Expedia did not include airport transfers with our package so we had to take care of private transportation at the airport. Resort was stunning. But we couldn’t book dinner reservations at any of the restaurants. 3 of the restaurants were buffets…so we ended up eating at the buffet most nights as there were more options.

A RIU property never disappoints! Beautiful facilities, beautiful views and clean comfortable rooms! Always avoid naming staff members because I’ll for sure leave out someone that made our stay extra enjoyable. Everyone there is always very friendly and takes pride in their work. Can’t wait until our next adventure!

We had such a great experience at RIU! The entire resort was extremely clean, from the rooms to the common areas. The grounds were absolutely beautiful and very well maintained — you can tell they take a lot of pride in keeping everything looking nice. The landscaping really made it feel like a relaxing tropical getaway. The food was decent with a good variety of options, and we were always able to find something we enjoyed. Overall, it was a really good experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was welcoming, and we truly enjoyed our stay. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others looking for a clean, beautiful resort with a great vibe! 🌴✨

The staff have been amazing, so friendly and helpful. The service is top notch. The app was neat, but also takes away from connecting with humans :-) Rooms are very clean, amenities are great and the new renovations are fantastic! Great Resort.
