Professional, Hardworking Team - Delivered Great Service right afterTropical Storm Helene
I just wanted to recognize the hard work of the resort team on my family's trip last week- they did a great job under difficult conditions and we had a wonderful vacation. Wanted to specifically recognize the servers Celia, Elda, Aury, Rodolfo and Israel and dance leader Tony - all of whom were outgoing and genuinely friendly in a way that made our dining experiences even better. I also want to especially recognize concierge Ruben. We arrived the night after Helene passed at 3am, and because of this there was no other team member manning the desk. He did his best under the circumstance to get us checked in promptly, and then when we had an issue with our room due to the inclement weather he went above and beyond to make it right, and saved our stay.

Unsafe and awful
Totally disappointed with this trip. On Wednesday morning around 5am or so during the storm my husband and I were awoken to a Spanish speaking female entering or balcony door. I was shocked especially since we were on the 5th floor plus we were in the throws of the storm. I asked her what she was doing and she said was sorry. I went to reception and spoke to a manager who was no help. He said it wasn’t his staff. He just blew me off. Extremely upsetting and annoying. I didn’t expect him to search the hotel for her but look at the cameras. I never felt safe the rest of the time there. The food was not the best. It was extremely bland. People around us were actually doing door dash. Ridiculous. Or balcony we couldn’t use because the paint was badly chipping and kept falling on us. We stayed at RIU Cabo and loved everything about it.

PERFECT
Great experience, all other reviews mentioned cleaning subject are 100% on point . As someone who looks at that and cares about this I can say well done riu, the boys who clean the beach of sargassum deserve a pay rise they work sooo hard in the heat and try to keep the beach clean constantly for guests. First time being at a Riu hotel and I’m surprised, enjoyed the experience and definitely will try more Riu’s. Staff are amazing , helpful. We got a room on riu party side which was a bit loud , as we wanted a calm and quite room the reception dealt with this very fast and without any issues we got another room which was quiet on the other side with the same beautiful ocean view. Food was okay as it is in resorts . Nothing special but everyone could find something for themselves so 3.4/5 on that. We was at the time of hurricane Helene , but that didn’t ruin our holiday the hotel is well prepared for these weather conditions and handles it professionally. Overall very pleased with this holiday !
