The grounds and pools were beautiful and all the staff were very friendly. Richard at the front desk was awesome. The buffet and restaurants were very good. Only thing disappointing was that the band did not play in the square every night like the schedule promised. When the band did play, it was fun. We are not fans of the Michael Jackson show, Riu hotels should schedule more silent disco nights and live bands and fewer shows.
I loved the big clean beach area, lots of seating. But the pool was inconvenient as people were saving loungers. They were empty for hours, I think there should be rules enforced about that.
