Having stayed at the Radisson for the past 6 years and adored everything about it, Let me say that the Riu is nothing like it. We only kept our reservation there for January as the Riu would honor our Radisson rate and free night. This was our 26th year in St. Martin, and we are not interested in all inclusive. We had the benefit of partaking in the buffet brunch and lunch, but left the property for our dinners. If you like club med's vibe (loud) than you might be happy. If you like lining up in the morning to make a res. at one of their 3 restaurants for dinner than you might like it. Much of the staff is the same, and that is a plus. The amazing GM Jean Marc is not there and that is a loss. We will not be going back. The quiet elegance is gone.
