Hotel is great if you like want to party and drink it up. If that is not your goal - do not stay there!!! And absolutely NOT for families. The food was decent. The staff was very friendly and they did answer requests on app quickly to refill soap or clean room. However, one day at the swim up bar/pool by ocean, we witnessed a person get sick half in/out the pool (drunk). We informed staff, they didn’t shut the pool down to clean it!!!! Also the water in all the pools was around 90 degrees per my dive watch so not very refreshing…. Also the Riu party pool that they have the nightly events in - maybe I am just past that stage in life, but I wouldn’t touch that water with a ten foot pole. Finally - why do I need to wait in a long line to check out. Make me dump my keys in a box like every other hotel in the world and write a date on my wristband. Trust me I am not staying longer just to get a few extra water downed drinks.

This is a good base of operations. The all inclusive food isn't bad or great - however will serve as a good back-up in case you don't want to go out. This is def a “party” resort - if you are looking avoid screams of “shots”, the palace next door is a better bet. There maybe a lost drunk who knocks on your door in the middle of the night ( happened at my sisters room ). All the pools are relatively warm. The staff are really great however - loved that.

AC is not cold , room had a lot of mosquitos, not too much choices of food. Pool close too early!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The resort is beautiful and is kept pretty clean. Employees are very nice and attentive (so pls tip them) Breakfast buffet was pretty good/lunch buffet was ok/tiki tacos were good/dinner was good too. If you want to go to the steakhouse you have to start making a line by 530pm (they only take so many people per night) the club played good music. We mainly stayed at the pools that face the ocean. One pool is for adults only but the music was mid...the middle pool played better music....lol but the bartender were great! Overall I had a good time and would recommend it.

This Riu is definitely not worth the cost food subpar rooms air conditioning are set at 75 to 80 in the rooms no elevators if you have the 3rd 4th or 5th floor the drinks are all tequila no top shelf alcohol everything shuts down at 8pm. Pools entertainment food service every thing would not recommend at all even if it was free.

Verified review

6/10 Good

Rooms are outdated and beds are very uncomfortable. Couches the rooms are also stained and worn down. Pools were wonderful and so was the staff! Moses who runs the Ruifit programs was great and made the light work out fun for all! The gym is very small and was crowded when about 12 people were there. Food was better than expected and I would rate it more highly than some other all-inclusives we’ve stayed at. The nightly entertainment was good. I was pretty surprised when a stripper pole was put out - not exactly my idea of family friendly. That show could have come with a bit of a warning .. like mature audience only. Otherwise, great stay!
