Family reunion

Great family vacation.Service was exceptional especially the activity and entertainment staff. Lots of activities for all of us. The layout of the rooms in villas was conducive to prvacy yet great access to everything .Rooms were comfortable and large.Food was good in that there were some Jamaican offerings but mostly catered for a european diet. With respect to the special restaurants ,two of the three were good which is a good average .The condition of the resort showed some wear but very clean. Overall, we would come back.

This was an awful experience! I did not feel like I was at a Riu resort. The food quality was terrible and very lazy. The room service food did not match the pictures of menu descriptions. They are giving people left overs and food made earlier that afternoon for room service. When I called room service to ask why the food quality did not match that of other Riu’s. I was told that it was because they had no overnight cook and the head chef instructed them to remake the food and serve it throughout the night. That means the sandwich I ordered at midnight was made some time that after noon. This is unacceptable for a Riu. Also, I hurt myself in their gym when the strap on a piece of equipment snapped, throwing me to the ground. Due to this, I have to extend my trip and stay longer until I am healthy enough to fly. when I asked the hotel managers how I could contact the review to voice my concerns for the stay I experienced. they voluntarily gave me the wrong phone number. I waited four days and received no response. Then I called the review. Customer service general inquiry line a person there explained to me that those two managers gave me the wrong phone number and then he proceeded to give me the correct phone number so I can find some rectification for this incident with the review has put me through as a guest is absolutely shameful. I would never return to one of their properties again Expedia seriously look into what they are doing.

I have visited the Riu many times over the years and its a wonderful property, but the quality of the staff has gone down ( at least towards Black women) but Big up to Chinroy, bellhop and Karen in the dining hall who know what good hospitality is👍 More than their peers. But the property remains beautiful and well maintained
