    Great location!

    I stayed at this resort for my birthday. Overall, the hotel was good but I had a few areas of concern. The 1st thing was upon arrival, they didn't have the 2 double beds that I had paid for months before. They said something about since it was booked as a package deal through Riu vacations, that they could only accept it as a request. So, the 1st night, they put us in a King room with the promise of a room with 2 beds afterwards. I didn't think that was fair, due to the fact, that I booked the hotel's vacation package online. I was informed that since I booked through the hotel's vacation package, that's a 3rd party site. Well, how was I to know that! Then, no one gave clear information about dinner reservations. When I asked about making reservations, I was told that we could just show up and if crowded, we can be put on waiting list. Well, that's not the case. I showed up to the steakhouse and was informed that they were booked and had no more reservations for the next 2 days. I was very confused at this point. I begged the manager at the front of the restaurant to make an exception because I was celebrating my 56th birthday. He finally worked something out. I was very appreciative. The hotel is in a very good location and overall, the staff was nice.

    Daughters wedding

    This was the second time we stayed at this Resort and this time it was for my daughter's wedding. we had 75 guests come to the resort and they were very happy ,lots of food lots of drinks and the beach was great for body surfing. This is not the newest of resorts however it's just perfect for most of us. My mom uses a walker and was able to get a ground floor unit that she could use to get around easily. The entertainment at night was sub par. The resort itself is clean and all you need. Our wedding was beautiful on the beach.

    Great stay!

    Came here with my family and friends for a wedding. Overall, we had a superb experience. Wish the adult pool was slightly bigger as it was a little bit crammed other than that no complaints lots of variety of food to choose from excellent service and quality.

    FANTASTIC ALL-INCLUSIVE!!

    This was my first time taking a trip to Mexico along with my family. There were 15 of us and we were accommodated without any hassles. Great staff, great food, great drinks (especially the Pina Colada's!), plenty of chairs and spacing to truly kick back relax, and enjoy every moment of this bit of paradise! No lines or long waiting for parasailing and other water activities! Sooooo much fun!! I truly have no complaints and will definitely be a guest in the future! Thank you for such an amazing vacation! 😊
