinkers it was a very .attractive feature of the holiday.... More
