Where do I begin… a few ups and a few downs. The cleanliness of the property is great (especially in your room). Towels/pillows extra request is a MUST. But other than that phenomenal cleaning staff. The food itself has taste, and can definitely satisfy anyone’s mood for that evening. However, like most RIU’s they’ve gone away from the reservations. But that wasn’t the case. We were declined twice from the steakhouse. Once at 645pm & another at 7pm due to “reservations” meanwhile we’d constantly see empty tables.. don’t know what that’s about but that was a FIRST! When we finally got a reservation at the steakhouse we saw the man writing down who was taking names telling some “Oh we booked till tomorrow” while also allowing certain individuals inside… again a FIRST! The property isn’t bad. Plenty of pools. But you better save your towels for the next day because at 8am it seems as if EVERY SPOT IS TAKEN WITH TOWEL/SHIRTS it’s ridiculous. Hogging seating areas just to say that’s my seat while others would prefer to tan/be by the pool. So go early and reserve your spot! On another note - Rui Vallarta should strongly consider changing its name to Rui De Retirement. If you’re under the age of 40 don’t come here, I’d strongly advise not to as this is Boomer Central & if you want to enjoy time with your grandparents or want to reminisce moments with loved ones who passed. Sure come they’ll tell you all about the Great Depression and World War 2.

Great place to stay with family, friends and solo. Lots things to do, access to the beach where you can find more things to do (horse riding, kayaking, parasailing, etc). Tour guide in the hotel would offer any tours for a better deal then online. We used “Greyline” Louise for tours, he is at the hotel every day until 11am. Great food, no mercy, lots of fresh and tasty food. Not to say you always have a Bar in room. The stuff is very nice and helpful. The entertainment is very professional and fun. This hotel is situated next to another RiU hotel, so you can walk or a take a shuttle bus to next door hotel for more entertainment like White Party is the best we have been, very impressed. Would definitely recommend this place and love to come back again in our future trips to Mexico.

This property was extremely crowded. The food was not as good as other RIU properties where I have stayed in Cancun. The staff in the main restaurant did not seem very attentive when it came to refreshing your coffee.

Beach is beautiful. Food is good. Safe environment. Staff is wonderful. Service was lacking on the beach for drinks. Long lines for drinks. Need more staff. Servi bar was supposed to be filled every other day. We had ours filled 1x in 7 days. Overall a wonderful trip and the good far outweigh the few negatives
