"Great location, clean facilities, plenty of meal options throughout hotel and nearby. The beds were very comfortable but they are full size not queen which made it tough for young adults to share beds. The rooms were on the smaller size but adequately furnished. Could use more hooks to hang wet towels and bathing suits but otherwise had a pleasant stay."

"Our trip was during the first week of August 2026. I only have good things to say about this trip. This is my third Riu All-inclusive Hotel that I have beento, and like the other two Riu's, they never dissapoint. I am a 63 yr old grandmother, and on this trip I went with my 18 year old college bound grandson. We are on oppposite ends of life-experiance and view-of-the-world- spectrum and it worked. We did stuff together, and went our own ways too. We both had a wonderful time. The facility was in excellent condition and exceeded my expectations - I had read that they had been undergoing renovations; those renovations are completed. Both grandson and I had a wonderful time. There was buffet style dining, and fine dining. All were excellent. It was very easy for us to eat healthy - lots of fresh foods. One could go in a different direction with amazing desert options. Lots of entertainment and activities. At night my grandson participated in these, while I went to bed : ) All staff members we interatcted with were excellent. Our room was clean, and had a balcony with a view of the Carribean Ocean. We didn't want to go back home - I seriously considered adding another two days onto this trip, but did not want to loose a day making phone calls to set that up."
