I wish the staff were a little more talkative and interactive with the guests. They looked like they were understaffed as it took longer than usual to get drinks. Also around the pool area there wasn't enough staff to grab the drink cups and take your orders. Just not what I'm used to at other Riu properties.

Riu Vallarta was a nice place to stay. I have stayed at various Riu resorts and I cannot complain. Overall a good experience. The food is probably the part I liked the least but that's with all of the RIU's I've stayed at. The alcoholic beverages were also a bit weak and watered down, but once again... that's all I've ever experienced at these type of all inclusive resorts, so I knew that going into it. However, comparing the RIU Vallarta with other RIU resorts, I did feel the resort was understaffed. In the dining buffet area, it was difficult at times to find someone for a drink or even a simple napkin for that matter. The pool area also lacked service. I am not sure if this is a post COVID thing, but service in pool area used to be excellent (at least at other RIU resorts). Now we had to wait in a very long line to get a drink. Not sure if this is just a RIU Vallarta thing or if it's all RIU but I did notice that difference from a couple of years ago. With that being said, I would return to RIU again.

Would not go back. Staff would find any excuse/find a way to make money off of the guests. Drinks are watered down, very careless staff the first day we arrived a waitress dropped glass cups and cut my sister when we told management they seemed not to care and basically laughed and ignored the situation. 0/10 I dont know how this hotel has 5 stars.
