Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I stayed here and the food was ok. The staff was nice, until I reached out to have some items shipped to me that I forgot in my room. It was a huge hassle. I contacted management and was very specific on what I left behind. They only shipped some of my items back. They kept some new items and denied that they were there. I was disappointed that they were dishonest and lied. If you go there, do not leave your stuff behind or unattended! They have yet to make this right.

Property was old and needs major renovation. Pools were small. Spent $6k (no flights) for 2 rooms and our view is a parking lot. Food was terrible. Buffet served same tired food daily for breakfast & lunch. Specialty restaurant food had limited choices and food was not good. Steak House offered 1 steak, a very thin rib eye. Asian food the food bowls were empty and no rush to fill it up. Drinks were terribel, liquor seriously watered down. I would not stay here again.

This is the second time I stay at a Riu resort and Iโ€™ll definitely be back. Great entertainment, great food, music, pools, staff. I highly recommend this place. The only thing I didnโ€™t like is that they allow people to save the pool chairs even if no is there using the pool. People would leave their towel or belongings on their chair and that would save it for them even overnight for days on end. Thatโ€™s the only thing I didnโ€™t like.

Loved the safety. Felt very comfortable walking alone in the morning outside the property. They had a large boulevard that you could walk on. Really like the buffet at luncheon dinner. Also enjoyed that you did not have to make reservations for the four restaurants. Last year I went to another resort in the area and we could not even get a reservation on the first day we arrived for our entire trip. Staff was very friendly and helpful. My negative would be that they did not have light beer. another negative was I did not feel comfortable going in the ocean because on our first morning, we walked along the beach and saw 10 water snakes. This is not the resorts fault but I really missed body surfing on this trip.
