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.

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

Positives: The property is exceptionally well-maintained, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I visited with my elderly parents, and the team went out of their way to accommodate us by providing an accessible room and assisting with convenient beach seating for them. The buffet offers a wide variety of options, and the drinks are outstanding. The beach is pristine, the pools are excellent, and the evening entertainment is enjoyable.
Negatives: While the food quality is good, I was hoping to experience more authentic Jamaican dishes and local fruits, which were noticeably absent. The menu options felt similar to those commonly available in the U.S., lacking a distinct Jamaican touch.

Everything about this resort was just good enough to pass. The food is extremely mediocre but not awful. The Italian place was the only truly good meal. Many of the people working there are nice. A few bad apples as well. Maid service was not amazing, often no towels given. We asked for extra pillows for days, never received them. Sometimes the drinks were replenished, but not always.
The last day we were charged for the free WiFi. It was not explained to us how to set it up. My minor child misunderstood the process and so they charged us when it should have been complimentary. We were with a group of 18 all there for about a week. Do the math on how much they made off of us. Fixing this would have left a much better taste in my mouth. Instead the manager said this is a business. That says to me a business looking to deceive and rip people off purposely. We will not be back.
I’ve been to many all inclusive resorts and this one is towards the bottom. If you want to pay the same amount as a higher quality resort for mediocre everything this is your place. If you’re wavering, go with the other choice.
