The food and amenities were great, the staff were friendly once we arrived for check-in. We had a glitch because of our flight delay of seven plus hours thereby missing our connecting flight. We arrived 24 hours after our check-in time but the hotel held our reservation after a few frantic phone calls. Once we got settled into our room our vacation was great.

Disliked: Amenities
The room and the food were good. The pools were terrible..too small..too many people…was afraid to go in due to so many people in such a small area. Seemed unsanitary. The beach area was also very crowned, noisy, many vendors that were relentless. the chairs were dirty. Not a pleasant resort for sitting by a pool or beach. the nightly entertainment was poor. The stage area not well laid out. Would not recommend.

This hotel could use a little extra love. It felt a bit understaffed. The bathroom was humid and the room smell of humidity overall. I’d bring my own bath towel if planning on staying here. As I entered my room one evening I was greeted by a roach. It’s safe to say it was not the only one I saw. The staff was sweet. The Italian restaurant was great and the steak house was good as well. The buffet had a good variety of options. This hotel does not offer room service. I feel I overpaid. I’ve stayed at another RIU before and I was expecting the same experience this time and that was not the case.

Clean room, great staff. Restaurants were good except the Asian.(we tried it 2x to make sure) There were no bicycles even though it was a listed amenity. Games room should be separate from the sports bar and have pinball and/or video games for the younger crowd. The pool table & foosball was coin operated so a real irritant for an all inclusive. No separate adult pool. Foam party at the activity pool was great for all ages. Pool umbrellas did not provide shade-they were very translucent. Great place but not for us.
