This was our 3rd time to nayarit and 1st at RIU. It was wonderful! Spectacular beach, lovely hotel staff, delicious food, and delightful entertainment. We will likely return next year to enjoy it again. more

We travel a lot with our young kids, and this hotel was a disappointment. The kids club was closed because "there were too many kids" to accomodate all, that is exactly what we were told. Kids were bored out of their mind, as there were no activities for them. The staff would come out to the beach for 15 minutes,... more

I stayed at the Riu Vallarta for 7 nights in December, right before Christmas with my whole family. Which consisted of me and my husband and our 5 children that range from 10 to 29, as well as my parents and an adult cousin and her two teenage boys. When we arrived at the resort we were greeted at the... more

We went to Riu Vallarta for my sons senior trip at spring break. There were a total of 25 of us iin the group, all parents with at least one teenager. We enjoyed the food, there was always something to eat (except after hours, the 24 hour sports bar was disgusting!) The atmosphere was always relaxing. There was never a... more

I am a fan of all inclusive resorts. This was my least favorite anywhere. It was over crowded with so many children that the adult pool allowed children. Never pool towels after 11 a.m. The dress code was enforced only to Americans. The Mexicans coming by the bus loads were never made to dress or act appropriately. My bedding was... more

I just returned from a 5 day trip to Rui Vallarta with my wife. Like everyone else, I read the reviews saying how loud and bad it was at Riu Vallarta. I got so scared, I tried to change my reservations but couldn't without paying a fee. Now, I am easy going, but am very critical when I think I... more

I was one of 35 people there for a friends' wedding. The majority of us had no kids and were young professionals (24-30). Sure there were some complaints, but we believe that you make the best of every situation. If you are fun, accepting of different cultures and appreciate the hotel staff, then I can't see how anyone would have... more

Amazing trip and great resort. We enjoyed it very much and found it quite a romantic. The beaches were terrific and the food exceptional, though not as amazing. Still highly recommend. more

I went to the Riu Vallarta last month and had a terrible time. The room they put me in was just above the theater which was loud. On top of it there were many people that were inappropriate at night. I was woke up about 3 times a night and couldn't sleep. The elevator on the side we were on... more
