First time at RIU and we loved it! Staff are so friendly. Rooms are renovated and so clean. Food is good and too many options and restaurants to choose from.Beautiful resort with fabulous view of Cabos. The beach was beautiful but non swimmable all our stay so we had to go to the marina to be able to swim in a calmer water.The resort full of fun activities and parties but lacks any water/ beach activities! Also, the internet connection was not good at all! But I do recommend it and you will enjoy your vacation! One of the best resorts I have been, I liked it more than Barcelo or Iberostar.

Great food options, our favorite was Sakura we ate there 3 nights and was perfect every time. The Caruso italian restaurant was terrible. They should seriously change it. No elevators in our build so we got to walk 3 flights of stairs every time so that sucked for the 7 nights we stayed.

This hotel does not have any service. Meaning if you run out of water in your room after 10:00 pm you need to go downstairs and get your own water because they don’t have service.

This is a very big property. Definitely not a relaxing hotel!! Noise all night long. You can hear everything in the hallways from your rooms.. definitely not a big enough room for families. We were a family of 4 and they put 2 double beds together and expected us to all sleep together on the same bed.no service at the pool and no room service. Same food everyday and even the restaurants are buffet style. If you want to get served this is not your hotel!!
