Staff nice and friendly. Property and rooms are clean. Food was okay. Couldn’t comment on the pools because they were very busy and all pool chairs reserved with pool towels by guests well before opening. In terms of the beach, there are vendors constantly soliciting and you will see horses in the hot sun all day without water, The beach is public and hotel doesn’t have control over the vendors or the horses but if you don’t want that type of beach vibe…..I would want to know.

The resort was clean and well kept. Enployees were friendly and very willing to help with anything you asked for. Victor was the best activity person we could have asked for. He made our trip even more fun than it would have been without him. Evening entertainment could have been better, but was not horrible.

This resort was a huge disappointment. If you’re thinking about booking a Riu, save your money and your sanity. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was not family-friendly. No welcome drink, barely any food options, and everything closed ridiculously early. No entertainment, no nightlife — nothing. My kids (9–15) were bored out of their minds. The resort was overcrowded, and it honestly felt like we paid to be stuck somewhere with nothing to do. We had to leave the hotel just to find activities, and even that was a mission with all the traffic. The final straw? A cockroach by the ice cream at the buffet. Bugs everywhere. Absolutely unacceptable. The only good thing? The rooms were clean — and that’s me being generous. If I could get a refund, I would in a heartbeat. Think twice (or three times) before booking this place. Total waste of money.
