The staff at the pool bar were a bit rude. Seemed irritated when asking for drinks. The DJ on 7/17/2025 at the resort club also rude. Asked him to please put the birthday song that night- looked at me and said ill think about it and never did . As a tourist ppl travel for different reasons and celebrations , i was not asking for something impossible.

The entertainment was great for all ages. Staff were pretty good except at the swim up bar. Went to the bar 3 days in a row and never got service. Had to get out of the pool, go around the front and get drinks. Why have a swim up bar if you have to get out anyway? The food was great and all other servers were great.

This all inclusive hotel was beautiful. We loved our stay here. The staff were helpful and friendly. Made us feel welcomed. The daily buffet had lots of good options to eat. There is truly something for everyone to eat...even the pickiest of eaters. Lol. We loved that this hotel was so close to the beach and souvineer shops. The hotel has people to offer excursion events. The pools were nice and beautiful. With staff available to bring you drinks. The evening fun events were so fun. Like the Riu party. The rooms are nice and loved that are fridge was always sticked with drinks (water,beer,soda).We had such a great stay. We cant wait to come back. The only thing that was disappointing at this hotel was there were no little bottles of lotion, soap bars, makeup removal wipes etc. Like most hotels now a days provide.

Riu Tequila was a blast. We had so much fun attending the parties and evening shows. Ae ended each night at the disco which played music for everyone. The restaurants had good food and had minimal wait times. The beach is about a 7 minute walk but it is a beautiful walk under a conopy of lush tropical trees. We'll definitely go back.
