The property was very clean. Most of the staff were awesome. Do not trust the allergen signs by the food. The cinnamon rolls did not have the nut symbol showing it had nuts. I took one bite and pulled a nut out of my mouth. After telling 2 managers and the chef they did not fix the sign. Two days later they served the cinnamon rolls again and did not fix the sign.

The property was smaller than others I’ve stayed at which made it nice because you didn’t have to walk a mile to get to stuff. Property was clean and staff was great. If you wanted to participate in the themed parties at the other Riu they shuttled you which was a bonus! The only caution is the double beds felt closer to twins. Each year me and 2 of my girlfriends book a room with 2 double beds and swap out who has to share, sharing was not an option in these and we had to take turns contorting ourselves to fit on the small loveseat. Now we know so we can plan appropriately next time. Would definitely go back!

If you are looking for a vacation destination that has diversity, this definitely isn’t the place for you. While the room is beautiful, the resort is extremely clean the food was less than expected. This hotel does not have any clubs located on site and the entrainment I would rate a 2. However the hotel is in close proximity to the central hotel area, where there are quite a few clubs and outdoor entertainment, such as live music and Hookah. Super quick Uber and around 6 usd per trip.

We enjoyed our stay at this brand new resort. The staff were wonderful and the food and drinks were fantastic. There is variety in the food choices and you’ll never go hungry. We paid a little bit extra for the elite package and enjoyed having an upgraded experience with the quiet and more private pool, our view of the ocean and access to premium alcohol. It’s not necessary to have a good time but we enjoyed the added perks.

Maybe if I was 21 and on spring break I would appreciate this property. As a 55 year old, i feel I’ve aged out of this resort. It is very noisy….not a quiet pool area to be found. Currently sitting by the pool away from the action with earbuds and it’s still loud as could be! Not a relaxing atmosphere at all. Pool areas are aesthetically boring and generic. No hot tub. I’ve stayed at Live Aqua next door and am kicking myself that I didn’t book there this time. I will say food and restaurants here are amazing. But I’d forfeit the food experience anyday for the serene and relaxing vibe at LIve Aqua. If you are in your 20s and want to party party party, this place might be for you. Certainly not my cup of tea.
