We love the RIU for all of the fun and entertainment. Room service did a great job each day and we absolutely loved the VIEW looking right out onto the Caribbean Sea. The RIU parties were a blast and all of the night shows and crazy games during the day were awesome. Room itself looked outdated and shower kept spilling out and leaking on the floor. The food was not great. The steakhouse was good and the buffet was pretty good. The waitstaff for meals was very good- friendly and attentive but the quality of the food could have been a little better. Drinks were good- not super watered down like some other places. Overall we felt very safe and enjoyed our stay. I will definitely go to a RIU again.

The room needs to be upgraded, bathroom door frame was moldy, as well as the door knob. Your television cable is horrible, there were only two channels that transmitted actual programs. All other channels ran decades old programs. The light the shower was not working, the metal was rusty, and stained the shower floor. The furniture in the lobby and other areas is old fashioned and need upgrade. The Spa doesn't have a bathroom inside of it. The towels on the massage table are too rough instead of using soft sheets. ***During our stay, the front desk never answered the phone, we had to come down to the lobby for what we needed.

This was our second experience at this particular Riu property. We celebrated our anniversary and the staff was fantastic to us, even providing us with a surprise gift one evening. Very thoughtful. We love this resort because of how calm and amazinfgly blue the ocean is in front. Last time, there appeared to be more entertainment options but most of the parties or dancing events had moved to the other Riu properties. A free shiuttle is provided though so pretty convenient. One thing we did observe this time was the higher amount of younger adults who seemed to think it was spring break even though we went well after that time period. Perhaps.making it an adults only resort recently attracted the typical, partying, drunk, loud and annoying crowd. Personally, I preferred when it was family inclusive. It seemed more diverse and peaceful. I feel the class took a hit at this resort by making it adults only, or perhaps because their prices had dropped. Hard to say, but i probably wouldnt return to the same resort next time. Disclaimer: we are 40 year old adults. If you want drinks.by tje beach and pool with the waves and tranquility of Mexico, this might not be the place for you. If you looking to get lit, then Id recommend it. Overall, we had a good experience there, went on some excursions and the staff were phenomenal. They saved the experience in my opinion. And the beach of course. Its awesome, especially over by the lighthouse.

Nice property, if walking/jogging the beach is your thing this may not be the best place for you as the beach is constantly interupted by piers at each hotel. Food was decent. Have stayed at Riu's several times, this was about par for their course.
