A long overdue vacay after several rough months of "life" just "life-ing" . Really enjoyed this place and I'm super selective as it relates to all inclusive resorts. Staff was great. Food was awesome. Themed parties were the best. Everyone was so friendly - guests and staff. Already planning a return trip. The ONLY negative would be the experience booking excursions on site. Our representative was not very organized or skilled in booking. We sat for over 2 hours in the heat while he tried to figure out how to take our payment. At one point he blamed our credit cards as the issue only to discover he was not entering the information in correctly. We kept telling him nothing was wrong with our credit cards - we've been using them all day but he insisted it was us...smh....! FINALLY he called over a colleague who was able to process our payment in less than 2 minutes. We missed a well anticipated activity patiently waiting for this guy to figure it out which was disappointing to say the least. If we didn't want to do this excursion so bad, we would've walked away. Overall, you will enjoy this place.

It was very clean the bathrooms were impressively clean. Majority of staff were friendly and helpful and respectful. Only had 2 staff that were less than friendly but they might have been having a bad day. Food was some of the best for an all inclusive compared to others. House cleaners were very good at keeping things neat and felt safe. All the questions we had were answered promptly. This property was very impressive and we will most likely book at another RIU again because of our great experience. Thank you for making it a great getaway from a busy life of work!

Service at this hotel is not good at all. They’re clearing trying to cut corners as much as possible to save money. Definitely more of a party hotel than anything. Rooms were decent and clean but that was really the only good aspect. Cannot swim in the ocean out front of the resort as the current is too strong. No jacuzzis as well on any of the riu resorts. Place is basura
