Recently went to riu merengue for a week with Thomson. Was a little apprehensive due to reading the reviews before we booked. When we arrived at the hotel we had a lovely fruit cocktail, got given the key to our room straight away! Our bags arrived at our room in the next 10 minutes. Our room was very clean, we... More

I never thought I would write a review like this for what used to be my favorite place. We have been to Riu Merengue about 12 times. There are certain things we came to expect.

My friend and I went to this property in March and really enjoyed ourselves. Our room was in the 'Gardens' which, I suppose, is the least fancy of the sections that comprise Riu. Our room was clean and adequate but not fancy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was great by comparison to the resorts I have been... More
