May 26, 2020Hotel Riu Jalisco
OMGawd...I so badly didn't want to go to Mexico in the worst way. I had never been and had heard too many terrible stories. But my kids wanted to go. The minute I entered the hotel...I was blown away with how wonderful it was. And that feeling stayed with me for the whole week we were there. We signed up for alot of the outtings and really enjoyed ourselves. Was blown away by the service and my whole family (12 of us) was thrilled with Sandra in the main dining room. And our special needs young man ..they nick named him Ricardo....and he was treated like a king! Met lots of people from Canada! Next time we are staying TWO weeks. I would highly recommend anyone who is planning a trip next year to consider this hotel. But go in Feb...not too hot but a nice hot. The Mexican people are sooooo nice!!

1st Class again!!!
What a great trip with friends! This was my 8th trip between the Jalisco and Vallarta and I will be back when travel restarts. The staff, food, rooms, beach, pools but most importantly, the customer service was 1st class as usual. Special appreciation to Jovany Villalobos Meza for always being a fantastic host! The neon party was energy packed as was all the daily poolside entertainment. I always love the fun, laughs and memories that come with each and every visit. See you all soon!

Apr 01, 2020Worst Trip Ever
We wouldnt stay at another Rui if it was the last resort on earth. Your staff is terrible. Your security on the beach terrible. Your unwilliness to hellp us was zero, you could not have cared less if we were there or not. Worst Rui we have ever stayed at.. 20 people, NEVER RETURNING TO A RUI. We were there to celebrate my 60th birthday, more ike ruined it.

Mar 29, 2020Poor Service
Rooms need refurbishment, had several problems with the room which were sorted but not a great start to the holiday. Despite trying to eat in the steak restaurant 10 times we never got a table. The Mexican restaurant which was brilliant the first week was closed for most of the second week. The beach bar had one barman so a 20 minute wait was not uncommon, the beach restaurant which was the only place for lunch during the second week was full of cats and birds and the food poor quality. The burger bar was closed for the second week. The beach and the pools were not cleaned and plastic glasses left everywhere. Grounds of the hotel were well kept and clean shame this effort was not applied to the beach.

viva jalisco
Traveled via Sunwing Mar 01 - 08. Had just returned from DR a couple weeks earlier, but saw this trip on the website, at the price we decided to go. Had a terrific flight/arrival time, so in Mx from Regina by about noon. We were impressed with resort immediately. Large, clean comfortable rooms - good plumbing. Fridge stocked daily. Many amenities - bars, buffets, specialty eats. No booking for a la cartes - 1st come 1st served, which we liked. Although less than 800 rooms it is a large property, so there is walking to do. Lots of beach to walk, if you wish & the water is fine although there are breakers that can knock you over. Probably the warmest pools we've ever been in at a resort - they were great. Food & service is excellent & very plentiful (3 egg stations for breakfast, for eg). Entertainment each night - some better than others, but still OK. Rated as 'very good value' as our all-inclusive was about 50% regular posted (Sunwing) rate. Would consider this one of the finest resorts we have been & would/will return sometime in the future
