Great trip
We had an excellent time. The front desk people were very helpful. We loved the service that we received in the buffet and a la carte restaurants. We especially appreciated Victor, Esau, Mateo in the buffets and Cheway at the Bamboo restaurant. We has an awesome time.

May 14, 2025Big Bang for the buck
We enjoyed our 10 night stay at RIU Emerald Bay . The resort is well run . The grounds are generally clean and tidy, ample lounge chairs and nice pools. The food and drinks were good as was the service. The staff is friendly and helpful.We had two issues. The big one is the elevators. It seems they are programmed to go straight from the bottom floor to the top and vjce versa without stopping in between. We had long waits with one that was 13 minutes. The other issue was the room bathroom.There was only one bottle of soap on the wall and one towel rack on one side. Sounds nit picky but it was annoying.Otherwise the room was comfortable and spacious, great view and large balcony. One more thought… more English t.v. channels would be appreciated.

Cousins Birthday celebration
My cousin selected this hotel for her fiftieth birthday party away. The hotel was nice and clean. The beaches were also clean. The service was excellent. Upon checking in the hotel upgraded us to ocean view with a request. The pools were clean and spacious. Two adult areas to hang out were a pleasure.

Nice week get away
We've stayed at a number of RUI's now....very consistent. If Its a family stay its perfect! If you lean a little more toward an adult type preference .....not the best. Food was fine, drinks were fine ...all in all a nice stay.
