Has anyone stayed at the Riu Resorts?

I know theres more people here than the travel board so I posted here, sorry. We might book the new one they just opened in Oho Rios, Jamaica. It just opened this month. How did you like it? Any pics?

Re: Has anyone stayed at the Riu Resorts?

I have stayed at the one in the Bahamas. It was okay. The lobby was beautiful but the rooms were just alright. Housekeeping wouldn't come until late in the afternoon, around 5, except for the day we were checking out and they were knocking on the door at 8am! The food was okay, I wasn't impressed. It seemed to take the staff a very long time to replenish food on the buffet and they didn't clean tables after people left so it was hard to find a clean table. For the price we paid, I can't complain. I wouldn't go back to one though. I rather spend the money and stay at Sandals or Breezes.

We stayed at the RIU Palace in Riviera Maya Mexico and it was GORGEOUS!!!! The food was excellent, the staff was wonderful.

The only gripe we had was that the pool closed down at 8.

We were going to stay at the one in Cabo but I heard mixed reviews so we switched to Dreams, which was excellent. I did see the RIU in Cabo while we were there and I'm glad we changed, it really wasn't my style - a really giant hotel.

We stayed at the RIU Naiboa in Punta Cana. We stayed at the cheapest of like 5 RIU hotels on one property. Our rooms were ok and the food was alright. But we met people who stayed in the Palace and they raved about it.
