If you want a lounge minimal hotel activity experience and don’t mind families being there then this place will be great for you! As a younger solo traveler I found the resort to offer minimal fun activities and found myself going off the resort more often than I expected. Overall not a bad hotel, staff are friendly, rooms are good. I did have a slight issue with the store at the hotel and because of this I missed my shuttle transportation to the airport when checking out, however the staff was kind about it. I was definitely upset about that experience but again overall experience was a 7/10.

Do not believe the pictures online! I have stayed at different Riu hotels and Lupita is by far the worst one! I expect better quality when staying at the Riu. Check in was easy. Room looks old and dated. The bathroom was nice. Various animals all over the place. The animas roam around all over the property. The pool was ok. The Riuland kids club was closed my entire stay so my son didn’t get to enjoy it. The animals are all around the pool all day. If you leave your drink or food unattended the animals will grab it. They can climb and will jump on your table to get food. No activities dyeing the day even though it is advertised. The evening entertainment was good, I’ll give them credit for that. The buffet restaurant food is horrible! Limited options and the same food everyday. The evening Maria Bonita restaurant was great. Fresh food cooked to order. Alcohol is generic brand and it very good, so don’t be expect great hard liquor. Staff is very friendly and nice! I will never stay at this hotel ever again. Riu should close this hotel so they don’t hurt their brand. Again, I have stayed at Riu hotels all over the world and normally have an excellent time. This Riu was so bad, I left a day early and I have never ended my vacation early.

Most of the staff were very nice. There were a few bartenders who mocked me for my Spanish speaking efforts. The beds were rock hard, like sleeping on the floor. The food options between breakfast and dinner were VERY limited. The wildlife on property was a nuisance—an infestation if you will. There is a shuttle to the beach, that runs every 30 minutes, so that was nice.

I recently stayed at this hotel resort and had a mixed experience. On the plus side, the service was amazing from start to finish. We received a welcome drink, and the guest services team was super helpful. However, the food was just okay - nothing spectacular. One thing to note is that the resort isn't directly on the beach, and you'll need to catch a shuttle that runs on a limited schedule. The pool was nice, but the hours were restricted, and I wished it was open 24/7 with swim-at-your-own-risk signs. The rooms were clean but basic, and the beds were extremely hard - almost rock-hard. The bathrooms were decent, but nothing to write home about. Overall, the pros outweighed the cons for us, but I’d recommend being aware of these details before booking. I met some great people while traveling here. I would book again if needed to make a last minute trip.

Horrible hotel. First is was dirty, towels smell, roaches in the room, dirty pool. Then the buffet is garbage with the same things you don’t want to eat all the time and the people that work there are rude, wont even let you take a bowl of fruit to your room without harrassing you about it and asking you questions that don’t apply. One of the things I like es was that they have cats but they ruined that because I think my wife and I are the only ones who des then for 2 weeks except for when I specifically asked the staff to feed them and they acted like I was crazy. Thats maybe half of the horrible stuff. Any other hotel is better, don’t waist your money
