We, (family of eight--ages 21 to 57) stayed from Thursday to Thursday during the beginning of January 2012. We all agree it was one of our best vacations and we will be going back next year. We stayed on the third floor. We booked four rooms. We all had beautiful views of the pool and grounds and water. The rooms... More

When you get in to the lobby they serve you a welcome drink which was good and the staff at the reception are very friendly. Don't... More

This was one of the three all-inclusives we stayed at during our extended vacation in January. Overall, its a smaller-sized resort hotel with better than average food and drinks. The rooms are fairly outdated, but there is a small fridge loaded with beer and soda and a cabinet with some cheap Mexican liquor. The balconies are small, and the noise... More

They accommodated us right away by giving us wristbands so we can have lunch and lay on the beach while we wait for our rooms. they also had a place for our... More

First of all, don't listen to the 1 star people... they are careless, and obviously too picky to enjoy anything. Alright! - Our vacation at the Riu was pretty amazing! The beach was awesome, they picked up the washed up seaweed even, every morning. This is the type of beach you think about when you think of a very awesome... More
