6.5 Okay
Pros:Amenities - lots of restaurants and bars Location - close to downtown/beach Option to use neighboring Riu Santa Fe hotel
Cons:Food was mediocre, wine was bad. One guest got sick from what I can only guess was something he eat from a Riu Palace restaurant. Very loud - even in room.

10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Amazing views!! Great location with a 5 minute cab ride to town. The service is incredible and you are treated like royalty. Doesn't feel crowded even though it was completely booked. The staff is completely committed to ensure you are comfortable. The pool is absolutely beautiful and we loved the gym. Rooms are nice but not over the top. Very safe resort with guards at the gate. There are two sides to the resort, a quiet side and a side for the younger crowd. Even though we had the quieter side, some pool music would be nice. The landscape and views of lands end are incredible. Food is very good and plentiful as were the drinks. Pool side service was great and very easy to keep your drink full!! We will stay at the Riu again next trip.
Cons:You can not swim on this beach. It is cool to watch the massive waves crash on shore though. The buffet selection for breakfast and lunch gets tired after a few days. They need another towel station at the quieter pool. It was quite a hike to go get towels exchanged. I booked an ocean view room and got a garden view. Since the hotel was booked, they couldn't move us for a day but when they did, we got the best rooms in the resort!
