This is a nice family resort. It has two water parks for the kids, one for the little ones and another for the older ones. The staff is trying even with the constraints of Covid. Not everything is open, but in this time of the pandemic most places are in the same boat.More

The food was soooo bad! Really bad. The food was really unacceptable. I’m not even that picky but the food was really bad! I can’t believe the Riu would serve such horrible food. It’s a shame. The paying customers should get decent food.

It isn't neccessary for me to write the horrid details, read the poor reviews of which their are hundreds. They are mostly very accurate and in great detail.
I attest to the fact that drug dealers are hounding you day and night from the beach. You can't walk to the guard rail by the pools to watch the ocean and beach without a constant drumbeat of pushers vying for your attention. Don't bother walking on the beach. Don't let your teenagers or children get anywhere near the beach.
The security is basically non-existent. This resort is not safe. No police patrols or any attempt by authorities to run off the trouble makers.
It's very outdated and the lack of room maintenance is severe.
The restaurants are mostly closed because lack of paying guests and the resort is losing money like crazy.the poor food option are a reflection of this.
The resort and the people are extremely desperate for money. It's the great depression on steroids at this time.
I don't know if the other resorts are any better but I would suspect they are also having serious problems at this time.
Take your family or yourself to a known safe place in the USA. You will have a better time and not have to deal with all this BS in a corrupt foreign nation. It's not worth the money savings for certain.
The resort has an one reputation manager to respond to all the reviews. They need it to stay in business.
You have been adequately warned. Blame yourself if you disregard this advice.

We booked a suite online and when we arrived there were no suites available and they offered us a double joining room, one of the older rooms. We asked to be switched to the renovated rooms and we were 5 doors down from our family. It was the same exact food day in and day out. Not very good, and the worst part is that the hotel staff stole $900 out of my sisters purse while we were out swimming.
Dear Guest,
Thank you for staying and writing us a review.
First of all, we would like to sincerely apologize about the experience you had with us, and surely regret that your stay was impacted by the incident as mentioned at the pool area.
The security of our guests is one of our highest priorities since we want all of our guests to experience some care-free and safe holidays while staying with us. As an added precaution we have invested so that all our rooms are equipped with a safety deposit box provided free of charge at all times.
As mentioned on the registration card on arrival, valuable items and money have to be stored in the safety deposit box. Please note that therefore the insurance company merely assumes responsibility when the objects of value were stored in the room’s security safe at the moment of the disappearance or in case of forcible entry as per your check-in documents you signed to agree to our terms and conditions.
Of course, we cannot accuse anybody without having ample proof. However, unfortunately from your user name we cannot find any corresponding hotel booking nor derive enough information to find your case or which agency you booked through, so that we kindly invite you to raise a formal and detailed complaint through our After Travel Complaints Department via complaints@riu.com for a proper follow up.
We never want our guests to leave us with an unpleasant experience with the stay or the staff hospitality as well, as strive each day in order to make our guests smile and happy. Your feedback is extremely valuable to us, and will help us improve our services as we genuinely value our guests' reviews.
It is our hope you give us another chance to provide you with a better stay.
Best Regards,

Very nice to get away after a year of Covid-19. Place was not crowded and staff were great. I would come back again and remember to bring a light Jacket and long pants for the cool evenings. Seeing the whales was a plus.
