"We’ve been to 3 separate RIU locations and this was by far our least favorite. However, I think this is a case of you get what you pay for and realizing this is more of a younger demographic party resort. The rooms are very basic and outdated. The themed restaurants are only open for dinner whereas at other RIUs they are open for lunch as well. Otherwise you are stuck with the buffet, which was lacking more costly items like seafood. I really missed the piles of shrimp, mussels, crab, etc that were at other RIU buffets, or the larger seafood plate offerings even at the restaurants (more than just a skewer of shrimp on your steak). You had to take a 10 min shuttle (it was free though!) to go to and from every themed RIU party located at an affiliated RIU. Sadly no room service was available, and no Café with pastries. A lot of this makes sense since the main customers we came across were younger college kids clearly just coming to party, who may not care so much about these amenities. Nonetheless… The view from our room was beautiful, we loved viewing the lighthouse across the way each night, the beach was nice and clean for swimming, and the shows and activities at the resort were very good. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and pretty attentive to the unruly overly-intoxicated kids. Unfortunately we ran in to too many of those during our stay and less 34+ year olds like ourselves. Overall, it was a clean pretty well kept resort & we had a nice time soaking up the sun. "
"We really enjoyed our stay. The pool is amazing! And the entertainment team were phenomenal! Never a dull moment we love them! They were very engaging, the room needs more update. The food choices were amazing! And the waiters felt like becoming our family. They are all amazing! And Flor from the buffet we will surely missed her. The only downside is the check in, he was on rush to check us in, never explain the where we can find the foods, we were so hungry when we arrive didnt even offer any drink during check in process. Spa was okay. Overall we love our time! Will come back soon!"

2/10 Terrible
"Honestly I cannot think of any reason to stay at this resort. They hide terrible service behind a language barrier . even when you translate and speak spanish to tell them exactly what you need, they just say no no no repeatedly. from the moment we checked in, they didn’t give us wifi codes or towel cards or bother to bring up our luggage we had to go back downstairs and collect it ourselves after waiting 45 mins. (no instruction here) every other resort we stayed at provided this service for us
they brung us a bottle of champagne with a broken cork and when we requested help to open it or a cork screw we were told no. it was only 9:30 pm.
terrible room service options if you aren’t an elite member. wifi disconnects all day long
there was hair in my soup at the Italian restaurant
it’s a small resort. the lobby/bar is the only hangout outside of the pools which close at like 6
there’s a view of a building being constructed across street where you literally have a direct view of the construction workers
our housekeeper left her dirty rags in our room along with the pillow cases that she changed
poor overall service and staff. these aren’t people who enjoy hospitality the forced smiles and holas from the staff and some of them just stare right at you. just unfriendly and unwelcomed feeling. maybe they hate this terrible resort also
the staff kept getting dinner order incorrect. brought out food we did not order "
"Looks amazing and maintained.
Staff super friendly and helpfull. Rooms are clean.
Lot of delicious food varieties at any time of the day.
Beach could be cleaner. Lots of seaweed and rocks along the shore."
