Great venue. Good food, beautiful beach and great water to swim in. Clean everywhere and great staff. Seaweed was abundant but very nice to step in. Like grass.

We had a great experience staying at the hotel. The rooms and the hotel grounds were clean, the choice and quality of food and drinks excellent. My only sugesstion for the improvement is the prompt removal of the sargasum from the beach. The stuff was wonderful; Especially the beach waiter Enrique and entertainment Emanuel and Joe.

Visiting this Riu property was excellent, you did not want for anything, the beach was large, pool side seating was great and the staff took care of anything you asked for. We had a wonderful time.

Rooms are clean,mattresses are on the hard side. Breakfast is plenty and has everything eggs,fresh fruit,fresh juice, meats,baked goods. Staff is very friendly and helpful and working very hard to accommodate guests. Dinner buffet for me was a little more to desired. Overall great experience.

The place is really great. It's clean, the staff are amazing (especially Other Services!). Lots of good chairs around the pool and although there was a lot of kelp washing up on the shore, they were good about clearing it from the beach. The food is really good - highly recommend the resort. One suggestion - just for those times when you might've had too much sun, or the weather is not the best, is a game room or some place for kids to hang out inside. Otherwise, thank you so much for the great stay!

The grounds are absolutely gorgeous! Amazing staff - shoutout to Enrique, Saul, Fanny, Aldo, Oscar who all made our stay exceptional. Food and drinks very good! Only negative comment is that there is no music/fun at the adults only pool. We brought our own music. Also check-in was a bit complicated for some reason... nothing to complain about. I still give this resort a 5 star. We are already talking about going back :)

The staff was super friendly, they cleamed the room everyday and the beach was a few steps away! Highly recommend this hotel. It felt safe that you needed to check in at a gate to come in and there was people walking all day long to 5th Ave.

Our greeting was pleasant and cordial, and we were able to use our room a bit early. Room was clean, and sufficiently stocked to meet our needs. The pool was clean and the area monitored regularly by staff.
