We loved the stay for the most part - the resort is beautiful and well maintained overall, the beach is gorgeous, many dining options with no restrictions or reservations necessary, which i really appreciated (the Italian restaurant was not great, but we enjoyed the food in the other ones).The weather was perfect too, and we were able to book some really fun excursions with reasonable pricing through the hotel destination services! A couple of things that were not so good - the rooms could definitely use some updating, the service is not super friendly or eager (except for bell boys and bartenders). Also, front desk never gave us clear info on anything we asked (mutiple people). And the tiny little bugs in the rooms were driving us insane - they were in everything. At first i freaked out thinking they were bed bugs - thank god no! I don't know what they were, but it's still unpleasant finding them everywhere in the room. Entertainment was ok, but nothing too interesting - it was mostly local singers (although pretty good ones!) On a good note - RIU parties did not disappoint, sooo much fun! I would say it's a decent resort, but for the money we paid - i've been to better ones for sure.

My bathroom had a flood and no one did anything about it. I waited 40 mins for someone to take care of it and all my stuff got destroyed in toilet water. Disgusting. I requested a manager to call and follow up with me and nothing. Food was nasty too. Do not recommend.

I wish I can give -5 rating to this hotel. The management staff was unhelpful and unresponsive during our stay. When the bathroom toilet flooded and water spread throughout the room, it took 45 minutes for someone to address the issue, and we were given a hard time when requesting a room change. Additionally, the restaurant staff consistently refused to seat us, claiming they were full, even when there were no reservations and plenty of open tables, highlighting a need for better training across their management team.
