Clean room, pretty good food, friendly staff. No ATM on the entire property, the shops were closed when they were supposed to be open and restaurants open/closed days were very arbitrary. 4/5.

Didn't like the stinky water in the toilets. We were told we could drink the water and all 4 of us got sick - probably from the fountain drinks or the ice. We tried to only drink bottled water.

Excellent property, staffs are great. Good variety of food. We checked out before lunch and were sent to a different restaurant with barely any good choices of food. RIU could avoid this practice to minimize customers dissatisfaction. Otherwise, our experience was pretty good.
