    Best staff, food and location!

    We love this resort for the staff, food, beach and location! Gustavo and Pamela from RIU Fun team spent the time to get to know us. The doormen Francisco and Manolo were so personable and friendly. Head bartender who took our orders at main stage in evening, Manuel, always joked with us and remembered what we liked. Last was our dinner server at buffet Saydie was very efficient and nice. We ate at buffet only as food was fantastic and good variety. Beach was amazing with lots of lounge chairs. We’ll be back!

    Excellent

    I had a few problems checking in. It seems it was a new trainee, and she was left alone. She did not quite have the personality or attention to detail I have become accustomed to from Riu Dannellia customer service, could not have been more accommodating (Best room in resort 2126) except she could have stopped the rain for 45 minutes in the afternoon one day. lol She is truly an asset to your company I appreciate the smiles from the staff it means more than you think to travelers. only one small issue the service and speed in the steak house was not up to par either night we attended seemed way short staffed We felt like we were an inconvenience.

    Great Service, Needs an Update

    The food and service at the hotel well very good. Hotel is very clean. We had such a nice time, we extended the trip by a day. We have stayed at this hotel a couple of times and my only nit pick is that wear and tear is starting to show and the hotel really needs an update. The beach is great, but by the time we were there, last week of April, there was a lot of seaweed. Not the hotels fault. Still our favorite hotel.
