So, we stayed a week at the secrets wild orchid and nine days in this party bunker. I should like to make really no rise hotel bad, but I'm just very much and am also a small riu fan, but disappointed as in this hotel I have never been. I have stayed in four palace of the riu chain, but this is really none. It was converted to palace (abgeblich). I think the theme restaurants and the shower if you have a late flight. Apart from that, I can from a palace n …  read more

Dealing with complaints, or loss is improvement worthy!Older Riu hotel in drogenparadis Jamaica. Drugs are unfortunately everywhere present, despite prohibition. The food was for me as a vegetarian ok, there was a varied buffet. The service was rather average, we have in the room a gold chain with a trailer lost and wanted to know, whether this possibly ended up in the laundry is, but it was only the loss included ☺ Good for vegetarians. Vegan have it a little more difficult. Meat eaters will find a massive choice.It was missing always the handtuescher and partly the water. Room service is rather … read more

The service and a friendliness of the staff was exemplary. The reception team is very competent and at all times cooperative. The defected hair-dryer in my parents has 2 hours repaired. The employees are very polite and nice, try always to do everything. The cleaning of the rooms was exemplary, in the form of the evening turn down service almost too carefully. My room was always cleaned and well maintained. Fremdsprachenkenntnisse are almost not available, so english should you in your luggage. A german-speaking staff at the front desk was initially available. She was very competent and at all times approachable, it … read more
