From the moment we arrived the hospitality was first class. Our luggage was taken to our room, we checked in within a couple of minutes and greeted with a drink.
The rooms are spacious with air conditioning, fridge, complimentary bottles of water everyday and, the maid service was excellent.
The grounds are very well kept with the gardeners very active in its maintaining
The pool area is spacious with enough sun loungers for all. No getting up to early to save one. Entertainment and sports around the pool on most days
Food was excellent with a varied choice everyday. Drinks, especially cocktails available all day, everyday with a pretty good list
Night time entertainment was fantastic with a very enthusiastic cast
Located 5 - 10 minute walk to the beach with plenty loungers
Overall an excellent resort with staff that I can praise highly enough. We will return

Our 3rd time here really enjoyed ourselves the staff are really friendly and helpful. Entertainment at night is a bit poor but we don't come for that, you might like it. Food is very good but like any other hotel it becomes a bit samey after a while. Would recommend electric bikes for the day. Good way to visit the island. No stress!! 😎🏝️😘

Sitio agradable. Atención amable. Comida variada y en general de buen sabor. No hay alternativas de lácteos para intolerantes a la lactosa o celíacos. El alcohol que se sirve en los cocteles es pésimo pero es el mal del que padecen todos los resorts así que no de sale de la normalidad. La playa es estupenda perohay que caminar unos 10 min desde el hotel.Los espectáculos nocturnos son variados y están bien. Las habitaciones son cómodas y limpias pero las tuberías despiden olores muy desagradables que no hay forma de evitar porque la habitación se comunica con el baño. Hay mosquitos así que es recomendable el uso de repelentes.

O espaço está muito bem arranjado e limpo. A praia é óptima são 10minutos a pé que se fazem lindamente. As pessoas que trabalham no resort são o melhor de tudo, nunca estive num sitio com pessoas tão simpáticas. O único aspeto negativo foi o restaurante asiático. A única palavra q me ocorre é péssimo, muito mau mesmo.

Adorei! É a segunda vez que venho e a qualidade antes do covid e depois emé igualmente excelente. Cuidados extras foram tomados para garantir a saúde de todos mas graças a deus não passaram a tratar as pessoas como contaminados andantes. Mantiveram muitas actividades ao longo do dia e o uso da máscara é limitado aos espaços fechados e aos bares. O pessoal é muito simpático. Um especial obrigado ao Mario que tornou o aniversário do meu marido mais especial ainda.Agora em termos de qualidade, posso dizer o seguinte: Os quartos sao espacosos, clean e as camas confortáveis. A comida é variada e boa. A praia é brutal mas tem que se andar um bocadinho mas vale mesmo a pena lá ir.

We stayed here over Christmas and it was amazing. The rooms were really clean and the beds were really comfortable. The staff were always very kind and happy to help especially at the bar and reception. You can walk to the beach which is where we spent lots of Christmas Day and in the evening there was a massive buffet with lots of sweet treats and savoury. There was an enormous Yule log and a sushi bar. The service was immaculate and the staff would never let the guests drinks get empty. The pools were so big and great to swim in on a hot day. On the whole we want to visit again soon.

The highest point of this hotel is the amount of options for food. A lot and simply delicious, like, everything I've tried.
The hotel itself is not the newest, but for me it was very good and comfortable.
Beach is not that close, so, depending on which room you are staying at, it will take a few minutes to reach the ocean.
Staff is extremely friendly.

This is supposed to be a five star hotel, it certainly isn't. The staff are lovely the food is good but I found the two specialist restaurants not up to standard. The hotel is old and needs a big overhaul. The ground floor room smelled of sewage the next room I was put in has problems with the shower first thing in the morning you have to run it for 15 minutes before it gets hot. The hotel complex is huge and it is quite a hike to the beach which is stunning! I would not come here again as in reality there is little else to do on the island but lie on the beach. The island is barren with little or no vegetation though the scuba diving is another world of stunning beauty.

Superb hotel with good service, good all inclusive with better than average food and drinks and good holiday entertainment in the evening.
Excellent swimming pool and well kept grounds
Rooms good but showing signs of wear, always spotless
Bit of a trek to the beach but well worth it when you get there, beautiful white sand and free sun loungers and all inclusive bars etc
Went with Tui and found it very good value for money.
Definitely recommend hotel, a little bit out of town but only a short cheap taxi ride into town, however the facilities and beach at the hotel are so good you don't need to leave.

Deseando volver algún día. Todo ha sido genial. El trato de los trabajadores es exquisito y siempre están haciendo actividades para entretenerte, pegado a la playa pero también tiene 2 piscinas, una con bar dentro de la piscina. En cuanto a limpieza todo correcto. Las habitaciones amplias, cómodas y acogedoras y siempre dispones de agua, café y té en la habitación. Tiene parque infantil. Restaurantes, cafeterías, discoteca y 2 teatros. La verdad que no hay lugar para el aburramiento y encima todo incluido. Excepcional.

This is my second time at this hotel, enjoyed it this time as much as the last. If your looking for a winter break u can't go wrong. Weather is great, hotel is a decent standard as are every Riu I've stayed in. Pool gets very busy I think due to the sea being rough and most days there are red flags are up, however the beach is a must see its beautiful.

Sinceramente esperaba más siendo laRiu y las estrellas que tiene. El hotel es muy grande, la comida muy normal y la animación malísima. Teniendo en cuenta que aquí no hay nada que hacer ni ver, deberían invertir mucho en entretener a los clientes, sobre todo por la noche.
