Jan 20, 2026Relaxing and Invigorating,Cultural
This Is our second time at Riu Jalisco. The property was totally upgraded in 2025 and the rooms and pools are amazing. We enjoyed listening to music in the bar by the reception area, going to the Riu stage shows, and swimming in the pools as well as ocean. The food is very good — lots of veggie's, salads,fruit, and seafood. We also attended exercise and dance classes. Having a massage on the beach while the waves crashed was relaxing. The weather is always beautiful. The staff are friendly and excellent at what they do. We did several excursions: snorkeling at Los Arcos, butterfly sanctuary tour, and visit to San Panchos and Sayulita.This is a favorite place for us to vacation. It does not disappoint. We use Delta Vacations.

Riu Jalisco - Great for Families!
Beautiful resort that is exceptionally clean, with incredibly friendly and attentive staff throughout our stay. The beach area was spotless and finding chairs was easy, which made relaxing stress free. The food was quite good overall, with plenty of variety and flavorful options, and the staff truly stood out for their warmth and hospitality. One notable downside was the specialty restaurants not accepting reservations. This often meant lining up nearly two hours before opening just for a chance to get a seating time. On a few occasions, we weren’t able to secure a spot until late in the evening and ended up returning to the buffet instead. Additionally, the half wall in the bathroom made privacy a bit challenging for a family, though it was still manageable. The recent renovations have made the resort feel fresh, new, and very modern, which many will appreciate. However, the design is so contemporary that it sometimes felt more like Miami or California than Mexico. I would have loved to see more traditional Mexican charm and cultural touches preserved, as that sense of place is part of what makes traveling special. Overall, it’s a lovely resort and one I would definitely recommend to friends and family. I would also consider returning, though I hope future updates bring back a bit more of the resort’s original Mexican character.

Nice place for a beach vacation
We stayed at the Riu Jalisco for 9 days in January 2026. The beach and hotel were beautiful. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful, We will stay here again and will refer to family and friends.

Jan 19, 2026Trip with wee ones
Hotel was clean and new. Pool decks were dangerously slippery, particularly the kids pool. Buffet was okay, other restaurants were definitely not worth waiting in line for 2 hours to get a table at. Need to improve the food and the wait times to get a reservation.
