Great Vacation
Staff was friendly and very informative about the property. The food was very good. They had a lot of activities and I notice also that they were doing there best to adhere to the new post covid 19. Will be back soon.
Hotel stay from hell
I can’t express how utterly disappointed I am in this hotel, the brand, the customer service and the responsiveness. I’m shocked and appalled. My room has had an awful mildew holder since I checked in on June 20. I promptly reported it on June 21. And I have yet to have this issue addressed since I’ve been here and it’s now June 23. We dined at the steakhouse here and the service was despicable. We entered at 8 o’clock and we didn’t leave until 10:30 PM. We weren’t served food until 9:30 PM. Most of the items were not on the menu any longer. This was not a steakhouse and should not be advertised as one. The service was abhorrent. Please don’t blame this on the service because they have no control over your bad service model. The check in process is horrendous. We’re herded like cattle and no one is made to feel valued and special when they check in. Your service model in this case is also abhorrent. There’s no comforter or bedspread on the beds. There’s no toiletries in the bathroom. I don’t understand how this hotel is still running at full capacity. It’s awful, simply awful. I now have to sleep in this room and it smells strongly of mold and mildew. I’m going to challenge this charge with my credit card company when I arrive home on June 26. There’s water leaking in the bathroom, which is where the mold is probably growing. The sign on the shower door says push when it should be pull. This hotel needs a full efficiency overhaul. I’m going to write the same review on every travel review website that I can find.
Amazing
Spent the week of 6/12 - 6/19 here for a girls trip with 1 other adult and 3 teenagers it being all of our 1st time in Jamaica…I had an amazing time there was a hiccup 1st due to apple vacations and I was ready to write the whole place off but I’m definitely glad I did not. I had an amazing time the staff was all friendly and was so helpful and kind. Zoe is amazing I can’t believe how many guest names she learns….I would come back just to see her…all the entertainment staff was great and helpful….the food was amazing for the most part there was some stuff that could have been better but everyone’s pallet is different and there were so many options to try…my fav would have to be the jerk chicken shack and the steak house….the drinks were amazing and surprisingly strong I thought with it being unlimited drinks being served they would be weak and they definitely were not and they were pretty tastey…My ac didn’t work for the 1st 2 days I was there but they did get it fixed….I had such an amazing experience that I am already planning a trip back……
Family Vacation
I’ve visited Jamaica a few times in the past, and stayed at other resorts, and I’m so glad, that staying at the Riu, was not my first experience. If this had been my first time, most be likely, I would have never wanted to visit again. The Riu looks nice, and the online pictures doesn’t do the place justice, but... The service the majority of the time, was terrible! Most of the employees had bad attitudes, and weren’t as friendly as the employees at other resorts. The room was okay, except, there’s no privacy in the bathroom where the shower is located. I had to ask several times for housekeeping to bring a shower curtain to divide the room for privacy for my family. The toilets were clogged up daily, it was extremely hard to call the concierge for anything, because the phone wouldn’t work. I had to request several times for housekeeping to leave enough towels for my family to the point where I just shared a towel with my children. The ceiling fan only has one setting, and didn’t make sleeping as comfortable as you should be while on vacation. I wouldn’t recommend allowing housekeeping to clean the room, unless you’re right there. A pair of my diamond earring studs, came up missing, and I’ve reported them to a gentleman at the front desk, who told me he wasn’t able to give me the name is the person who cleaned my room last. He said to continue checking with lost and found, and the housekeeping supervisor, or someone would contact me, but it never happened! The food wasn’t great, the fruit wasn’t sweet, and the cocktail drinks were watered down. The sports bar was the only option after a certain time, and all they served was SLOPPY watered down nachos, cold and hard beef/chicken curry patties, hotdogs, and expired tuna sandwiches! The entertainment stops at 11pm, and after that, there’s really nothing to do. I think the Riu can be very nice, but they have to STEP it all the way up with better food, drinks, more entertainment for adults.
Family Weekend Away
Rooms are ok, clean bathroom ok, we were given a king size only even though we had our child with us, so we used the sofa couch for him, room attendee was kind enough to set it up and put on sheets and pillows so it was fine... Food was basic, some restaurants on property were not open i guess do to covid so all used main all dining, which i was disappointed with that. Pool bar attendees were helpful and offered great service. Christmas décor was wanting, seemed like minimal was the order of the day, though the hotel seem to have a lot of guest, grounds was full, parking lot was full, kids pool area was not too full but good amount of guest with kids, my child love the pool area. overall an ok experience.
