I've never been to a resort that is that clean! WOW! It was sparkling for our entire stay. Really unbelievable!! The food at the buffet was AMAZING. I never thought I'd say that either. Such wonderful choices! The restaurants were hit-and-miss. Asiain was fantastic. The Italian, Elite, and Steak House were OK. We were disappointed in the Mexican. The drinks were fantastic everywhere but especially at the martini bar. The ala cart food choices were fun. Peppes was fun. The night buffet and sports bar food were fun. I was pleased with how many choices there were around the clock. The room service was fantastic. My only complaint was the entertainment crew. They were fun and walking around. But, I felt age-shamed by them. They would walk by the pool or lounge chairs with a volleyball and stop and ask anyone young to come play. Same thing with promoting the theme parties. We play league volleyball at home and love playing in the pool. We've even coached junior leagues. Apparently, we didn't have the right look—same thing with the theme parties. We brought attire to wear to all of the themes and were looking forward to some of the DJs. We would walk by them in their attire and they would say "hi" but stop the "young" people and tell them all about it. So, no one would want to join something they aren't invited to. At 50, I felt like I was of typical/average age compared to the other guests during the time of my stay. It sucked to be made to feel old, especially on vacation.

We traveled here for the first time and the property was perfectly located, in a very safe area with beautiful grounds, clean rooms, and extremely friendly and hard working staff. The beach is beautiful and there are plenty of loungers that the staff would set up for you on the beach. Dining was ok, but not what I could consider 5 star, although the service was wonderful and the buffet plentiful with tons of choices. The New Year's Buffet was exceptional and a highlight of the trip. The room was clean and beautiful, with all rooms facing the ocean and our balcony was just heaven. There were only a few downsides but nothing major. One of the pools must have had some malfunction because it was 100 degrees everyday. It was a beautiful pool but no one could go in it, it was so hot. The drinks were not very good, with bottom shelf liquor used unless you asked for better and even then, the drinks were not done well unless you specifically instructed the staff on making them. Finally, the entertainment company they had was not our cup of tea. They played loud music at the two useable pools most of the day and there was not really a place to have any quiet time. The shows were cheesy lip syncing and the trivia was JUST about their hotel chain. The vibe was for a younger crowd and many of us were looking for a little more R&R than party. It had lots of good things, but I would look for another site for a romantic getaway and I wouldn't say it is a 5 star experience.

I have stayed at other RIU resorts before. As a matter of fact i stayed at the RIU a mile down from this resort back in march 2020 during the coronavirus and it was safe clean and nice. This place is dirty. Specially the buffet. Oh, horrible. They put a punch of people to make dirty and ugly looking and tasting food. The lettuce is always brown. This should speak enough. I got sick the 3rd night and i believe i had corona. My wife git sick the rest of the trip and when we cam back to the state we did a corona test and sure she has it. The worst place to be. Never again RIU

First the good. This is a brand new hotel so the property and amenities are in good shape. Rooms were cleaned and nice/modern. The entertainment team does an amazing job keeping people engaged and there’s plenty activities to do. New year’s was amazing and can say enough to thank Riu. The Mexican service is spectacular! Waiters bar tenders etc!! The gym is tiny so I feel for such large hotel the gym is way too small and always crowded. The food overall was average and needs improvement, the buffet wasn’t too good but dinner was a bit better. Not sure why one of the pools was way too hot (40 degrees Celsius) and the other pools were fine. Overall. It’s was a good experience and me and wife had a great time.
