This hotel doesn’t have a beach inside you need to drive 30 min to get to another hotel beach, rooms are very old and small, there’s no elevators at all, only one big pool and one for children, the lobby is very very small it’s not really a lobby it’s more like just an office to check in. This hotel is not what the pictures show at all. Do not recommend at all. Not recommending at all this hotel.

Do not book, pictures are very misleading! I booked because I thought this was a beach front hotel. It is not, you have to wait 30-40 minutes for a bus to take you to a beach that is 15 minutes away. Plan on 2 hours round trip just to enjoy the beach. Pictures also show a big party with entertainment but that is NOT at this hotel. They take you to Riu Tequila on Friday nights for this. A lot of what they advertise is NOT at this hotel but at other Riu hotels. This is a budget Riu hotel. Their Italian restaurant is their small snack bar, the steak place is the kitchen used at the beach (steaks served are flanks), the Mexican place is the only place that is its own restaurant. The buffet is ok but basic, same foods every day, not a lot of variety. A lot of food sat out for a long time. My family of four have had diarrhea 3 days since returning from this place and we are all now on antibiotics. Their hotel lobby is small like a car rental lobby and their store is very small and limited. A lot of European and local Spanish speaking guests. We were there 5 days and never ran into anyone from the US which we didn’t mind but just to make you aware of the environment. The liquor is very limited, one brand per alcohol type. Other guests complained about the lack of liquor choices and poor quality as well. The service was great. They do have entertainment at night but it’s a hit or miss. I’ve been to many all inclusive hotels, this was the worst.

It was very upsetting. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable making it hard to sleep. The food was not good often over cooked.The availability of signature restaurants is notqqqqq massive enough to accommodate the resort. They only allowed 40 people to reserve Italian and steak house.

The staff was friendly but something that i didn't like was the limited dinning due to some of the restaurants in the resort had only dinner times and after arriving from tours only cold food was available. Limited transportation was also an issue because the beach is on the other side of the hotel and quinta avenida.And the last thing was the towels..you can only change it once a day which was frustrating at times due to needed them for tours and for the pool time.

Property and grounds were very pretty and in great condition. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food presentation was pretty but flavor was terrible. Food was either over cooked, over salted, flavorless and just not good. Drinks weren’t that great either. There also is a really gross smell around the bar (we were thinking it must be the drainage system) that smelled like a combo of body odor and fish sauce. Gym facility was perfect for what was needed (weights, treadmill, elliptical, trx). The beach (there’s an 15 min bus between this resort and the next Riu on the beach) was pretty and had a nice lady out. Overall, it worked for the quick getaway we wanted but it was too bad the food was no good.
