    Honeymoon stay

    This was our honeymoon couples trip, everything thing and everyone was great and nice. The workers will serve you with a smile. Our room was always maintained. Perfect for our five day stay.

    Not worth your money or time

    Food was good and staff was friendly. That being said, the resort was simply way too busy and seemed poorly equipped or prepared to deal with the sheer amount of people. Pools and restaurants were packed and we were constantly waiting in lines. Pool water was very dirty for the first two days of our trip and rooms were very noisy, affecting how well we were able to enjoy the room and sleep. Checkout was unorganized and chaotic. Would not recommend. Would not go back. Would actually avoid all Riu hotels after this experience.
