Great hotel

We had a most enjoyable experience. How we experience the benefits of being in a new hotel. I was very impressed with the hotel design. And everything seems to flow smoothly with the architecture. The beach was long and wide, and this was a great advantage given the fact that the hotel was quite full.

The property was really nice and updated and the food was delicious. I gave it 3 stars because the staff are not as welcoming and friendly in this resort which is why I visit Jamaica so often , the people are usually much nicer. Also I had an incident where after housekeeping had already cleaned my room for the day, they just walked into my room at 10pm after my husband and I just showered and we were not fully dressed, when she realized we were In the room she asked if we needed anything. Which was odd, like she didn’t expect us to be in there. I asked the front desk and they told me themselves that was not normal unless I requested extra towels or something (which I didn’t) . That incident made me realize there are no additional locks on the doors while you are inside the room. Just the standard lock that opens up with the room key. So basically anyone can come into your room at anytime even while ur sleep. Which is odd for such a new hotel. I had a good time but would not return or recommend.

Staff was friendly and very helpful Rooms were clean and spacious Buffet and all restaurants were very good. Entertainment staff was energetic and fun The only complaints would be the music after 11:00 pm until 1:00 am was very loud and it was difficult for the children to fall asleep … Considering this is a family resort they catered the evening to the adults only section

So, I always like to read real reviews with the good and not so good. Here is my take…it’s a beautiful property. We had an ocean view room that was outstanding. Beds are doubles not queens. Water is gorgeous and the beach is great! Housekeeping always did a wonderful job. We loved our housekeeper, Adriana. She was so friendly and courteous. We also loved the beach attendant, Mike, the bartender in the sports bar, Irman, and the two snorkel captains! The water slides are excellent for kids 7 and up. There is a height limit of 48 inches, I believe… my kids absolutely loved them! The food was ok. There is one large buffet and one pool side food bar. Wish there had been a few more places to choose from, bc getting a reservation at the restaurants was hard! The restaurants are smaller in nature and don’t hold many... Also note, there are three pools; however, the one in the middle is adults only. It can get very loud and sometimes rowdy, so you will hear the music while at the other pools. We loved the sports bar area. My kids loved to play pool there. As for the main gift shop…one of the attendants actually yelled at me bc I didn’t want to buy a shirt for my child bc it was big, and she literally yelled “Buy the shirt!” in not a nice way… I then realized they must be on commission bc there was absolutely no reason to yell like that at me. That sales rep needs some major coaching. RIU needs to work out a few kinks bc it is so new… but we did enjoy ourselves!

The staff was very friendly and attentive, they cleaned your room everyday and changed our towels. The restaurants were awesome, the steakhouse was great, the Italian was our second favorite and the buffet food was fresh and really good. The Jamaican show was my favorite. We really enjoyed our stay there. Great experience and service from everyone. We will definitely come back.

We went with our 2 kids for mid winter break and had the best time. It’s very family friendly and not too loud at night. You can find fun stuff to do but if you want quiet, they offer that too. The 3 different pools are great and I like that some are kid friendly and not. The water slides are really fun and the food was good.
