Positive things about the resort: clean, beautiful beach, nice ocean view rooms. Helpful things to know: room service is only snack food - no meals available from room service, bring small bills for tipping (it was hard to get change from staff), mentally prepare not to get into your room until AFTER check in time, food and service across the resort was average.

The staff went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met, making us feel truly pampered. We loved the variety of restaurants, from gourmet fine dining to casual beachside options, food was so delicious. The pristine white sand beach was perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing, with readily available beach chairs and umbrellas. Our room was spacious with amazing ocean view! Very recommend this resort and we will definitely come back!❤️

For an adults-only hotel, it offers very few activities, so I’d rate it 0/5 for that. It’s quite small. However, the service and cleanliness are excellent—5/5—but the lack of activities is disappointing.

The beach was amazing, many places I can walk to outside of the resort. The food, drinks, and service were all great. My room was clean and had a stunning view. The RIU Parties were so fun and it was a bonus that RIU hosted Steve Aoki! Highly enjoyed my stay and would recommend and come back myself!
