“We went with a total of 3 couples and were in rooms 5048, 5049, 5051 February 20-26, 2020. The first day everyone's rooms seemed great! We were nearly in the center of the hotel with a beautiful room that looked directly over the courtyard and onto the ocean. Guests are not allowed to make reservations for any of the themed restaurants in advance, which they said shouldn't be a problem. But then when we'd show up at 6:30-7:00 pm, receive a buzzer and are told it's a 40 minute wait, then check at about 45 minutes and there are still 13 people in front of us? That didn't make sense. Unfortunately, we ate the buffet most days which kind of gets boring. Especially when their site raves about their restaurants. For our room 5048, the circuit breaker kept tripping in our room by day 2. We would enter the room, put the key in the slot for electricity and the circuit breaker would trip. Over and over. I only had a hair straightener in the restroom and a phone cord plugged into the USB port in the outlet near the bed. So it's not like we were overloading the fuse box. we continued to deal with it and fix it ourselves each time. I had to use the restroom in the dark a few times and even shower in the dark. Talk about a tripping hazard 🙁 Because the circuit would trip, we would come back to a damp room which meant damp clean clothes (No Air Conditioner going). We knew to leave our extra key in the slot while we were out of the room. That way our room would always be comfortable after a hot day... That wasn't the case. The worst part was on the last morning (early am) of our trip, the circuit kept tripping so much that it would kick the AC on and off and not allow us to be able to sleep. I was able to tell a utility guy day 3 and demonstrate the issue with him being he didn't seem to understand me, but that didn't fix the problem. I let the front desk know what was happening too and nothing was fixed. Than, to top it all off, the other two rooms flooded from the sprinkler system. (5049 and 5051). The floors were flooded which is where all their suit cases were open and laying out. The beds were soaked and the walls and ceilings were leaking. So much so, that water somehow got into the safe of 5051 and dampened their passports and any other personal items (money, jewelry, etc). No dry cleaning was offered for either couple, and the couple in 5049 didn't even get switched rooms and their room flooded later again that day. The couple in 5051 was switched to a room across from the hotel. We tried not to let it affect our last day/night at the resort. But we did spend quite a bit of money for having the poor experience we did. The worst part about it all, is RIU refused to take responsibility nor address our experience. We booked the trip through a local travel agent who then booked our trip with Delta Vacations, who then books RIU.RIU responded through email after our trip and did not take any responsibility at all. They said they fixed the electric problem the first day which they clearly did not. They said they offered laundry services and switching of rooms, which they did not. They also try to say it was a “small” leak, which it WAS NOT!Very very poor customer service, do not waste your time booking with RIUCheck out their response below. Notice how they made it about the food and not the actual issues like the circuit breaker tripping or rooms FLOODING?! Typical generated response, wouldn’t have expected anything more. Save your money people. AVOID RIU!!”

“Un hotel fantástico, amplias habitaciones con grandes vistas a la playa, y en el otro extremo, hermosos amaneceres. El hotel es el entorno ideal para fotografiar, hermosos jardines, y una playa fantástica. La comida es bastante regular, eso sería el único pero que le pondría a este gran lugar.”
