Punda accommodation with hot tub in room

Clean rooms, great AC, friendly and helpful staff, huge main swimming pool with a large variety and quantity of shaded poolside lounging furniture, great multiple bars, an awesome little pastry/cafe place (best cappuccino), and nice beaches. BUT with disappointing food quality, amateurish at best, this is not a 5-star resort. Strongly recommend that the Rif (as well as the adjoining sister property) focus more on getting high quality chefs to warrant more than an overall 3-star review. Don't waste your money staying there.

The rooms were big and very clean. Housekeeping clean very well. Food was very good. Liquor was good for well liquor. No hangovers. My wife and I wished the staff was more friendly. It was hard to get a smile or a goodmorning from them

The location was good, but the hotel itself was very dirty. The cleaning staff did not appear to do an adequate job. The toilet smelled strongly of urine, and the sink had a foul drainage odor. There was also a leak coming from the AC unit, and another leak—either from the shower or the sink—that we could not identify. I am very disappointed with the housekeeping at this hotel. We even had to purchase our own cleaning products to clean the toilet because we did not feel comfortable using it in the condition it was in.
