"I rarely leave reviews like this, but my experience at Hotel Riu Negril was extremely concerning.
I checked in April 9 and had to leave early on April 11 (scheduled stay was until April 13) due to unacceptable conditions affecting my health and safety.
I have asthma, and the room was very stuffy with cobwebs, dirty floors, and poor air quality. The AC was not cooling properly and felt warm, making the room hot and uncomfortable at night. I was sweating while sleeping and unable to rest properly.
Housekeeping was inconsistent and poor. After reporting issues, cleaning was delayed, and even basic cleanliness was not maintained properly.
The dining area was also unsafe. I saw bird droppings on chairs where guests sit and eat, and staff ignored it even after being informed. Another guest was about to sit in it before noticing.
On top of that, I was constantly bitten by sand flies, leaving multiple bites and making my stay very uncomfortable.
The noise level was also disruptive due to doors slamming from nearby rooms, which repeatedly woke me up at night.
I have requested a refund for the unused portion of my stay and have received no response so far.
I am sharing this so management understands this is a serious issue—not just inconvenience, but health, cleanliness, and safety concerns that need immediate attention."
