This was our first trip to a Riu property, and my first time at an all-inclusive resort. Arrived on Thursday, Feb. 16 and stayed through Monday, Feb. 20. I think 4 or so days was just the right amount of time for a vacation like this. The trip in a quick recap: 1) We ate and drank so much! The... More

My wife and I stayed at the Riu Feb 7 - 14. The place is beautiful and the people are right, this place is always being cleaned. In your room they give you a good sized safe and a bar that's refilled every two days. We paid extra for the "Ocean view" that's the 6th floor and higher. You don't... More

Just got back from a week at the Riu. We could not have asked for a better trip. The resort is beautiful, the service is excellent, and the rooms are fantastic. If you want to do the full service restaraunts, you need to book reservations early in the morning. There is a small bar up the beach for something different,... More

The property is located in the suburbs of Mazatlan, at the northern tip of the road leading out of town. The skyline is littered with semi-completed condos up and down the beach baring exposed re-bar and rusting cranes. Time has seemed to stand still after the financial crash in 2008 and construction hasn't started back up yet. The result is... More

I went back to the RIU again this year and had the same great service as last year. The food was still good with the exception of the night we went to the Asian restaurant. The sushi and sashimi were fine, but the rest, with the exception of the beef with vegetables, was mediocre. As it is a buffet, it... More

RIU Emerald Bay Trip Report Feb 2-9/2012 Rooms OMG what a view and we were only on fourth floor but that was because we did not pay for oceanview, all rooms have an oceanview, you can upgrade which only means you are higher up. Rooms are great, nice decor but watch out for the beer openers. We busted two beers... More
