I really loved how beautiful the property was and as a solo traveler , I felt very safe. I will say though they need to have better food offerings that cater to more people . I felt the food was bland so it was hard to enjoy but the place was so nice and luxurious.
Maureen, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you like large resorts, you will enjoy RIU Jambo. The food at the buffet and the drinks were very good. The bartenders were all friendly, especially at the swim up bar. The beach is beautiful and the warm ocean is very swimmable. We appreciated being able to find beach and pool chairs to use. My only disappointment was we stayed for three nights and were only able to make reservations at one of the two specialty restaurants that wasn’t a buffet - even though I logged on immediately after arriving in the early afternoon.
