Staff is TOP NOTCH! I am in a wheelchair right now, recovering from a knee surgery, and staff could not have been more solicitous and helpful. Also, when we checked in, upon learning of my daughter‘s birthday on Christmas, the front desk representative gave us a complementary room upgrade and sent up chocolates! The room was very clean and the shower was fantastic. Not enough good words about the buffet, as long as you’re clear that it is a “breakfast“ buffet and not a “brunch“ buffet :-). I think I was expecting a sliced roast beef and an omelette bar, but it is in fact a very extensive selection of breakfast foods. The restaurant recommendation was spot on. We had a delicious dinner of fine Mediterranean/Sardinian foodat Nora’s next door and enjoyed it immensely. I have now joined the capital RIU club and plan on spending much more time at their other properties, particularly in Costa Rica, where I am moving next month. Kudos to all, and thank you for our wonderful stay!

My husband and I were on our Honeymoon & we missed our flight. Meaning our third party reservation through Expedia was going to charge us for the day we missed. But when we arrived to Hotel Riu, Anderson helped us promptly. He didn’t charge us fees for the day we missed. He checked us in right away with no problems or delays. This hotel is absolutely beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The bar drinks are so delicious and they do not skimp out on the alcohol. The rooftop is beautiful, with good food, and a fun glass ledge. Also, their breakfast is included and it was delicious. It’s a perfect selection of baked goods & breakfast food. The location is also top tier. It’s close to all the shops and Starbucks Reserve Roastery. It wasn’t far from the Riverwalk, LondonHouse, and other attractions. I will be bringing my family back here. I had the best time!
