    Would've been great if food and drink wasn't so terrible

    5 stars - Customer Service. The staff was all friendly, responsive, and really hustled! 5 stars - Cleanliness. Rooms were spotless. 4 stars - Beach and pool area - pretty beach, well maintained pools 3 stars - Hotel rooms (a bit outdated, only one outlet by the beds, etc). 1 star - Food and Drink. This honestly put a huge damper on the trip. Food was terrible, alcoholic drinks SUPER watered down with overly sugary mixes. Nobody could even get a buzz. I am honestly shocked at the good reviews for the food. Breakfast was decent but everything else left alot to be desired. If you consider yourself as someone who enjoys a nicer meal, you sadly won't find that here.

    MECATION/VIP

    Last minute solo vacation. I REALLY enjoyed the food, friendly staff, and the entire resort. I was treated like VIP from start to finish. The Spa service was excellent and everyone was professional and welcoming. I will definitely be back and have recommended to all family and friends. And, I got more than my monies worth. Thank you Riu!
