    One of my outlets did not work, they never came to fix it so we had to share one outlet by the bed. The power kept cutting off. I had a test to take and in the middle of it the WiFi went off out of no where, lights went out randomly and this didn’t happen once.. it happened about four times.

    Party resort, very fun

    Was not impress with the beach. It was like walking in mud and I kept getting stuck. Don't know what can be done about the beach. The outside vendors occupied the beach area in the water but they were just trying to make a living

    love the variety of food and drink. The entertainment was very cultural and historic. the variety of the music played was very good and catered to everyone

    The food was well below standard, worst i've ever had in Jamaica, maintenance of the property was poor (our toilet kept blocking), some of the staff on reception were rude and generally unhelpful.

    I liked the location, the size, the pools and the proximity to the beach.

    I wouldn't stay here again. There were small roaches in room. Pay a little more stay somewhere else!

    The rooms were dirty and paper thin walls. You could hear everything next door, upstairs and in the halls. I found small roaches in room that would mostly come out at night. The food was not all that great. Lacked flavor. They did have a wide Varity though. Most of the staff wasn't friendly. Seemed like they all hated their job. There are many other options for hotels. I would choose a different location. Maybe something a bit newer.

    The pools and beach was nice. Very close to airport.

    The walking distance to the rooms is long, no elevator to get on the second floor which seems like the worst walk to get up with your luggage, not enough bell man to help, service is slow. The door was locked and I couldn’t open it with the key only to find out the door battery needs to change so that was a long walk to the front desk then to your room to wait another half hour for service maintenance.

    The only thing I can say they can improve on are the beds, very low to the ground, not enough pillows and or cushion for the mattress. Couch in room could be updated. I will still stay again even without the improvements!

    Very clean, and I like how everything was right there. I wak out of my room and literally just steps from the beach, the vibe of the staff and guest. I traveled alone and I felt safe and cared for as most of the staff knew I was alone. I liked the walking proximity to shops and food off of the resort. I will definitely be back to this resort.

    Our bed was broken, it wasn't a King bed. It was to full size beds with wheels pushed together. And as mentioned one bed was broken. Our room flooded after a storm and we had to clean up the water that kept coming in throughout the night because nonone cleaned the water out of the hallways after it stopped raining. It was all coming into the rooms. I paid for an oceanview, which was obstructed by all the damn trees.

    Food was good and plenty of entertainment

    Riu uses recycled paper, so when providing a receipt, they also provide other guests name, date of birth and email address which should be private. RIU does not provide blankets in all rooms, therefore you have to practically beg for a blanket! We had to ask 3 times!! RIU does not provide drinking straws or stirrers for coffee, which is plain cheap!!! Most importantly RIU does not have elevators— I had to travel 4 flights of stairs with a swollen ankle. I will never stay at this resort again!

    The pools were abundant
