The property grounds were very clean. The staff were friendly, nice and helpful. I didn’t like the fact that my safe would not open and this was on my bday when I was supposed to head down for dinner. The front desk kept saying 15 min it ended up being over 2 hrs they had me miss my bday celebration in the dining hall which was very disappointing because, that was the purpose of my trip. The rooms were a little dated and my room actually had a bad leak from the vent in the ceiling one day it was raining which also was my bday. The entertainment was good and the team was lots of fun. Overall, a good experience!! Shout out to Pacheko at the front desk and Biembo in the dining hall for such informative and fun conversations especially with me being a solo travel they made sure I was taken care of.

This place is AMAZING! My kids and I came here between Christmas and New year. The resort is huge. It’s so beautiful. There is a ton of staff and we never had to wait for anything ( drinks, food, room service, swimming activities etc.). I cannot compliment the staff enough. Everyone was so very friendly and helpful! The buffet was large and had so many options. They also have like 4 or 5 special dining restaurants that look amazing but we had only packed for “beach” activities and didn’t realize that we should have packed dress clothes, as these restaurants do have a dress code. I’ve been to a lot of places and place felt like we were in Paradise. I definitely recommend going to the scape adventure park where you spend the day zip lining and swimming in beautiful caves. Our transportation picked us up right from the hotel. This is definitely a place we will revisit!!

We loved the stay for the most part - the resort is beautiful and well maintained overall, the beach is gorgeous, many dining options with no restrictions or reservations necessary, which i really appreciated (the Italian restaurant was not great, but we enjoyed the food in the other ones).The weather was perfect too, and we were able to book some really fun excursions with reasonable pricing through the hotel destination services! A couple of things that were not so good - the rooms could definitely use some updating, the service is not super friendly or eager (except for bell boys and bartenders). Also, front desk never gave us clear info on anything we asked (mutiple people). And the tiny little bugs in the rooms were driving us insane - they were in everything. At first i freaked out thinking they were bed bugs - thank god no! I don't know what they were, but it's still unpleasant finding them everywhere in the room. Entertainment was ok, but nothing too interesting - it was mostly local singers (although pretty good ones!) On a good note - RIU parties did not disappoint, sooo much fun! I would say it's a decent resort, but for the money we paid - i've been to better ones for sure.

I wish I can give -5 rating to this hotel. The management staff was unhelpful and unresponsive during our stay. When the bathroom toilet flooded and water spread throughout the room, it took 45 minutes for someone to address the issue, and we were given a hard time when requesting a room change. Additionally, the restaurant staff consistently refused to seat us, claiming they were full, even when there were no reservations and plenty of open tables, highlighting a need for better training across their management team.
