Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests highlighted the overall cleanliness of the resort and the friendly service provided by the staff, which contributed positively to their experience. However, many expressed dissatisfaction with the food quality and the crowded atmosphere, especially during meal times and around the pool area. While some found the size of the resort manageable, others felt it was overwhelming and noisy. The amenities were decent, but there were complaints about the lack of comfortable seating by the pool and insufficient explanation of resort features during check-in.

Very good
Brian, Jul 2017
Pros (+) The rooms were clean and quiet. We were in a room with two full size beds with 2 adults and 2 kids (10 and 11) and the room was enough space. The resort is very large and the staff is friendly - especially if you tip - a bit less so if you do not. Our kids enjoyed the activities at the pool and the shows in the evening.
Cons (-) The front office staff and the bellmen could explain the resort and its amenities a bit more upon check in. You basically need to discover things on your own. The food in the restaurant was average - many things became stale or overcooked when sitting under the heat lamps.

Pros (+) The resort was very clean, and the drinks were well made.
Cons (-) The size of the riu isn't well represented in pictures. This place is massive and crowded. It was a five minute walk to the lobby and a fifteen minute walk to the beach. Unless you get up early and snag a chair at the pool, there won't be any available. The crowds at meals were overwhelming and rude. The single king room was actually two double beds pushed together with scratchy sheets. All in all...
