RIU is a reliable brand that don't dissappoint. Great hotel, have an upscale look and feel.
-Property was clean, everything worked, hot shower, clean bed, good amenities
-As usual the staff goes out of their way to make sure you have a good time
-Drinks were meh, the usual icy slush, you can only expect so much from a swim up bar.
-Food was good, freshly made, good tasting. There are few "specialty" restaurant on property that you can try out as well, no reservation required which was nice.
The biggest suprise for us was the "Riu Party" events. There are 4 days out of the week, they shuttle all Riu hotel guests to a cenral Riu location for an all out party. They are themed, some are day some are night parties. There are food, drinks, huge knee high pool, constant foam and laser lights, swim up bar, patio area with great views and loud music with entertainment.
It had very much like a College Spring Break vibes but it was pretty fun. After the 3rd event, we were pretty much partied out, can only take so much party anthems from 90's thats on a loop.
Overall Great Stay, great location, great time! We would highly recommend a visit.
