4/10 Fair

Disappointed that from the moment we arrived we were told varying information regarding the 3 all inclusive bookable restaurants in the hotel. First it was wait until 3pm, then wait until 4pm, then the app is closed for today try at 7am tomorrow, then the restaurants are closed some days due to low season. Had we known this when booking we would have chosen differently. We were not able to go to any of the restaurants during our stay; Yunnan was close every night, we saw Kulinarium and Il Panzotto once once each with less than 50% of the seats taken. We had to eat at the buffet each night which was fine but very repetitive. Another small annoyance was that we requested a late check out but were told to come to reception on the checkout day to find out if we could have it (which we could not). The facilities were great, room, pool and beach were lovely. Staff were very friendly but the systems seemed outdated and they all had different information.

If you like large resorts, you will enjoy RIU Jambo. The food at the buffet and the drinks were very good. The bartenders were all friendly, especially at the swim up bar. The beach is beautiful and the warm ocean is very swimmable. We appreciated being able to find beach and pool chairs to use. My only disappointment was we stayed for three nights and were only able to make reservations at one of the two specialty restaurants that wasn’t a buffet - even though I logged on immediately after arriving in the early afternoon.

I really loved how beautiful the property was and as a solo traveler , I felt very safe. I will say though they need to have better food offerings that cater to more people . I felt the food was bland so it was hard to enjoy but the place was so nice and luxurious.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful

This is a great choice for a relaxing break. The facilities are excellent and the hotel is more than adequately staffed, who cannot be faulted - efficient, helpful, and all with a smile on their faces. The whole place was spotlessly clean and the grounds, the beach and the garden exquisitely maintained. The quality and the variety of food available for each meal is incredible, with the menu changing every day. The two points that need attention are (1) controlling the traders on the beach so that they are not pestering anyone obviously not interested in buying anything, and (2) the luggage trolleys going along the corridors to the rooms facing the beach can be a bit noisy as those corridors can act like a bit of an echo chamber. But these are minor points in the grand scheme of things.
