At RIU, your wishes are our commands

Many of you are asking us about the renovations taking place at our hotels, giving us your recommendations, and even telling us how you like the results. At RIU we think your requests and suggestions are very important, so we continue to work to offer the most modern facilities and the best services, both in our new hotels and the ones we’re renovating.

In this post we’re going to tell you which hotels have been redone and which are going to undergo a complete renovation in 2016. Discover the changes we have planned. We hope you like them as much as we do.

This month kicks off a period of openings in which some of the renovated hotels are reopening: the Riu Monica in Nerja and the Riu Tikida Beach in Agadir. The most important news is that both are going to be “Adults Only”. This summer we’re reopening the Club Hotel Riu Papayas in Playa del Inglés on the island of Gran Canaria. Its facilities have been fully upgraded, and it is being turned into an “All Inclusive” hotel.

In November the ClubHotel Riu Funana will reopen as the Riu Palace Cabo Verde in a new category and with more exclusive services. In addition, the former ClubHotel Riu Garopa will be renamed the Club Hotel Riu Funana.

And, as for our hotels in the Caribbean, the Riu Palace Las Americas in Cancun will reopen in October. The Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas, located on Mexico’s Pacific coast, will be opening its doors again in December following its renovation this fall. Lastly, the Riu Palace Macao will be unveiling a new image in the Dominican Republic.

In 2015, RIU Hotels & Resorts invested €350 million in hotel construction and renovation, and this year it plans to invest close to €400 million. We work for you. We don’t just build hotels, we also build vacations for you.

    Please don’t refurbish the Riu Tequila in a modern style – we all love the traditional feel of the resort and we don’t want the soul ripped out of it – it only needs the bedrooms repainting and maybe some new sun loungers – everything else is just perfect as it is!

    • Riu Hotels

      Dear Anita,
      Many thanks for your kind words.
      Thank you and best regards.

            Hi there, I am looking at going to the Riu Bambu in October 2017 but wonder what renovations will take place in the hotel rooms. Will all rooms that haven’t been renovated be renovated, in particular will electrical issues and beds be replaced? Website offers no information and it is very frustrating. Want to book my reservation but hesitant to do so until I hear of renovations. Appears many people are wondering the same. More details PLEASE!

          • Riu Hotels

            Hi Joanna,

            There will be new deluxe rooms available and all rooms will be renovated with new TVs and fabrics and bathrooms with new showers.

            Hi we have booked the Tequilla for June 2018 but have yet to receive confirmation that renovations are taking place at the Tequilla in 2018. I have contacted both Riu and Thomson direct but neither will confirm details. As you have confirmed above that the renovations will be taking place – when will we receive confirmation, and will we receive alternative accommodation at another Riu hotel in Mexico? Many thanks

          • Riu Hotels

        To Whom It May Concern
        This is just a thought . If possible would there be any way to put a few artist renderings on the web site of what the Tequila is going to look like after the refurb . It would be nice to get a true look to keep people from guessing .
        Thank You
        Many Regards
        Roger

        • Riu Hotels

          Hi Roger!

    • Roger Garove

      I think they should at least put up the artist drawings so we can have a idea what its going to look like

    • kinley mcmullan

      Do you have any artists impressions of the new pools at the Riu Tequila? I think it is very sad that you have torn out all the beautiful Spanish/Mexican decor that made this resort so unique.

      • Riu Hotels

        Hi Kinley!

        We don’t have photos yet. We will share it with you when we have it 🙂

  • marie

    Hello,
    Riu Palace Las Americas is being renovated. What is being done ? Are new pools being put in ? Is the show room being redone or changed ? It would be nice to know what is going to change. There are rumors that it would change to adults only, which would be nice if this were true. One of my travel agents said that only a section would be adults only, so now I am confused on what is really going to take place. It would be so helpful if I knew so I could plan my vacation. Any information would helpful.
    Thanks,

    Hi there, just returned from Riu Palace Riveria Maya and heard there is a refurb due next year (2017) is this correct and if so when will this be from/until as hoping to rebook and will plan around this …
    Thanks

  • marie

    Since Riu Palace Macao was just refurbished what is being done that would cause the resort to be closed ?
    Thanks,
    Marie

    • Riu Hotels

      Dear Marie,
      Like you already posted in your question the hotel was just refurbed. There will only be a partial refurbishment. After the reopening you can find all official information on our website.
      Thank you for writing us.
      Kind regards.

  • marie

    Sorry about asking again, but to get decent air fare early booking is best also I am limited to time frame because of work. The first booking date on the riu site is Nov 12. That is about all the information I can find.
    In this blog I see ‘ the Riu Palace Macao will be unveiling a new image in the Dominican Republic.’ I love the Macao the way it is now and ‘New Image’ sounds kind of scary. Is the ‘Image’ going to change from all adults to family ? That water park that Riu is suppose to be build, does that have anything to do with Macao? This is a real puzzle since the resort just had lots of renovations. I would really like to book this resort, but not knowing the extent of these ‘new changes’ it is difficult to judge if they will be finished and open Nov 12.
    Thanks,
    Marie

    • Riu Hotels

      Dear Marie,
      The hotel will continue to be Adults Only.
      We recommend you check the information about the hotel on our website and on our socials media.
      Thank you for writing us.

  • Christine Nicholls

    So I’m confused in November 2014 we went to Cape Verde and stayed in ClubHotel Riu Funana the hotel next door was called ClubHotel Riu Garopa

    I’ve just come to book a return trip and found the names have changed
    ClubHotel Riu Garopa is now ClubHotel Riu Funana
    ClubHotel Riu Funana is now Riu Palace Cabo Verde

    Why??? I’m sure there will be some complaints of people booking into the wrong hotel

    • Riu Hotels

      Dear Christine,
      It is true. We will reform our Cape Verde hotels because we are constantly working on improving our facilities; we refurbish an average of six hotels a year. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back again soon.

    Hello. We just returned from our third RIU palace stay in cabo. We spoke with various staff members and were informed that the hotel would be closing for a three month remodel, later this month. None had many specifics to offer. Some were quite concerned for their job security, which I hope will not be a problem for your wonderful employees.

    Anyway, I have read through the older comments and questions above, with the limited information offered in response, but am hoping more insight might now be available, as to what is actually planned.

    The traditional colonial feel is what makes this such a stand apart place for our family, rather than the overdone reliance on brightly colored decor and trimless squared rooms which is to be found nearly everywhere else. This underlying aesthetic is not to be changed is it? Can you offer any details of what’s in store, or better yet a link to representative images of what to expect? Here’s hoping the heart and soul nof your amazing property is left in tact when all is finished.

    Thank you.

    • Riu Hotels

      Dear Rob,
      Many thanks for writing us.
      Stay tuned to our website for more information in the near future.
      Kind regards.

  • Gerry Collins

    Will the refurb of the Riu garopa be finished on time, what date? This will be our 7th stay at a Riu hotel, we love it!!

  • Valmai MacIntyre

    We LOVE LOVE LOVE the Riu Palace in Cabo San Lucas!! The only things I would say that would make our stay better (as we can’t wait to come back) would be fixing the room doors so they don’t SLAM all morning / night long as guests come and go. And maybe change the wheels on the maintenance / housekeeping carts so they don’t sound like a freight train in the hallway. Other than that IT’S ALL GREAT!! Thanks!! 🙂

    • Riu Hotels

      Dear Valmai,
      Many thanks for your positive comments about our hotel.
      We reported your comments to the corresponding departments, thank you!

  • Kerry

    I am traveling to Rui palace tropical bay in Jamaica in July/August 2017. Lots of the reviews say the hotel is run down and due a renovation. Several refer to a renovation happening in 2017. Is this true and if so when is this likely to take place. Worried that it will be either run down or in the middle of a revamp when we are there

    Do you have any plans to remodel the Riu Palace Riviera Maya? We certainly hope not. We love the old style that it currently has. Thanks.

  • Gordon

    We have stayed in various Rui hotels, mainly in Cancun and have been suitably impressed each time, the fact that you can go to various rui hotels in the vicinity being one of the benefits

    I have recently booked a holiday in the Rui Funana expecting to be able to use facilities in both I am now however aware that this is now not the case. Two friends arrived yesterday and advised me of the details.

    It appears that there is a security guard stopping the clientele from moving between hotels. This together with the very confusing name change from Funana to Cabo verse and the other to the Funana.

    Looking at your own booking info it shows the Funana as a dearer price than the Cabo Verde.

    Can you please advise if use of all the facilities between both the Cabo Verde and the Funana is allowed without restrictions. The main reason is that as you may be aware Sol is not exactly a throbbing area of activity and therefore use of facilities in paramount

    Thanks

    I booked the garopa (now funana) in advance of the refurbishment. We were told the hotels shared facilities and it didnt matter which we booked, at the time both were priced the same for our travel dates. This is our belated honeymoon and now find that it is no longer true and in fact we will have a very different holiday experience than guests in the other hotel. We are obviously disappointed.

    Hello! I just came back from the Riu Tequila. My friend and I both fell in love with the serving staff, entertainment team, decor, ambiance, and traditional feel of this hotel. It is perfect, an absolute gem, and we are scared that renovations of this hotel may tamper with the soul of this hotel. Please don’t make this hotel like the modern ones across the street. A reno of the washrooms (as sinks are rusting and tiles are cracking) as well as a revamp of some of the soft furnishing is all this hotel needs. Please don’t change the style.

    Are there renovations scheduled for the Riu Tequila, and if so when? Me and my friend would love to book another stay end of 2017 or early 2018.

    I recently stayed at the Riu Ocho Rios and hope to host my wedding there next year. However, I can’t help but wonder whether you have any plans to refurbish the exterior that is beginning to show wear and tear, and upgrade the decor in the rooms (at least on the deluxe side?).

    With such great food, staff and overall ambiance, I think a cosmetic upgrade would go a long way to making the Riu THE top family resort in Ocho Rios!

    • Riu Hotels

      Hi Marie,

      Thank you so much for your kind words about our hotels. At the moment there are no renovations scheduled for ClubHotel Riu Ocho Rios.
      However, we have forwarded your suggestions to the corresponding departments.

      Thank you for choosing us and we hope to welcome you very soon!

      Kind regards,

    Dear Riu,I have read on trip advisor thar the Riu Bachata/Merengue will close in September this year,is this going to be for refurbishment or for permanent closure.I have been to these hotels many times and it would be very sad to see them go.

    • Riu Hotels

      Hi Gordon,

      Thank you for contacting us and for sharing your concerns regarding our hotels in Puerto Plata. First and foremost, we regret the confusion that has been caused. The fact of the matter is that we are currently not sure if the hotel will continue to be open after October 1st, for reasons that we have no say in right now. From what we know, we will have further details on June 29th.
      We kindly ask you to contact us via [email protected] with your details if you wish to receive updates regarding this matter.

      Kind regards,

    been at a hotel in Amadores across from the RIU Vistamar in Gran Canaria for a week now, it’s obvious it’s being renovated but i’ve read somewhere it was supposed to be finished by august. it’s not finished yet, and on a previous comment you stated it will be finished by September, however that’s 2 weeks away and i doubt it’ll be finished, as it looks to be in a bad state. been watching it for a week now and i’m yet to see anyone working on it. what’s happening?

    • Riu Hotels

      Hi Lucy!

      The end of the works was planned for the end of August, but due to technical problems the work was stopped. Its reopening is scheduled for December.

    At some point, do you plan on remodeling Riu Palace Rivera Maya? We have been there many times, and have 2 additional trips planned within the next six month. We love the property, however, it is in need of updating. You have stated it is not on the schedule at this time, but wil it be at some point? I noticed many comments about keeping the current decor. Would love to see updating without changing the original decor.

    Hi Rui, We have booked to stay at Riu Tequila in Playacar in September 2018 – will it be refurbished before then? TripAdvisor comments seem to suggest it is scheduled for refurbishment in 2018, but don’t specify which months it will be closed.

  • ANNE ROBERTS

    Hi, I am really disappointed that you are renovating the riu tequila mexico to look like the the other crome and glass rius in player del Carmen . We booked to return to the tequila because of its authenticity ,and in all your replies you have said our wish is your command ,please go on trip adviser and see just how upset everyone will be if you rip the soul out of this beautiful hotel , I really do hope you just freshen the place up but leave it as it is

    Hi,

    Hotel staff informed us that the Riviera Maya will be undergoing renovations “sometime in 2018.” We have a wedding planned there in May, would you be able to provide more specificity as to when it will be undergoing renovations and what they will consist of? We’re excited for Riviera Maya but wondering whether we need to make other arrangements.

    Thanks.
