The resort was clean and well kept. Enployees were friendly and very willing to help with anything you asked for. Victor was the best activity person we could have asked for. He made our trip even more fun than it would have been without him. Evening entertainment could have been better, but was not horrible.

This resort was a huge disappointment. If you’re thinking about booking a Riu, save your money and your sanity. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place was not family-friendly. No welcome drink, barely any food options, and everything closed ridiculously early. No entertainment, no nightlife — nothing. My kids (9–15) were bored out of their minds. The resort was overcrowded, and it honestly felt like we paid to be stuck somewhere with nothing to do. We had to leave the hotel just to find activities, and even that was a mission with all the traffic. The final straw? A cockroach by the ice cream at the buffet. Bugs everywhere. Absolutely unacceptable. The only good thing? The rooms were clean — and that’s me being generous. If I could get a refund, I would in a heartbeat. Think twice (or three times) before booking this place. Total waste of money.

I have never been to mexico before the hotel and staff were friendly and courteous. I was super disappointed there was no club to go dancing. Pretty much after entertainment was done it got very quiet. I assume the sister hotel in renovations is where the club would be. The food was ok but im not a big buffet person . I did eat at the steakhouse and italian both good! The asian not so much. Im glad i went but this wont be my choice if i go again.

We stayed at RIU Vallarta for 6 nights with our family — 9 people across 3 rooms — for a family gathering. At first, everything seemed great: the resort is beautiful, the beach is lovely, and the staff were friendly. I was ready to give this place 5 stars. Unfortunately, two days before the end of our trip, all of us got food poisoning. I had the most severe symptoms and had to call the on-site doctor. The doctor confirmed a gastrointestinal infection caused by food or water and charged me $400 USD for the visit and medication. I ended up being sick for the last 2 days of our vacation and a full week after returning home. What made things worse was how customer relations handled the situation. When I reached out to report what happened, they showed no concern or empathy and simply told me to contact their corporate office. There was no follow-up, no reassurance, and no sign that they were taking food safety seriously. It’s extremely disappointing that a resort of this level would allow this to happen and then charge a fortune for medical care caused by their own food. What could have been a perfect vacation turned into a miserable experience for our entire family.
