Everything was beautiful and the staff were amazing. The entertainment was not nearly as good as it has been for the years I have been going to the RIU hotels which was a little disappointing. Also the buffet restaurant was not as good as previous years. But all in all I still had a great time.

Would be better if it were adult only and if the pool was opened longer. Also the entertainment if it was more of culture, we’re in Mexico. Have a real mariachi Mexican music and so forth.

My family and I really enjoyed this visit to Riu Vallarta. The staff is amazing and so friendly. I would say they should play better music at the common areas like the lobby bar and the sport bar. Something more fun and not so old as they were playing most of the time. Teresa, Angel, Melvin, Paula, Claudia, Tania , wilmer and Eva. God these people are the best at what they do and really loved what they’re have been doing for years. Thank you so much guys and keep that amazing energy and kindness always.

Disliked: Staff & service
The food in the buffet and restaurants are above average, food at the pool is below average. Beverages are as low shelf booze as you can get. Pool Bar does not have enough staff. You wait 15 min at least for a drink. Rooms were very clean but outdated. The staff slid a note under our door and asked for me to go to the front desk. I was at the ocean so my wife went and they accused me of trying to break into other guests rooms. My wife told them that is nothing my husband would do, and asked if they had the right person. They said they checked security cameras and it was me. My wife then asked for the description. They said it was a 6'2" African American. I am a 5'10" Caucasian. They said she could leave and no apology was given. The next night we returned from the pool and there was a man trying to use a key to get into our room. I asked what he was doing and he ran off saying sorry wrong room. We went and told the front desk and they said they would check the cameras and get back to us. They never did and when we asked the next day they had no clue what we were talking about. My wife did not feel safe the rest of the trip. Would not recomend and will not be returning.
