Besides the AMAZING staff members, the resort cuts out of power every other hour. Making it challenging to charge devices or to keep the room at a cool temperature. Hour room was out of power today for over 2 hours before check out. Beautiful resort though.

Staff amazing they cannot do enough. Room 1st room i was told was upgraded but what they gave me was a downgrade. I opened the balcony doors and the view i had was a construction site for a nee hotel being built. The noise was intolerable as it started at 7am and continued well intonthe nightpast 9pm. I complained and was moved the following day to another room away from the noise and site. The new room came with a blocked sink and a shower that leaked into my room through the wall. I had to complain again the sink was fixed but the leak from the shower was not and we had tonuse towels to mop up the water. We always had to ask for towels as they would not be left after the room was cleaned but this was easily rectified by a quick call to reception. I have to say that the staff at the restaurants where amazing and attentive. Food was fanatastic even for a veggie like me lots of variety everyday. All in all it was a pleasant stay, location outside of the hotel was not great. The beach and sea were magical, plenty of sun longers etc. Check in could be better as our flight arrived at 7am and we could not get a room till 3pm but we did have full use of the hotel facilities.

We’ve never booked with RIU resort’s, and now we know why. Noisy beds and housekeeping can’t clean properly. Property is very lovely. Beach area is ok, but you will be harassed by locals. Some of the staff have attitude issues also. Will be returning to Africa, but won’t use RIU ever again

This resort is perfect. We had absolutely no complaints. Food was excellent. Staff was excellent. If we needed anything for our room, it was provided immediately. We booked safari, Safari Blue, Snorkeling and jet skiing through the hotel and they were very reasonably priced and exceptional. Thank you Rui Jambo for helping to make our visit to your island truly memorable.

Had a great time-beautiful views, excellent service, great food options. The only problem was the construction site that was very noisy mainly in the mornings when you wanted to sleep in.......so we had to upgrade (pay more) to be moved to a different side.Otherwise everything else was GREAT!!!!
