Birthday vacation
Great hotel and location. Staff was friendly and always helpful. Hotel was beautiful. The only thing I would add is more events for adults only.

Best experience
This was our first trip to Mazatlán and I’m beyond satisfied for choosing RUI we are coming back. The staff: Armando, Rafael, Nancy, and Alberto were what made our experience the best!

Very good value
I have stayed at this resort twice with my family of 5 and I have a lot of good things to say. PROS: -The resort is very clean. They are constantly cleaning, and it shows. -The two bedroom suites are great and so reasonably priced for family's, which is what got us to book twice. - You never have to worry about spots by the pool! There are so many spots and spaces. Zero waking up at the crack of dawn to save your spots. We had zero issues constantly changing chairs based off where we wanted to be at that moment - The beach is great. Unlike the cancun side, you will not deal with seaweed. Yes, you miss out on the white sand but it is a great beach to walk up and down. The most beautiful sunsets. - The kid pool area is great and the indoor play area is a huge pro to escape mid day heat. - No issues waiting for food, you are always able to get through the meal smoothly and the wait staff is attentive throughout the meal (of course this is also hugely because everything is buffet) CONS: - Basically all the restaurants are buffets. Even the "a la carte" restaurants you make reservations at, are just a smaller buffet. Pretty sure you could even find most of the food at the main large buffet anyway. That being said, we always found things at the buffet we were happy with. Of course sometimes items were misses, but there are always hits to find. - We basically never had pool side drink service. On both of our stays, I wasn't ever approached by someone asking if I would like anything. This may be different at the adult only pool. I personally don't think it is a big deal to walk up to the bar to ask for a drink though. -I struggled with this one the most... aside from black coffee served at breakfast there is no coffee shop or espresso anywhere on the resort. We ended up doing a 15-20 minute walk down the beach to get a latte at a cafe, but didn't discover this place till the last few days - Inconsistencies in how well the hotel app works - This resort is far from mazatlan, which is no problem if you are planning on staying at the resort the whole time. But it is a nice city to explore. Your mileage may vary depending on at what price you book this resort at, but for us it was definitely great for the value.
