Duval, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a wonderful vacation experience. I would have rated my stay higher if not for the construction work being done on the north side of the property. It was very loud, and quite a scenic takeaway, considering that I booked a room with a balcony and ocean view. Aside from this let down, the staff, events, food, and overall property were lovely.

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.

Amazing hotel the staff were always very smiley and super helpful. They were the highlight of the stay. The complex felt super safe. We used every pool and the beach area for relaxing. We also had the chance to book the restaurants in the hotel which all offered something different but were all great quality.

What a wonderful hotel at the best location with excellent servis, facilities and food
Caroline, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful
This is a great choice for a relaxing break. The facilities are excellent and the hotel is more than adequately staffed, who cannot be faulted - efficient, helpful, and all with a smile on their faces. The whole place was spotlessly clean and the grounds, the beach and the garden exquisitely maintained. The quality and the variety of food available for each meal is incredible, with the menu changing every day. The two points that need attention are (1) controlling the traders on the beach so that they are not pestering anyone obviously not interested in buying anything, and (2) the luggage trolleys going along the corridors to the rooms facing the beach can be a bit noisy as those corridors can act like a bit of an echo chamber. But these are minor points in the grand scheme of things.

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.
Susan, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Riu Jambo had all amenities and activities that I did not feel the need to leave the hotel to book excursions outside. Very convenient, friendly staff, helpful. Mini bar in the room was excellent.
