The hotel has plenty of amenities, friendly staff and amazing food options. The only improvement are options for kids clubs. Some of the activities my kids wanted to do either didn’t start or started late. The RIU art was awesome.

Stayed at Riu Jambo for 2 nights and had no complaints. The staff was amazing! From the General manager (Portuguese gentleman) to the front desk and cleaning staff everyone there really catered to me. It was my birthday and I ended up getting an early check in so they weren’t able to decorate my room as promised. While I went out for dinner they were able to clean up and surprise me with a bottle of wine and flowers, they decorated my room entirely, it was beautiful!!! My friends who were meeting me at checkout were able to get day passes and join me for breakfast and lunch for a really good price! Overall, I’m giving them a 5 and I’d stay there again and again! If you want good food, good drinks and a beautiful beach please take my advice and try Riu Jambo!
