Service at this hotel is not good at all. They’re clearing trying to cut corners as much as possible to save money. Definitely more of a party hotel than anything. Rooms were decent and clean but that was really the only good aspect. Cannot swim in the ocean out front of the resort as the current is too strong. No jacuzzis as well on any of the riu resorts. Place is basura
