    Birthday week

    We had the most amazing stay at RIU, we were celebrating my son’s 9th birthday. Everyone we met was so nice, polite and friendly with big smiles. The food was great. This is a definite return resort for our next travel

    Love the hotel, staff was amazing, as was the food. Not a great location for tourists, not really close to anything touristy.

    Nice hotel in a busy street

    Hotel was nicely decorated for Xmas. Rooms are very spacious. The breakfast buffet was good although very crowded. Hotel is centrally located close to the Mall and uber ride to the old city is easy, although there was a lot of traffic in the area around the hotel.

    A perfect hotel for accessing attractions.

    Staying at this hotel at the moment, day three of a seven night stay, really love it here. The hotel staff are so warm and welcoming, and the location is perfect for accessing local attractions. At the moment, the restaurant seems to be fully booked with work parties and I can see why the venue was selected. The buffet offers so many choices with good quality, exceptionally tasty food. The rooms are spacious and extremely comfortable.
