Too crowded, not clean
We got there the same day as 2 bus loads of Mexican nationals. Everything was super crowded. The other guests were super pushy and rude, to us and the staff. Never saw anyone leave a tip. No manners with anything. They would push you out of the way to get on elevators and were equally rude in the restaurants and in the pool. Made the mistake of putting on my kids goggles in the pool and what I saw made me want to vomit. The beach was filled with trash. Plastic everywhere, it was really sad. Other than the steakhouse, the food was mediocre and the drinks were blah. The staff were friendly, but I felt bad for them. We had never experienced anything like this in all the years we have been travelling to Mexico. It has made us rethink going to all inclusives in general. You either have to spend a lot more money to go to more exclusive ones or stay at quiet, non all inclusive typehotels and just pay for food and drink.

Air conditioning and ceiling fan worked well and kept the room nice and cold.
Bedding and areas in the room showed poor maintenance. The pillows smelled bad, not sure if it was the pillow case or a sweat smell coming from the pillow itself. The bed sheets looked old and lacked a fresh clean smell.
The shower door would not stay shut, and the hinges were rusted.
The staff were friendly and services were good during breakfast and dinner. The lunch restaurant by the beach had little staff to bus tables.
Green areas were well taken care of.

The hotel is okay. Nice grounds. The air conditioner does not work properly. They need to invest in some fans in the lobby as it is extremely uncomfortably hot. The bar room with pool tables should be limited to adults only. The club is more like a sauna. It was hot and smelly. The food quality is mediocre nothing you expect from a 5 star hotel. The buffet restaurants run out of food with you having to wait more than 5 minutes for the workers to bring out new trays. They need a better variety. There should always be a restaurant open and guests should not have to wait an hour for open options. The entertainment was fun at night. However I wish they would have shows during the day as well.
Please do your homework and look for a better hotel this one is not worry the stay.

The property was very nice and clean. The staff was great. The only issue that I had was the food. It wasn't authentic Mexican food. I could have got better quality food here in the United States.

I am very disappointed with our experience. So dirty, the pools are dirty, and a bunch of young kids drunk in the pool being rude. Tiles from the pool came off and cut all of our feet, the pool has so much sand. cockroaches in our room, and we even brought some home. Juices are not fresh, the same food, low quality, very old towels are used in the rooms. My only positive is the entretainment. Floors are very slippery EVERYWHERE!! be careful.

Beautiful facility. Stunning views. Gracious and friendly staff. Jacuzzi suite was worth the extra expense. Only drawbacks were one elevator bank for huge facility and we struggled with tiny ants in our room the entire time even after they sprayed.

We had the worst experience at RIU Jalisco. We had a three night, four day stay at RIU Jalisco. The air conditioning was not working for the three nights we were there. We wanted our kids to have the best experience as they were looking forward to it. My kids were miserable at night the thermostat never change from 79 degrees. We will never go back.

Didn’t eat in my room at all but left a wrapped Cough Drop out. Covered in sugar ants the next morning. Provided shampoo was a joke and didn’t even have conditioner in my room. Couldn’t get A/C to get below 78.8 deg F. Spent most of my time in my sisters room which they had great A/C but they only had Luke warm water from their shower. Rained 4 out of the 6 evenings and hallway tiles were slicker than snot
