Riu Bambu: Wonderful holiday

My husband and I visited the riu bambu Nov 14th to 21st 2019. This is a very lovely hotel rooms were great beach was superb! We have been to the riu hotels many times in the past and always found them to be good resorts. If I had anything negative to say about the resort the only thing would be that the beds were like sleeping on a slab of wood. Very hard!

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Excellent Resort

The RIU is in a very nice location. The view is beautiful from our balcony. The friendly staff is always willing to meet your needs. Delicious food and drinks are always available. The comfortable room is great for relaxing in.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Wonderful Adult Resort

This is a really lovely compact all inclusive hotel. The whole place is very well kept and clean. In addition, I found that all the staff were welcoming, friendly, obliging, and very grateful in accepting tips - unlike a lot of other all inclusive resorts in the Caribbean where staff expect tips for everything and are surly if they don't receive them. The rooms are a good size and there are always loungers available by the pools. The poolside bbq of jerk chicken for lunch was absolutely delici [... read more]ous. The food in general was very, very good with a lot of variety. However, the system of booking the special restaurants needs a rethink on reservations. I think that Sunwing is at fault here. They should hand out a paper upon arrival of the dates and times that each of the special restaurants are available. No one on vacation wants to line up at 5:30 for a special restaurant to be told they only accept the first 50 people in line. I was lucky enough to get in at the Steak Restaurant and the lobster was fantastic. For night life, being right next door to the Atlantis has its advantages. Besides gambling, there are bars, a movie theatre and a comedy club available at the Atlantis. For a quick, five day four night holiday, I would definitely go back to this hotel in Nassau.

Riu Palace Antillas: Great Service!

My sister and I were very impressed by the service and friendliness of the staff. The resort was very clean as the buffet had different items everyday. Many have mentioned that the rooms are getting a bit dated which is true but the level of service makes up for any cosmetic shortfalls. I would definitely go back to this resort.

Riu Palace Costa Rica: Fantastic resort!

The RIU Palace Costa Rica was nothing short of amazing. The hotel is beautiful, the pools are big and the layout is great. The food was great as well!! If you are a beach go-er.. this resort may not be the place for you as there were very few beach chairs on the beach (I think the resort is more so for pool people I’d say). Then again, CR isn’t known for their spectacular beaches. I personally was OK with it but others may not be. The only thing that I wasn’t a fan of was the “restaurant [... read more] policy” if you will. You have to show up VERY early.. like 5:30pm to get a chance of being seated and if you don’t, you may be denied and there’s no second seating. That was extremely frustrating for me and my bf. The food at the restaurants was good but the “get there early” thing was very annoying!! But, overall a fantastic resort; we had an amazing time!!

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Great resort!

Resort was beautiful- Beach was gorgeous and warm, sandy bottom, Although had jellyfish lots in our party were stung. Food was amazing. No complaints. Didn’t crave anything. Italian restaurant could’ve had better options. Rooms great. Spacious, clean, comfy beds. Love the two-part shower (regular handle and rain style). Very touristy - many vendors on the beach and lots of water activities (parasailing, fishing boats, bar boat etc) too busy- not quiet and relaxing. But still beautiful [... read more]. Need more public bathrooms at resort. Too far from beach and pool. Although they were kept spotless. Servers in main restaurant were great and remembered us and what we liked to drink. Very welcoming. Shows were ok. Some great- the African show not good, the dating show hilarious! Reggae and the Rock show was good too. After dinner music boring - should be more exciting rather than put you to sleep. Should be better and FRESHER snack bar food at 24hr place. Animation team great! Spotlight was fantastic at pool for entertaining / band that tune and hosting games.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Our Go to

Hotel has become more of a party destination... had to change our room because being in the middle of a 50th or 40th bday gathering . Two double beds side by side suck and the pillows even with 4 each were really bad , woke up stiff and sore every morning. Staff is still amazing !! Food was good, spa massage was very nice 👍

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Amazing resort!

I loved everything about this resort! The staff, the food, everything was amazing. I highly recommend this resort. I can not wait to return. The best service we have ever received. Ever!! Cannot say enough good things about this property.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Great Holiday at an Amazing Resort

Attended a destination wedding which was wonderful, the resort did a great job. The grounds were immaculate and rooms were very clean. Actually the whole resort was very clean including the public washrooms, it was very impressive. Loved the 24 hour snack bar which included hamburgers, hotdogs, sandwiches, nachos, pastries, fruit, beer, coffee, tea, juice, pop and fresh popped popcorn which I ate everyday!!!!! The Jerk Hut on the beach for lunch was fabulous and loved eating on the beach. B [... read more]uffet had tons of options and could satisfy all. We traveled with a vegetarian and he was satisfied at every meal. Entertainment was great and the beach was the best on Bloody Bay. My only complaint would be our room. It was at the back of building 2 on the ground floor close to the road and beside a utility room that was used by staff so it was very noisy and had a sewer smell. We were surprised we had such a bad room considering we were one of the first to book months ago where people who booked later had fabulous rooms. Other than that we loved every minute of our vacation.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Pleasantly surprised

This hotel was excellent. Room, service, amenities, cleanliness, and food. Couldn't ask for better. Normally I would try to avoid the large buffet style restaurants, and eat at the smaller specialty dining places, but Riu Palace's buffets are amazing. Attended my daughter's beach wedding, which was organized by the hotel. It was perfect. A wonderful experience was had by all. Thank you for recommending this facility.

Riu Republica: Amazing resort

This hotel was very very very nice. From the welcoming to the service of the friendly and amazing staff I can say I will be back. The restaurants and buffet were very catering to the needs of the clients. Food also stocked, freshed and well seasoned. Im glad i made the choice to come to this country and stay at this Riu.

Riu Republica: Beautiful Resort

Beautiful resort, everything was always super clean. Well air conditioned. Nothing ever sat on tables too long at restaurants they were very quick to clear plates off for the next guest to sit down!!!

Riu Playa Blanca: Amazing Resort

I would like to start off by saying when we got in to Riu Playa Blanca resort we received a warm welcome at the very beginning we were offered a glass of rum punch and a sandwich to eat as soon as we got there. My group and I was blown away by the welcome treatment we received there. Also check in process was very smooth no problems. the resort was very clean and all the staff was willing to help in one way or another Mr. Domingo at the front desk was extremely helpful to me and also he went  [... read more]out of his way to help me in terms of a little issue I had with my room also Felix at the front desk was very helpful to me by arranging for us to get a rental car. They both was amazing and I am happy to say good word about both of them. The food was amazing and we had nightly entertainment which was assume also the disco was pounding well to have lots of fun at nights the only thing all the music was in Spanish we would of love to have a bit of mix music as there were lots of us from Canada. The hotel was keep clean every day and room service was good at all time in terms of getting my room tidy on a daily basis I have no regrets going to this resort and I will certainly go back again with my family we were there from November 7th to November 15th,2019 Thanks Khamrajiee Singh

Riu Flamingos: Not that great

The rooms are okay although we tried on three different occasions to get our safe unlocked (it was not able to be used from the get go) and never managed to get them to come to the room to fix it so we never had the use of the safe. We went with a party of 8 age ranges from 17 to 80. The very worst part was the pool although it says there's a kids pool don't be fooled both the pools are kids pools and there are a LOT of kids there in the pool with soggy diapers on, jumping and splashing when [... read more] you're just trying to relax. There's more kids at the swim up bar than adults and it's very hard to get up there to get a drink. There is no poolside drink service. The pool also feels gritty on the bottom and if you swim through the water you get hair caught in your fingers. The kids are everywhere when you try to have an adult game of volleyball the kids are swimming between your legs and all over the place. The food at the resort is pretty good especially the Italian restaurant, at the steak house don't order the top sirloin it's really tough but the food was good and it's nice not to have to make reservations. Most of the staff are not that friendly unless you jiggle your boobs in their face then it seems to be effective from what I saw. Overall I would definitely pass on this resort, I've stayed at other RIU properties and this one is by far the worst.

Riu Santa Fe: Mucho Fun!

This was our THIRD time staying at the Riu Santa Fe, and we know it won’t be our last. It really is like the adult version of Disney Land. Drinks and food all day, fun and sun. Not to mention the Vegas-like pool parties they throw 4x a week. They have something for everyone, relaxing areas and party areas and water slides! It’s always so hard to go home. If you’re looking for a quieter vacation with a little spice on the side -I would recommend the Palace next door and then you can still p [... read more]arty with the Santa Fe crowd when you want!

Riu Palace Macao: Terrific resort

Very clean inside, well maintained grounds outside, pools and beach area. Dining service can be improved. Servers should be thought that their first and foremost job is to serve the guests. Tips would come as a bonus not as an expectation first. Same as house cleaning. I generously tipped everyone, especially housekeeping because they work very hard. I observed this behaviour among some younger servers in dining areas. Reception service is extremely high and accommodating. Very pleased with r [... read more]eception.

Riu Republica: Beautiful resort

Our stay at Riu republica was nothing short of amazing. It far exceeded out expectations. Food was amazing, the beach was clean, could always find a chair. So many pools, it was clean! The service was fabulous, we didn’t wait for any meal service and never more than a few minutes for drinks. The entertainment staff really did a great job at getting people to have fun, but were not pushy for those who just wanted to observe. It being off season some restaurants were only open on certain days, w [... read more]hich was fine, I would suggest making sure you find them all when you get there so you don’t miss out on any amazing food! The buffet always has a great variety to choose from though! I would recommend this resort to anyone young or old. You will not be disappointed!

Riu Republica: Unreal resort

This resort is truly awesome in so many ways. It is very large with lots of room for everything to help with overcrowding and offers something for everyone The food was top notch especially the main buffet and the Italian specialty restaurant. The beach was big and beautiful and there is plenty of pools for everyone to enjoy depending on your mood. Shows were great and there’s lots of great things to do.

Riu Republica: Breath taking vacation

The resort was a 10 out of 10, the saff was very friendly and always busy cleaning , serving etc. The food was amazing in all resteraunts including the buffet. The beach was clean and not alot of pressure type sellers. Only minor complaint was the hard beds. Other than that the Riu Republicia was a great place and would go back. Thank you
