Really nice clean and comfortable room. All staff were attentive and helpful and even just staff walking around the resort would offer a friendly “jambo”. The all inclusive is great and the buffet is large with many options. Dinner at Ia was really good. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Amazing hotel to stay. Being an avid traveller, I can say this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed. The food is exceptional in quality and quantity. The staff are very friendly and cater to all needs. Such a lovely place to be to relax and enjoy the all-inclusive vibes. All staff are smiling and show so much care towards you. We were specially looked after by Abdallah who mostly works in Ginger bar and also Ibrahim who works in the restaurant. They looked after us so well. I'd 100% recommend this hotel and will be vising again

The resort is very large and spreads over a huge area which means it never feels crowded. There is a steep slope from the reception area to the restaurants and bars which would be a problem for less mobile people. Limited covered seating if/when it rains. Staff are a real asset as they are ALL so friendly!

Big resort with lots of activities and dining options. A little on the noisy side if you’re looking for serene relaxation. Villas are nicely spread out and spacious. New wing with private pool is cute. Sunsets are out of this world. Nice restaurants on site and great hospitality. The ocean… my oh my! That’s the best part.

Had a great stay, lot’s of sunbathing chairs, many pools, although the resort was at full capacity, it did not feel crowded. Staff are extremely polite and welcoming. Delicious food with lot’s of variety. It’s a resort to stay in the resort as there is not much around it to walk too. As soon as you go outside the premises, locals are quite insistants.

The hotel grounds were absolutely beautiful. The beach is gorgeous and the security keeps the vendors away from the sun loungers. The bar tenders were fabulous and so friendly. The promenade wait staff was a tad inattentive and it took multiple asks to finally get water or beverages with meals. Food was good. Overall had a wonderful 4 days at the Riu.

The food is fantastic. The best buffet we have ever experienced in a hotel - and we travel a lot! Also enjoyed the speciality restaurants where food and service - again excellent. The staff couldn’t be more friendly. A shout out to Nora (in Gingers) Rhoda on reception and all the pool staff - particularly the activity team - so good. Evening entertainment mainly good - particularly enjoyed the saxophonist and the high energy gymnastics. The lighting needs to be sorted as when performers used the floor around the stage it was difficult to see them. We also found our room quite dark - better lighting needed. Overall, we loved our stay and definitely would recommend

Great stay

Amazing hotel with super welcoming staff. Lots of activity and incredible variety of food. Able to use facilities of other hotel next door but not other way round.

Excellent hotel and service. Food was very good as well, with the caveat that the buffet was not always available (some nights were a la carte only). Limited entertainment, but it was enjoyable when there was some. I would choose this hotel again regardless of those two things, overall it was a wonderful experience

It's over 1 hr. drive from the airport but once you get to the hotel you would feel the peace and serenity around you enough to forget your journey. The newly built accommodation is really nice but they need to either get a king mattress of put a frame around the twin XL mattress to prevent them from separating if you roll towards the middle.
