I genuinely enjoyed my stay at this property and felt safe during my stay as a solo traveler. While the room I had was quite basic—likely due to booking at the last minute and limited availability—it still provided the essentials for a comfortable stay. That said, there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to cleanliness, as the room did not quite meet my expectations in that regard. Despite that, the overall property is beautiful and well-maintained. It’s spacious, with stunning beach views that really elevate the experience. The staff were consistently pleasant, professional, and eager to help. I had a minor issue with one of the outlets in my room, and maintenance responded promptly and efficiently, which I greatly appreciated. One of the highlights of my stay was the food—it was truly amazing. As someone who is a fairly picky eater, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and variety offered. Every meal exceeded my expectations. Overall, the combination of a gorgeous property, great service, and exceptional food made this a memorable stay, and I would definitely consider returning—hopefully with the chance to book a better room next time.

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.

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.
