This property is huge. A great place for an all inclusive stay. They goofed up on one of our reservations an our son and his family (4 total) didn't get the room that I booked. They only had one bed. The hotel brought in a roll-away bed and one of the kids slept on the couch.

Pretty good all around. Met expectations for the price. Food was decent, facilities were clean, employees were acceptable. Location is nice and a large beach with minimal vendors at least when we were there. I would stay again as the price is good and the experience was pretty good. Tough to beat for the price.

The staff is amazing. Ana in the buffet is super attentive so was the waitress Gloria. the front desk staff was also really nice when we checked in. Unfortunately the staff is the best part of this Resort I wish there was an adult only pool an actual authentic Mexican food my room was nice but overall we enjoyed staying at a sister property our previous trip. Please make sure to keep all your items together upon checking in I had my jacket on my luggage and didn't notice it was missing till the day before we left I asked the Bell hop and my friend desk and it was nowhere to be found. While we were there the food was overall okay we just wish there was more authentic Mexican food. The beach was nice

Rooms are nice, as are the pool area and beach. However food is mediocre, and you can’t make reservations for the specialty restaurants; you need to get in line before they open and hope to get in. You can only get pool towels once a day, and we were charged $25 to check out one hour late. Overall our stay was disappointing.

The majority of the staff were nice. I found there seem to be staff who are not qualified to do certain jobs and are in those positions.(cooks) The drinks are great and bars very good. The food needs a lot of work and for that reason the salad bar was the highlight of my trip. ( good food is nice on holiday ) The reason for noisy, the kids area was under construction and across the street. neither hindered my sleep but not nice when at the pool. The Limited dining was for the steak house which was difficult to get into.

Excellent, friendly staff. Everyone was so accommodating and made sure all the guests were having fun. RIU app was very convenient when we needed anything delivered to our rooms and I was able to check in prior to our arrival. Definitely an older building but well-kept. Enjoyed the swimming pools (especially the tacos and fries being served nearby but watch out for birds if dining outside!) Also loved walking along the beach and shopping on our last day!

Pools were great, beach was clean and the drinks were pretty good. Buffet food was not great. The sauces were very runny and some of the food was overcooked and hard to bite into. Steak house was good, lasagna from Il Gusto was very unappetizing. Room was spacious but the AC can get very loud during the middle of the night if not manually set by thermometer. Hand soap dispenser and shower soap ran out after staying 3 night so it was not very full from the start. I wouldn’t recommend for younger adults but families seemed to have a blast. Highlights from RIU Vallarta were the horseback riding, beach side vendors with great souvenirs and the drinks from the bar both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
