Staff were wonderful and always helpful. The buffet was wonderful every day. The beach was beautiful most days. We found on the weekend, the beach was not cleaned up as well as other days. The à la cartes were not the greatest and we found the food at the buffet was better. All in all, a great family hotel.

Very well kept rooms, and courteous, staff friendly and remembered us. Coffee superb, and food both good basic, and gourmet. Nice upgrade. Great "Mexican" Art Deco architect. Music in Astoria good. But, ...short on hot water in shower, no hand soap at sink, stairways need edge indicators as are very dangerous, small pets would be good, charge stns. poor.

I was very shocked by the checkout experience. We had to wait two hours for our pickup, and during this time we were treated very poorly by the front desk because we had lost our room key. The receptionist said we would be charged for the lost key. What surprised me most is that there is no information at all on the room key stating that it must be returned or that there is a fee if it is lost. However, there is a large notice on the towel card explaining penalties for losing it, but nothing similar on the room key itself. I have never experienced a situation where returning a plastic room key was mandatory or resulted in a charge. We asked the manager for assistance, hoping to resolve the situation calmly, but unfortunately the manager (Ernesto) was even more aggressive than the receptionist. This experience completely changed our impression of the RIU brand. Based on how we were treated at checkout, I would not recommend staying at any RIU hotel.
