Great place. Large hotel with a very nice outdoor patio and indoor bar. The AC in our room was noisy on and off. Facilities said they could do nothing about it. The gym was small, but adequate.

This is a huge hotel with the famous Riu skywalk and terrace open to the public, so it gets crowded. There is sometime a wait for the elevators. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautiful. Hallways are a bit dark, would have preferred brighter lighting. Breakfast is delicious! Not sure i would stay here again, not because there is anything wrong with the hotel, i just prefer something a little smaller and open to hotel guests only. Overall, wonderful experience!
