Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The resort and / is priceless, so peaceful, beach fantastic. albeit, it looks like it is getting tired (eg, chrome rubbed off of faucets, toilets lacking water pressure). My issue was the amount of time consumed checking in - over an hour (for something we had previously checked in on-line). My suggestion, while not the property of the resort, the beach front accumulates a lot of trash from the tides. As a sign of goodwill, the resort should clean, rake the beach daily.

Me and my family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We stayed in the family room which was large and comfortable. The dining options were great, and lots of pools for the family. The beach was also a very nice and it was only a short walk from the pools. Looking forward to coming back!

The stay was great. The staff was amazing one evening I was not feeling well, I was sick, I traveled alone and I was Hungary. Therefore, I was too weak to get food, I called front desk to send me up food at first they reminded me that they do not provide that service but I plead with them that I am alone sick, hungry and they made an exception for me that was so kind of them and with that I would give them a 4star. They showed some compassion to me. The beach, there is no bar at the beach or close to the beach. The beach area is nothing to look at, it is just existing. I think they should try to make it more presentable and inviting. The merchants there were very friendly and encouraging to buy there stuff. Their stuff is very affordable it is not really over price. The pool is fun and you can enjoy some quit time because the facility is big.

Terrible worst RIU I ever stayed at canceled our transportation back to the airport without notice my party of 14 all had to pay for taxi. The maid that cleaned our room 4074 never swept the floor just made the bed and left towels no soap, shampoo etc. If the kids left a paper on the floor we would find it there when we returned. Front desk staff is rude especially Angel and Angie and a few more. Lets talk about the keys to get into the room many nights I had to go down stairs for them to come open the damn door. Seriously which hotel uses regular door keys and not the cards. Food salty and terrible all around. The only positive is Alan on the beach went on an amazing tour with them put a smile on everyones face. Massage on the beach from Rebecca best 45 dollars spent. Otherwise that particular RIU needs to be shut down.
