1. We requested a king bed at our time of reservations and were given two full size beds. The beds were too small for us to sleep together and therefore we had to sleep in separate beds. 2. The air conditioning was not working properly and while someone did try to repair it, they were unsuccessful and the room was very warm and uncomfortable. 3. The door with the commode became stuck and we could not open it. We called for someone to repair it twice with no avail, as a result we had to go downstairs to use the public facilities. 4. We ordered the lobster ravioli and the lamb chops at the Venetian restaurant and the food was inedible. We had to leave the food.

We booked 2 rooms one for parents one for our kids aged 14 and 18. We requested a king bed for us and to be close to our kids room. When we checked in, we did not have a king bed but 2 doubles. The front desk decided to move us not telling us yes we will have a king bed but will be on the other side of the property from our kids. We asked if we could be closer to them so they put us back on the same floor as them in a unit that had an AC that did not work. It was easily 100 degrees in there. We moved again to another room again on the other side of the property. We were done with packing/ unpacking at this point and just stayed in the 3rd room. Our room safe didn’t work. The housekeeper never cleaned our kids rooms and they had no clean towels despite putting the sign on the door. The food was horrific with no taste. The buffet was the best option out of all. My Dad ordered cod in the Italian restaurant but was brought Mahi Mahi and not told about it. Totally unacceptable and a disgrace. Not enough outside bathrooms and no good night life on property. We all ended up getting food poisoning also. It is safe to say we will NEVER CHOOSE RIU AGAIN!!!

It took 3 requests to get repairs. Response time for security was very poor when someone was banging our door with a fire extinguisher and tried to get in my room! People were extremely nice. Great food.

Dangerous for families, they sold us tours from 3rd party providers, we end up on the side of the road because we decided to leave our van, the driver was driving recklessly, almost got in 2 accidents, we asked the driver to slow down, we had our 15 month old in the van, and he was not listening, so he stop and told us to leave. We went back to the hotel, asked for our full refund and they told us that there was nothing they could do to refund our near 1k dollar tour (6 of us). This hotel is a joke!
