Mothers Day in Mexico 2025
A group of 20 of us came to this resort to celebrate Mother’s Day and Birthdays. This resort is beautiful! The service is amazing! The beach did have TONS of seaweed but I didn’t smell it at all. The waves were very high so I didn’t spend much time in the ocean. The restaurants are hit or miss but the Buffet is great! The turn down service every night was an extra treat. I spent all my time in the infinity pool and I think it’s a resort favorite. I met tons of nice people there.

Loved this resort, would go back again for sure!
This was the first time staying at this resort and everything was excellent! It was clean, food and service were great! Loved the 3 pools! I’m not a huge beach person, but the beach was great as well!

Know why you are coming here
I have a very mixed feeling about this one. I really liked the RIU stage shows and I think the quality was really great! However the RIU party was a real disappointment, much worse arrangement, like you are going to a worse property that was not set up to handle the traffic, I am being nice. Many of the pool workers were super nice, and I think the front desk people should learn from them. Seriously, if the management is reading this, I recommend you retrain your front desk. Back to the point, if you like drink and party, come here. No food after 10pm except limited room service and no food between 10:30am and 12pm.,

LIVE PARASITES IN FOOD
During dinner, I made a salad and discovered a live parasite in it as I began to eat. The manager, though initially apologetic, quickly lost her sympathetic demeanor. We received no compensation for this incident. Instead, she suggested we try the steakhouse. We waited there for 45 minutes, watching others who arrived after us enjoy their meals. Eventually, she offered to deliver the food to our room, but by then, we had lost our appetite and didn't want to eat. The next day, she didn't follow up with us or offer any additional amenities. When we asked for a refund, she was rude and claimed she had nothing to offer. Avoid eating here unless the food is thoroughly cooked or reviewed before consumption. The staff, however, was friendly, and the facility was clean. But what does cleanliness matter when you lose your appetite after such an experience?

Awesome resort!!
Great adults only resort! Food was comparable to any all inclusive, beautiful location, amazing rooms, pools, beach access. Only complaints are the entertainment was a little lacking, you can shuttle to the Riu party resorts but not much going on at the resort. The location also lacks any visibility to a sunset, but you can find a spot nearby to see that if you want!
