Very good hotel and beautiful property. Excellent service. Only one part should be improved: more restaurants. At night is impossible to get in to any restaurants (Asian, Italian or Steakhouse), only buffet option. For the capacity over 500 rooms needs to be at least 6 restaurants plus buffet. Otherwise everything is perfect.

Decent hotel, pleasent beach

Rooms are spacious but they need new painting, it felt moldy and mold spots were present. Also the presumably white doors were more gray due to the hundred human fingerprints it gandered during the years. The biggest negative for us was house keeping. Sheets were usually stained, not changed every day, some of the pillows were having a bad smell.The food is average. But Riu isn't renowned for the food. It was ok overall . The variety wasn't that rich regarding the massiveness of the hotel. The day activities are loved by kids. The employees from the animation team are very friendly. The one's from the evening shows are very good dancers. Their shows are well executed. As a whole experience, we had a great stay, relaxing and fun ( Riu's are usually fun). The weather at the end of November, beginning of December was around 30 degrees Celsius during the day with passing showers from time to time. In 11 days only one day was raining most of it and one was mostly cloudy. But never felt cold. So the hotel was ok overall and has value for money (at 187 euro per night in my case). The beach is decent, not great, don't expect to be like the ones in Mexico. At least not on the Pacific side. They have nice beaches in the other part of the country, but less hotels offer and are harder to reach.

The area throughout the hotel are great and super clean. The staff in all areas are "AMAZING". Very friendly and willing to assist you at any time. Always with a great smile. One thing I noticed near by the vendors of souvenir by the beach was a few empy cans of soda ( 4). I hope they clean their area by the end of each day and no leave any pollution for the ocean. Also, going to the beach i had to be careful not to step on horse droppings. I thing the horse handers should clean it by the end of the day.
