First of all, don't listen to the 1 star people... they are careless, and obviously too picky to enjoy anything. Alright! - Our vacation at the Riu was pretty amazing! The beach was awesome, they picked up the washed up seaweed even, every morning. This is the type of beach you think about when you think of a very awesome... More

After our third stay at a RIU property in the Carribean area, we are sold on the quality of these resorts. They maintain high standards in all their hotels. We were happy to finally realize that RIU has a frequent traveler program where you get points each time you stay at a RIU so we signed up. I think this... More

Jan 18-21, 2012 Beach, pool, food, staff, grounds, and service were all EXCELLENT here, but our room air conditioning didn't work! And we weren't the only ones - we asked many guests about their own room temperatures, and found this was very common. One guest wondered if the resort turns off the AC in the off season. Our room AC... More

My husband and I just got back from a week at the Riu and loved it! The size of the resort was perfect, we didn't feel crowded. Beach was lovely. Had some seaweed, which they clean up daily, but hey, it's the ocean! We requested a remodeled room on an upper floor for a better view. Got the remodeled room,... More
