Pool service with only one attendant. It was non existent. Dinner service was poor at Italian and Krystal. Service at upper lounge was horrendous. Took forever to even be greeted let alone get the drinks we ordered. The dinner buffet was virtually unchanged even though it was themed differently. Not much variety from one night to the next. We have been visiting the Riu for almost 20 years and the last few years (varying resorts) have been slowly getting worse. This trip was our final trip as we are going to a different hotel next time we travel.

Absolutely LOVED our stay at this hotel! We spent the majority of our time at the swim up bar enjoying the endless delicious drinks and beautiful views. The hotel staff was very friendly and they kept the entire hotel very clean. We read reviews knocking the food but we thought it was great! Our favorite restaurants were Krystal and the Steakhouse. The buffet was always fantastic with so many options to choose from. We also ate at the Mexican restaurant, which was our least favorite. We loved that we were able to also go to the Santa Fe next door for their parties ,which were a blast! I'm glad that we chose a room with partial oceanview as it still had great views of the ocean and was lovely to sit in the balcony to relax. Highly recommend!

Rio place has been our go to place for the past 8 years, we go there every year. This time things were different. Hotel needs major face lift and upgrade, everything is old, somewhat out of shape. Food is still decent but nothing close to what it used to be and more importantly variety doesnt change like it used to, you keep seeing the same foods. Somewhat boring now. So i hope they do something about it otherwise even their loyal customers might consider trying other places.

Staff was absolutely phenomenal. I was so impressed with every single person who worked there. Every single person went the extra mile. This was my first stay at an all inclusive and to be honest, I prefer smaller places but we were there for a wedding. Several people in our party got sick, including me and I know to be be very careful in Mexico. I know it's common to get some kind of GI bug in Mexico but I just wonder if producing so much food for so many people makes for a riskier environment. That being said, the food was generally pretty good. The separate restaurants were the best. Preferable over the buffet but hard to get into. The entertainment was really fun and the performers really gave it their all. I think, from what I was told, that for an AI, this one is one of the top ones.

We had the best time. We were on a family trip and were able to enjoy good food, shows, and music. The pools were well kept and we really liked that there were wait staff to take your drink order at the pool.

The staff were lovely, pretty good food and it’s a great location, but the hotel needs a serious update. Was here 15 years ago and it seems like nothing has changed. Rooms are pretty old looking and the hotel seems a bit run down overall. Pools were pretty cold too. Would only come back if there was an upgrade to the property.
