Apr 29, 2025Front desk is a joke..
We were delayed one day because of bad weather and plane not flying. We called resort to say we would be day late and keep room. The lady just says you didnt book with us so cant help and hangs up. I called travel company and they contacted resort and got room held but was told we would still be charged for 1st night. I understand that and we had insurance so no worry. We arrive the next day and the first words were you are here at noon and check in is at 4pm so no room is ready. I said but you charged me for last night so why is my room not ready? Plus i have lots of riu points can i get an upgrade. He ask his boss who just says no rooms available with out ever looking. Then they fumble around and find us a room suddenly `that is clean. We were meeting our daughter and husband there and they did arrive on Monday ahead of us. But their a/c didnt work and they told front desk. Next thing same thing telling front desk and nothing. So they told the travel ambassador at resort and they got it fixed. My wife asked for a robe , never got it. Our tv remote had dead batteries and had just enough power to turn on but not change channels. Another trip twice to front desk. Nothing changed they write it down and i guess toss it when u leave. Our refrigerator was never restocked , but they did leave water. My wife asked maid and she got her a robe. Our soap dispenser was full but never worked either. Then i looked under at drain on it and found the cap had never been removed so after pulling it off it worked fine. Now at pool there is signs everywhere it opens at 7am. If you leave anything before that it will be picked up and they did lol. Still most were there by 7 am and plenty of chairs. Yet some did leave only to return at noon. But with that said the guy next to us got in pool to cool down and a staff took his umbrella to give a guy that shows up at noon. No problem he just took one from someone else. The good side the grounds were clean and the food was fantastic everywhere we ate. Over all staff was friendly and helpful. Just front desk was a joke if you had problems. I emailed the resort when we got home with this info and since it was an email that no one will ever see except maybe front desk. They have yet to ever respond and dont plan on them too.

Loud 20 and 30 somethings not a place to relax!
We paid a lot of money to listen to loud 20 and 30 somethings yelling and hooting and playing loud speakers...at all hours we thought we were going to an all adult resort and paid extra but think this resort was one of the worst resorts we have visited. The so called adults at this resort we're obnoxious and rude! The service, food and cleanliness of the resort was great but if you want a relaxing vacation this is not the resort to visit!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun
This was our 25th year of having a Girls Vacation with my 2 besties. I have a Riu account and would suggest anyone choosing a Riu property for their vacation to sign up and become a member. You will save on your bookings cost and have access to easy check in. Free shuttle service to and from airport is included and so easy to use. Prior to arriving you can check in online and advance to an express line, when arriving, bypassing many other vacationers who did not check in on line. The grand jr suite was amazing. Each of us had our own bed. Amenities in the room are top notch with top name brands for beverages. We were all very pleased with the entire resort and what it had to offer, Food, drink, rooms, restaurants, pools, spa, everything for your pleasure. Yes, us Girls had a very fun and relaxing time.

Apr 27, 2025Great place
We enjoyed our stay. A little disappointed at the view from our room. We did have a partial ocean view but mostly it was of an empty lot. And noisier than expected
