Overall enjoyed our stay. Very clean property with staff constantly cleaning all times of the day. I liked how our room was cleaned multiple times a day. The proximity to the beach is nice and the beach is beautiful. The activities were really fun especially around the pool area. I don’t really like that they close the pool in the evening, but I understand that’s part of the cleaning procedure. Transportation to the Riu parties at caribe were convenient and the parties are very lively. I wish there was karaoke! I feel like that would be a really good activity to add, maybe even just showing videos to sing along on the Riu stage. We loved the big buffet area, a convenient area to reconvene with everyone in the party. Lots of variety and healthy options available like fresh fruit. The restaurants are very beautiful inside and I like how they are all colocated in the same area. The food is okay, our favorite was Krystal, the octopus main dish is a stand out for us. We would come back again :)
