The hotel did not meet my expectations. As a younger generation both my wife and i were getting stared at by the older generation who was staying there and made us feel as if we did not belong there. At a point an older couple yelled at us very aggresively in a foreign language because we were out in our balcony having a conversation. We felt very uncomfortable after the incident and we decided to ask the front desk to move us to a different room. The overall service was not great compared to other all inclusive resorts that we have stayed at in the past where the staff has gone above and beyond to take care of us. As far as food, the buffet was decent we had breakfast, lunch, and dinner but we were not really satisfied with the food. When it came down to getting drinks the servers only picked up the empty cups and did not cater to the guests and offered to get refills or another drink. Overall i would not stay here again.

Great resort! There was a little issue with a king size bed that I booked being called a request, but the staff was excellent and Maria rectified it quickly. She was great. Highly recommend Riu to anyone going to Madeira.

Riu hotel is Madeira clean and very good food, could add a few more things in the cooler in the room.but over all I would come back.
