#1 thing about the Riu Vallarta is their staff - from check-in to check-out they are so caring and want you to enjoy your stay. The buffet food was better than expected and much better than the Vallarta Palace where we stayed the second week at almost twice the price! St. George restaurant was a treat, the steak house just... more

Just returned from Riu Vallarta (Feb 5th 2010) Was a great stay. We were a large group so they did orientation (welcomed with a cocktail) and handed out our keys. Hint: Do NOT take a room near the disco (rooms around #0020)-- Our friends had this room and it was UNBEARABLE. They had to wait 2 days for a different... more

I must begin by saying this is the 2nd Mexican all- inclusive resort we have been to in 2 months. The first was the Excellence Riviera Cancun which set the bar extremely high for anything else. Had we been at the Riu first, we probably would have been more impressed. The resort is impressive looking, was clean and the rooms... more

First of all, anyone who has a complaint about this resort, is someone who is looking for the ultimate place or has one little picky thing that has not met their particular needs. We found the hotel a great place, wonderful and helpful staff, plenty of great food to eat at "all" the buffets and restaurants and plenty of refreshments... more

I just returned from a one week stay at the Riu Vallarta in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. I must say this one one of the best vacations I have ever had. Let's start with the hotel. The place is immaculate! The staff are always cleaning. Thank you to our maid Carmen (room 4052) for always keeping our room so clean and... more

There are times in your life where you see the beautiful picture post cards but then actually visit the place where the photo was taken and it does not live up to the picture. The Riu Vallarta definitely lives up to any photo taken of the place. From the time you enter the wide and welcoming foyer and lobby, while... more

We stayed at the Riu Vallarta the first week of January 2010. Check-in was painless as we were met by a hotel representative who sat us down in the group we arrived with. We had a 15 minute chat about the layout & description and then got our room keys. I was ready to ask for an upgrade if there... more

I have read some bad reviews on this resort, I just cant find anything bad to say about this place. Me and my boyfriend went just before Christmas for a week and everything was perfect. The pool was great, the service was amazing and the beach was gorgeous! What more could you ask for? We didnt know what to expect... more

Went there for a wedding and the hotel was less than accommodating. They triple booked the day and kept shuffling all the wedding parties around. It is a beautiful hotel, but there is more to a hotel than pictures. You are expected to line up at 8am to make a reservation. Once in the a la cartes, the food presented... more

Let me preface this by saying that I am not difficult to please and I am not a picky eater. That being said, I give the Riu Vallarta a big thumbs up. We had a relatively late arrival, so I emailed ahead with my room preferences, including requesting one of the foam mattress toppers. Although I didn't receive a response... more
