We went for this hotel based on the trust in the Riu brand, location, all inclusive basis and general good reviews. Overall the hotel was very good. We’d stop short of rating it as excellent based on some of the amenities looking / feeling slightly tired - probably on the basis of having been worked hard. Some key thoughts;
We visited during the Middle East war / crisis and consequently the hotel was much quieter than normal. Therefore everything felt more spacious, less crowded and easier to access. We wondered how our very good experience might of been if the hotel had been close to full as we were told is the normally the case.
The food was outstanding - particularly for an all inclusive. The choices were broad and quality excellent. The themed restaurants were also superb and easy to book. The Pan Asian and Sauté restaurants were particularly good.
The staff were brilliant, so polite, helpful and curtious - a real credit to the hotel and Riu.
There were 3 big pools but only one with an easy bar access which was also strictly (and enforced) adults only. That suited us but with parties including under 18s may be an inconvenience and something to consider.
The rooms were big, clean with functional facilities and simple decor designs.
The hotel is right on a stunning public beach. You can swim but need to take care due to big waves and strong currents.
Overall, we’ve done lots of all inclusives and this one is defiibately up there as one of the better we’ve experienced!

Before arrive. Asked for a room on a high floor because of noise. Got the room on top of the nightclub!!! Had 2 horrible nights before we asked for another room bcuz of no sleep. Asked 2 times, middle of night and in mornibg of safari. Told we were leaving for the day. Come back and went to the reception. The maneger were very rude. Told us it was too late to change room. Said we should skipped the safari. I was very sad and had no sleep for 2 night. After a LOT of discussion they gave us another room but downgraded us too a room without seaview. We accepted bcuz there was nothing else and we had to sleep!! They did not even say they were sorry or gave us anything for the room.. they could have us an massage or whatever bcuz of all the problem but they were just rude. Not a service from a 5 star hotell.

Lots of entertainment and activities throughout the day so never a dull moment. Would definitely recommend going with a group to make full use of the unlimited cocktails and beers.

I booked 3 rooms for 2 nights.

Positive:
* Staff was very professional and very attentive.
* Place was big with lots of activities
* Food was good. Buffets have a lot of choice.
* service was excellent
* clean rooms

Negative:
* resort was way overcrowded.
*Adult pool was overcrowded and dirty.
* Pool had 80% men staring at us the whole time
* People swimming in pool with regular cloths on.
* drinks and cocktails selection are limited with them being watered down.
* no bathroom or bed room amenities.
* beach access no life guard and when you step on to the beach you get harrased by locals.

Overall it will be a great place if they only allow people who stay overnight and not allow anyone on day pass.
Cost of everything is a bit too high for resorts in Sri lanka.

Disappointing Stay

Some of the facilities are closed by using COVID-19 as an excuse. For instance, after hour meal service would have been open pretty easily. Also, no snacks provided in bars. In general, the Rooms are pretty basic. No electric kettle or coffee making facilities. I doubt that rooms are in 5 start rating. The food is also average. Spread is quite poor and taste is also questionable. Pool is good also the pool bar is amazing.

Overall a great experience. Friendly and welcoming staff. They have 3 or 4 swimming pools, with a kids pool with slides and stuff as well. The buffet had lots and lots of items and was really amazing, (befitting the rate they charge). Although they don't keep any fresh juices even in breakfast. (They should be there for the amount they charge in my opinion). They do serve beers and basic wines inclusive. The pool and beach bars make cocktails and other drinks which tasted like concentrated syrup. We tried a lot of different drinks and all of them were probably the worst drinks I've ever tasted.
Rooms and facilities are great. No sauna or steambath and all that I think. Service by staff is very good. Pool is open till 8pm which was great for swimming after sunset. They have shades and umbrellas by the poolside beds, we needed them because it was raining but unfortunately they're perforated and only for sunshine, rain just falls through them. Overall I think it could be better for the price they charge.

This is a very good hotel. Staff are absolutely brilliant. Rooms were spotless and comfortable. Food was very good. 3 al a carte restaurants were all very good but only open 1 night per week each.
There are no bars/restaurants to go to outside the hotel. So the only bar is in the lobby or when a show is on they open that bar.
The pools are large enough and clean. An over 18s section would be nice as there is no quiet child free area.
Hotel trip prices were expensive. Just walk to the front gate and speak with the tuk tuk drivers. Can get very cheap transport.

Food was good (not great), staff were nice and friendly but the hotel was totally overrun over the weekend by a hundreds of locals which descended in a group that completely changed the relaxed dynamic of the hotel: groups of men playing volleyball in every swimming pool so unable to swim with small kids as they would get bashed upon, people spitting and clearing their noses into the pool, showering and washing fully clothed in the rinse off showers. Overall not very pleasant at all and we took to hiding out in the room instead.

Nice getaway

Overall we had a nice visit. The resort was in very nice condition and the accommodations plentiful. Good choices at the buffet were fantastic! I recommend this over the “sit down” restaurants since the sit-down restaurants are really only specialized buffets...not really sit down. Plus, we weee only there a week. When we called the first day, we could not get reservations to any of the restaurants until the following week? My wife complained so they found a “cancellation” in the Asian restaurant. It was only 1/2 full. Food was still very good, but still buffet and limited to Chinese. We had a small snack and went to the regular buffet. All good. Bartenders were great and we never had to wait for a drink. Only minor issue was housekeeping coming early each day. We would ask (more loudly than we wanted) for them to return later, but unless we actually go dressed and went to the door, they would stay and keep knocking. We could hear them, so I’m sure they could hear us. A great trip overall.

Nice hotel, but not 5* level

We enjoyed our stay, the staff was lovely, friendly and always willing to help. But the quality of food and drinks was a big disappointment. Food: 90% of items stay the same every day, 60% of those have \"flat\" taste, no seasoning is made. We we dreaming about good fruits before coming to Sri Lanka..there were fruits in the hotel, but if you go outside and walk 300m you can find a local market with much bigger choice and better quality. Why not give the clients this quality? Drinks: the milk is made of powder (the restaurant manager was very surprised when I asked to have the \"real\" milk..he actually said \"Don't you like the powder one?\" Show me the one who does), water is added in all juices and smoothies, all alcohol is of very bad quality and the choice of drinks is very limited.
We had a problem with shower in the room, the temperature was changing cold/hot all the time. We reported to the reception 3 times, the staff promised to fix the problem or switch the room. Neither the first, nor the second was done.
We agree that concidering the fact that you can eat all day and in unlimited quantities, the price we pay is fair..but since you call yourself a 5 star hotel, please think more about the quality.
The country is lovely and will definitely stay in our memory, but not the hotel.

Great Stay! Thank you for everything

It was really a great stay at RIU. The staff were very welcoming and nice, the food and variety was excellent and the facilities and rooms were really clean. The shows were really great as well. We loved being there. The only downer is that the beach is a bit too rough to swim in, and there is no watersports - ie. snorkling or jet ski, you have to go to near bye bentota to rent those. Its also quite far from attractions like elephants or tea plantations- 3 hours ride. The hotel though does keep you busy with its pools, and activities through out the day.

If you like more of A quiet stay ask for full sea veiw room on the right side of the hotel, away from bar and pool.

Avoid it like the plague!

Avoid this place. My wife and I were expecting a delightful 2nd honeymoon. Instead it was a nightmare. We had a late flight, so showed up after 10 pm. Restaurants were closed and the excuse for a manager took us to a filthy fridge with days old fruit and hot dogs as the only option. We asked for other options inside and outside the hotel, and we were basically told there were none. We were fuming. We left the hotel, found a Taj property about 20 mins away. It was less expensive and much more delightful. On Hotels.com, the property showed 24 hr room service, which was completely false. Do not stay here.

All inclusive luxury

Great hotel with plenty of food and very efficient friendly staff (better than Cinnamon or Jetwing). Food quality average as expected for mass buffet. Rooms large with superb sea views. 3 pools. Disco and daily night shows. Would have given 5 stars if better treatment of driver (no dinner for driver after 7:30 pm).

“Riu gem”

Over the years stayed in a few Riu hotels, this complex is no different.

From the name alone you are guaranteed friendly, courteous professional staff no matter what the position they hold is.

The food is tasty, with plenty of local spicey dishes to sample, the desert section is similar worldwide just missed local deserts.

The room I was in was great spacious, bed comfy with a fantastic ocean view of the crashing waves

Definitely recommend this hotel and chain in general, in fact I do regularly
