Travelled on 3rd November 2009 for our belated honeymoon (a year late, who's counting?). The area itself is very much "work in progress" but don't be put off by this. On arrival, hand in your passport, you are then asked to take a drink in the bar whilst they sort out the paperwork and booking in for you. After 10-15... more

My mouth fell open when we reached the foyer of this BEAUTIFUL hotel at around 3am! Just awesome! We usually go self catering,at the most, but this was a special holiday and we were going 'All Inclusive' for the first time. We were NOT disappointed with the Riu Buena Vista Loads of massive couches spread throughout the upstairs & downstair... more

Just returned from 1 week stay, could not fault the hotel in any area, the food was excellent, spotlessly clean everywhere in fact the staff do not stop cleaning, the pools are 1st class, everything about the hotel is spot on for customer satisfaction. The resort of Playa Pariso is probably one of the worse i have been to, there... more

Stayed at the Buena Vista between 28 August-5 September. THE JOURNEY: We travelled with Thomson, the flight over was delayed by an hour, no info etc, but we did arrive eventually. Once we landed, we were joined by three other flights who also landed at the same time as us (around 9.30pm), and all 600 of us joined the ONE... more
