Older building but beautiful nonetheless. The room had a slight musty smell but its on the beach and humid so that is to be expected. I would stay again regardless. A week was not enough here. The staff our amazing. Only compliant there was as we were packing to check out we had three maids knock then walk in as we were getting ready. They have amazing wait staff and everyone goes out of their way to make sure your having a good time. I cant wait to come back.
3rd time here love it very kid friendly and the kids pool area is awesome
The food was below mediocre. The 24hr sports bar consisted of packaged hot dog & hamburgers, no actual food service. The buffets reused food from the day before and the is no room service or pool service for food or drinks. No coffee in the rooms only alcohol and sodas. Lunch only has one restaurant buffet option. The pool had two broken slides. On a positive note the beach was nice.
After reading some reviews we were a bit nervous but being there I don’t know where those complaints came from. The resort is gorgeous and well maintained. The rooms were dated but who cares how much are you in the room. It’s clean and that’s what matters. The pool and beach have plenty of chairs. The beach itself is beautiful and the sunsets. Wow. The food in all restaurants were good. Our favorite was the Italian. The Asian was good. The Peking duck was amazing and the Mexican was also good. The cooking station has pork tacos that were delicious. The breakfast buffet had everything. Drinks we’re good and there could be a wait for drinks at the pool bar but the swim up bar was faster. Entertainment was okay. Not the best I’ve seen but not the worst. The Michael Jackson show was a lot of fun. Overall we had an amazing time and would recommend this resort.
I was in the 6th floor the room is just ok BUT I did not have cool water in shower
This property meets all the poor reviews. It’s stale and mildewy. It’s definitely an outdated resort. When you walk into the rooms you smell overwhelming Fabuloso and mildew. When you look around it had mildew in almost every crevasse. I could over look an outdated room, but every space of this hotel is an attempted clean, stale, dirt. The bathrooms were not ventilated so you can imaging the build up. I’d hoped that maybe the spa would give me some reprieve from the stale rooms and worn out pools, but alas it did not. The “spa” is connected to the fitness facility. The “spa” consisted of two bathrooms with one toilet stall and a “treatment” room right off the entrance. Mind you the entire space is maybe 1500 sq ft to include the fitness facility. I should have opted for a massage outside in the gazebo and tolerated the loud kids and pool. This was a huge disappointment and I took a chance at the “good reviews”. I will never visit another Riu facility, nor will the 6 others who travelled with me. The one positive is the entertainment staff. They were amazing and worked their butts off! Unfortunately the bottom shelf liquor (with no good options), terrible food, and stale rooms will keep me away.
The food was really good . Very clean . A lot of activities . I recommend this place if you are going with kids and you want a lot of activities . There were so many kids and a lot of activities
I like everything only I don't like is to I have to check out to hourly
So I knew I wasn’t booking at the Ritz... that being said the hotel was clean, the staff was very pleasant and went above and beyond in all circumstances. My one gripe is that the kids pool area had COLD WATER, which sucked. The mixed pools (kids adults) was perfectly warm, they DONT HAVE POOL SIDE SEINK SERVICE :-/ I’d stay here again for a good price but I’d definitely book a higher quality room or hotel next time. This was our 2nd visit to the area.
The customer service wasn’t good enough. We had to call several times for them to come to fix things in the room.
Good food at buffet and liked the different restaurants but should take reservations. Very poor service. Most dinners no one came to offer us drinks of any kind. No pool servers around poolside. Didn't allow to trade in wet towels at pool for clean ones only 1 towel per day
The hotel is totally under staffed. It is hard to get service at your table.. The staff are run off their feet trying very hard to keep up. We saw up to three managers just standing and visiting while some guests were getting cutlery and napkins themselves. There is nothing special about the specialty restraunts, you still had to go to the buffet for some food..The first week was great, lots of good entertainment in the Canteena bar every night, then the second week basically nothing. The shows were pretty good on the main stage and their beach party.
