Property was great and the staff was as well. The howler monkeys serenaded us at night and let us get a glimpse of them chilling in the tree tops while talking a walk on the beach. The fresh fruits and coffee were amazing and we miss that already. It was a great experience and can’t wait to try another RIU resort.

The hotel is very nicely situated and a great place for vacation but the facility needs an upgrade on lots of things around including the rooms, beds, tv choices of English channels. Some menu items and restaurants were advertised but not available or opened. We had great service from staff members and very friendly, attentive and accommodating.

Had a wonderful time but rooms are outdated and dirty. Grounds are beautiful! Smaller RIU resort. They are rebuilding so should be perfect in a few years.
