Apr 22, 2025No Issues, but Won't Rush Back
Enjoyed my 3 nights there with extended family. It's a large resort with two big pools and a swim-up bar. You have to balance the price paid for this resort versus your expectations. I was pleased with the room, the amenities and the variety of food. Bar service was great and wait times, if any, were more than reasonable. The room was comfortable and a decent size. The coffee shop verandah off the main lobby was a pleasant, shaded escape. We were a group of 10, who were able to meet and get a large table whenever we wanted for dinner and at breakfast at the buffet. Food wasn't the greatest though. Some members of my group felt the Japanese restaurant was a huge disappointment. Likewise, I felt that way about the steak restaurant. We went early and got a table, but many other people were told there was an hour wait at busy time. It occurred to me that they might actually throttle the number of tables available to control the number of portions served and the physical constraints of serving that many steak dinners! The buffet seemed to have gone down in quality since our last visit, but you will certainly find ample food options for everyone, be it lunch, breakfast and dinner. Bar service everywhere was great. Tipping is not expected, but the bars and coffeeshop had jars for tips if you choose to leave a tip. Just be aware that the beach at the hotel is not for swimming. Large waves and quite the under-tow, with a lifeguard to make sure you don't even think about swimming!

Great place!
We enjoyed our stay. The food was good drinks the usual at all inclusive resorts, the staff was friendly. We didn’t really participate in any entertainment as we went into town most nights. It was only a $5 uber ride into town. The area around the resort in an unimproved area which is kind of dirty but the resort is very clean. The only thing I didn’t really like in the rooms was there wasn’t much counter space around the sinks but there was storage space below. Overall it was a good stay

Fun Stay for Families
This was a great resort for our little family of 3. I had stayed once before at their sister hotel, Riu Santa Fe. This one is more catered to families. We went for out little boys 2nd birthday. The hotel gave us a small cake and a birthday note for him when we checked in. This is an all inclusive resort and had multiple restaurants and pools and bars everywhere. Everything was covered in the booking fees. No reservations needed for the restaurants but it can turn into a long wait at times. We usually stuck with the buffet since the 2 year old is a little picky. We did go to the steak restaurant once and the food was wonderful. The staff was great! They all were happy to see our boy and got us a high chair immediately whenever we asked. There are 2 big swimming pools there plus a little kids pool. We stuck with the big pools and were just holding our little guy. There was a small recliner area in the pool that him and other smaller children can stand on without too much worry but there is a steep drop to the regular pool. So keep an eye on them because if something catches their eye and they run they could get hurt. We could not go in the water on the beach due to bad waves. The lifeguards would whistle at people and stop them from going in which was very safe. We rented a beach cabana 1 day for about $50 so our son could play in the sand. You rent from the hotel lobby and they let you stay in the cabana pretty much all day from like 9am to 5pm. There is also a waiter there to help grab drinks while you hang out. No food though. Our waiters name is Pablo. He was a very nice guy. When we got hungry we left our stuff and grabbed some food. It was very secure. We ended up staying at our resort the whole time we were there. They pretty much had everything we needed there. Room service even brought us a big container of milk for our little guy. Bring some small bills for tips! The room was fine. We had a king bed and a tv. We couldn't watch any tv or YouTube but we didn't care too much since we were on vacation. The water from the sink/shower had a saltwater taste to it but I think that's how most of the resorts there are. Housekeeping comes by everyday to clean and change sheets/towels. They restock the minibar and liquor in the rooms every few days as well. There are shows in the evening time (around 8pm to 10pm) for people of all ages. The 8pm shows are mostly for kids to participate in. I believe they have a little room for younger kids to play in and do arts and crafts as well. They also have vendors at the stage area where you can go to book little excursions if you are inclined to do that. We would stay here again next time.

Great as always
Checking in was very smooth working with Fatima, she's awesome! Property is always kept up nicely. The steakhouse and the Mexican restaurant were our favorites, and of course the buffets and pool grill were great! Louis and Miguel are always a pleasure as bartenders! It was great to see Jorge again, and the bartender on the mezzanine (I can't remember her name, sorry) We've been guests there for over 10 years, can't wait to return!
