Riu Palace Aruba: Needs an Update

The staff is nice, helpful, friendly and attentive most of the time. The rooms are terrible, old, they smell, the standard rooms are terrible. Very bad circulation the floors are always wet and slippery because the air temperature doesn’t work properly. They need more entertainment around the pool. The beach workouts and yoga in the morning are fabulous she’s great. The food is decent. Always something to eat for breakfast and lunch but dinners suck. Food is repetitive and not tasty at all i [... read more]n the evenings not sure why. The place needs a makeover for sure and the food quality needs to get better. It’s ok but nothing special. This was our 2nd time first time was much better which was 8 months ago looks like the place is going down hill. Wouldn’t go back. Adult only next door so nice.

Riu Montego Bay: Fantastic time

Love love love the RIU resorts. The RIU Montego Bay is an older resort but apart from the rooms, you wouldn’t really know. The furniture is the give a way as it’s old style but the rooms are Kept very clean. Bathtubs are dangerous with no rubber mats, especially for seniors. Walk in showers hopefully will be in all rooms when this resort is renovated next year. Only one elevator worked in our building and that was questionable as to how long LOL it creaked, groaned and thumped each time. Th [... read more]e grounds are lovely, smaller resort so not a whole lot of walking. Beach is lovely, however it is not a long one to walk. All staff are very friendly and eager to please. Especially in the restaurants and bars. Entertainment crew are fantastic. We had so much fun. As repeat guests at other locations we always got a bottle of nice wine or champagne, fruit plate sent to our room, this location did not acknowledge this. Was surprised that you couldn’t get mimosas at breakfast, infact the only time we saw champagne was at our daughters vow renewal celebration. Out of the three “a la carte” restaurants there was only one that was, and at that it was only the main meal that was served to you. All in all really had a great time, we travelled the week of August 25-September 1,2019. Family of 12.

Riu Republica: RIU Rep

AMazing place and it was just like the agent told me, like the experience. especially with the supervisor Victor who was there to help, assist and reply to all the needs. You can tell, he is very caring and very professionnal . He makes our stay ( my friend and i) very easier, I just don t like the fact that the hotel asks you for an extra fee when you have other friends from other hotels visiting you ,,, that s really unfair and staying in a hotel is like your home , so you can have visitor  [... read more]as you wish. Planning another trip for December, this hotel could be my choice but that lil fact could be an issue to make my booking. At the end, i can recommand that place, food also is great except for the desserts who don t have any taste.

Riu Reggae: Amazing resort!!!!

Best resort ever!!! Amazing entertainment team, food and location. Very clean rooms and resort. Great for singles, couples and people looking to have a fun time. Beach could be a little nicer but water was warm and calm. Very nice pools, both with swim up bars.

Riu Reggae: Fun resort!

Spent 7 days at the Riu Reggae Montego Bay resort. Upon arrival we were greeted with mimosas and quickly checked in. The resort is very nice and modern, spacious while not being too big and has a lot of amenities. We also had access to the amenities at the Riu Montego Bay resort, which was about a 5 minute walk away. The food was great and they had lots of vegan options. One complaint though is I wish they'd have had more late night vegan options other than fruits and dry nacho chips. Maybe the [... read more]y could've offered salsa and guac instead of just nacho cheese sauce. The rooms and resort grounds were clean, the staff gave great service and the entertainment team was amazing!! They work so hard but they're always smiling and wanting to hang out or play games with you! We're gonna miss the people here! Overall we had a great time and can't wait to come back! Btw this is definitely a party resort so be ready to dance all day and night!

Riu Bambu: AWESOME RESORT

alot of small shops in the resort, riu bambu is connected to all riu hotels so you can walk around and see the different shows. there are pool parties in the resort that run during the day and night. food was really good also and service was great

Riu Playa Blanca: My stay in Riu playa blanks

I have gone to many all inclusive in the past I was very disappointed Our room plugs was not working There were molds, drawers smelled so bad, spiders and Roaches were in our room and bathroom, no conditioners Ohhhh towels very very old and smelly, we were told to take our luggage’s to our rooms, only once our room was cleaned in other resorts our room was done at night, rooms were not swept only with a dirty mop was mopped and hair was everywhere I am so disappointed at the beach there [... read more] were horse dripping everywhere, stray dogs and dogs dripping, pools were extremely dirty and smelly, we paid extra for ocean view we hardly could see ocean our room was facing garden and entertainment stage it was very loud and disturbing there were 8 out us and we were all so disappointed,

Riu Republica: Great resort very clean amazing restaurants

The grounds were always clean, nice staff beautiful hotel rooms. Good location. Pools were always clean Good entertainment!!!!! I really liked the hotel and location. Younger crowd. Lots of choices for a la carte restaurants.

Riu Republica: Beautiful beach

My 18 year old and I enjoyed the beach every single day. Very clean and plenty of loungers to choose from. We did visit the pools and the water slides too. So many lovey places to swim and different music to enjoy at every pool. Wish there was music on the beach. We enjoyed the buffet (thanks Lorenzo for making our table so lovely at breakfast and dinner) & the jerk chicken (on the beach) was great! They will even Saran Wrap your plate so it’s easy to bring to the beach! Very clean resort ov [... read more]erall. We were sad to leave but hope to return soon!

Riu Republica: Loved It

The grounds were beautiful,park like especially at night.The whole resort was constantly maintained-gardening,painting,cleaning.The food was delicious with a constantly changing menu.We even drank the water and ate the ice cubes with no negative results.Our room was spacious and cleaned daily. Our shower drain was rather sluggish and was fixed the same day as complaint was made.The only improvement could be with the entertainment which was similar most nights with different themes. Staff was fri [... read more]endly and courteous.We would highlyrecommend this resort .

Riu Republica: Riu Republica - A sure bet

This was the first Riu I had ever been to. I was drawn tot he Riu name as they are a chain and they also have 5 star resorts. We were impressed by many things at the Riu. The food was fantastic - the amount of food choice, the quality and variety were outstanding. It was comparable to being on a cruise ship. It is a large resort and the grounds were immaculately maintained. Staff were friendly and the service was good. At one point our shower drain became clogged, but once reported to the fr [... read more]ont desk, it was quickly and efficiently dealt with by staff. The one recommendation I would make to anyone thinking of going to this resort - take an adapter for the wall outlets. We didn’t realize that one was required so my electric toothbrush could not be plugged in for the week. Luckily the rooms did have USB ports in the room so charging phones tablets was not a problem.

Riu Palace Baja California: A five star experience!!

This resort exceeded our expectations! My daughters and I were very impressed by the facilities, the food, and the exceptional customer service. The whole experience was fantastic! We would definitely consider going back. The facilities are beautiful and impeccable, the location is great, close to the airport and right next door to the other two Riu properties and their amenities. In particular, the staff of the hotel made it an unforgettable experience as they went above and beyond the [... read more]ir duty to make us feel comfortable and to provide an amazing service. From the staff at the beach and pool, setting up our chairs, umbrellas, the towel personnel, the bartenders, chefs walking around to make sure the food was to our liking, etc. in sum we would 100% recommend this resort. The only hesitation would be the beach; however, we were warned ahead of time that we could not swim in the ocean, therefore, we needed a hotel with a "good pool" and this was for sure the right choice fo that!

Riu Palace Paradise Island: The best all inclusive we’ve been to!

Beach: best beach I’ve been to (I’ve been to Cuba, Jamaica and Mexico) Hotel: absolutely gorgeous. Clean and well air conditioned. Food: amazing food! Even the buffet food was great. Customer service: the workers were all super nice and pleasant. Overall, the best all inclusive I’ve been to!

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Beautiful Resort

This was my first time at an all inclusive and I absolutely loved it. The food was great, a wide selection of restaurants and the jerk chicken station was amazing and freshly served! The beach was beautiful and the staff service was exceptional.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Perfect Honeymoon Experience

The beach is beautiful, everything is so close by to the resort. Lots of restaurants to choose from and the buffet was always delicious. Our favourite was the little cafe. The service at the resort is great.

Riu Republica: Fun resort with lots to do!

Hotel was very well maintained, very clean. The food is amazing, service is great, all the employees are happy, willing to help and make your stay more enjoyable. The beach was very clean, no seaweed/ rocks. Would recommend the pool/ jungle party! Overall great resort and vacation!

Riu Santa Fe: Amazing potential but cockroaches in building 7

We needed to change the building because in villa #7 are huge cockroaches and we found even in our bed. The pool guys are adding Clorox in the middle of the day when people are in pools. No security guys and often people are fighting. In 8 days I cut two fights and no security showed up. It’s the same food every day, no changings at all. You need to go find a table and ask to be cleaned so you can have your breakfast or lunch. The cleaners crew starts the day at 5am and they are very lou [... read more]d, no rest for you when you hear them talking and their wagon up and down. Even when you have no sign on the door to do your room, they are still knocking asking if you want cleaning. Very good resort for adult parties, lots of activities and sometimes kids club available.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Beautiful Ocean Front Getaway

The resort exceeded my expectations with its cleanliness and mostly friendly and accommodating service. Everything was close together, only steps away from the beach. The hotel property had an intimate feel but a grand appearance. You never felt crowded or rushed and options for food, activities, fun or relaxing were plenty.

Riu Republica: Beautiful large clean resort

The riu republica was a beautiful large resort. Rooms were nice and clean as well. Our AC brook near the end on our floor but was not to hot as the fan still worked and I think some cold air still came out. The food was amazing, had everything I could think of with lots of flavour. Many restaurants that are all walk in, no reservations. The beach was AMAZING! Never had trouble finding laydown chair or shade. The beach water was clean and not rocky at all. No special snorkeling ability on Th [... read more]e beach but easy trip to plan. On the beach there was kayaks and those wind sail boats to use free of Charge. Never used the pools but was very pretty. Great resort if you like to party. The hotel takes you off the resort to pool parties that were the best parties according to my 3 male friends. The staff were super friendly and always in a good mood. At night there was a disco that was always full. The shows were a 7 out of 10 when I compare to what I’ve seen ( I never expect much from the shows) One thing a really liked about the bar is that they Had a drink menu so it was easy to try many new things at a busy bar. Great resort! I would totally go back 😄

Riu Guanacaste: Amazing Resort

Everything about this resort was great. One of the nicest, cleanest resorts I have ever stayed in. The staff was helpful, friendly and very accommodating. The FOOD was fantastic. There was so many wonderful food options. We ate like Royalty! Everything about our stay was great. I highly recommend this resort.
