The property is really nice, and we enjoyed the pool and beach. All the staff were super friendly and helpful. The food was nothing exciting but not terrible. Our room was clean but was on the older side, and was a little loud, but I think that was our proximity to the laundry room. Overall, a nice place to stay if you want a good experience, but don't have a huge budget.

Great property. RIU had 5 properties nearby which we had access to. There is a 24 hour sports bar across the street at RIU Tequila which guests have access to. I went there often and Off duty male staff, on more than one occasion, targeted us, it seemed to rob us.
