Our room was not available at 3pm when we were told was the check in. The lady that gave out room keys was extremely rude and stated check in is any time after 3 so we didn’t get a room until about 4. The wait to get drinks by the pool is extremely long. We also were never able to get a reservation because the app never worked for us.

I really liked the beachfront location and ocean view room. Definitely worth it to upgrade. The food was good, not amazing but definitely plenty to eat. The drinks were decent as well. It's overall a good deal for the money especially if you plan to consume adult beverages and there are lots of pools. There's even a water park but I would not let anyone under 10 use it. Those waterslides are crazy!

Property is very clean and the staff is excellent. Eric in the pool bar was our favorite bartender he made the best margaritas and was so attentive to guests and friendly. All the wait staff in the restaurants were great as well. The only things we did not like about this Riu is how hard it was to get reservations at the a la carte restaurants. We were there a whole week and were only able to eat at one of them. The app reservations never showed up all days were booked up. Other than that this is a great place in Mazatlan.

The waterslides - which was a big reason we booked this resort - were unsafe. The material used to make them was rough, which made for a painful ride. An adult cut their arm going down. The kids did not enjoy them because they hurt. 14 year old and 7 year old bumped their heads going down one of the slides because it went so fast. There were gaps between the pieces joining the slides together so made for a very bumpy and uncomfortable ride. We would not go back. The children's show at night was just a game of musical chairs. A pair of earbuds went missing from our hotel room. The pools are missing several tiles and look like they are in need of an upgrade (lights underwater floating and hanging on by a wire)
