Worse hotel. Stayed in many Riu hotels. This has been the worse so far. The reception staff are fine but Managers are very unprofessional, rude, and absolutely not helpful. Would not stay here again! Would not recommend at all.

Stayed at this property for the Labor Day weekend. The higher level staff (Supervisors and Managers) were absolutely unprofessional. I have stayed in multiple Riu locations but this was the worse. The front desk staff were very rude, food was disgusting, the place was very old, ceiling was peeling in the lobby. The last night that we were there, at 1:30am the emergency alarms sounded and there was a spanish announcement which of course we did not understand. They never announced anything in English which you would expect in a majority tourist resort and English is a universal language.We all walked to the lobby and no one was there to announce what the emergency was. We had no choice to return to our room and wait to see what happened. Very unprofessional!

The pros: they have daily entertainment that is actually fun for everyone in the family. Kids are welcomed to the night shows and events. The area is safe and I’d encourage folks to leave the resort to see nearby towns and eateries. About 40 min to PV via car. Lots of taxis and Ubers if you don’t want to rent. Clean, consistent, lots of pools and right on the beach. The not great: this is nit picky but it’s a bit dated. Not terribly so but it’s obviously a refurbished hotel. Still nice accommodations if you know that up front. The other thing is the food. I usually don’t like staying at all inclusive because I like to explore the cuisine of a country so the buffet style food was like eating at any buffet in the US. The options were basically the same every day and that got boring. And like most buffets, food was bland. No one got sick, which I guess is the draw for folks that worry about eating abroad. Lastly, pools were HOT. Like I was getting into a hot tub. I’m guessing they just get solarized from the sun because even the beach water was very warm. We still got in anyway so you do get used to the temp. Overall, a nice resort that is in a safe and nice area. But try some food out of the resort for some delicious food.
