Few things that were notable. # 1 - not enough bathrooms in and around the vicinity of the pool area. # 2 - adults only but only playing music on the more rowdy side of the establishment. Younger adults. We as older adults still enjoy the music but there was none. Even when we brought down our speaker we were told to turn it off by some 19 yr old boy. Allow music, put a more mature person in the security to work with the adults. # 3 - food was fantastic and options there is a plenty. # 4 - coffee bar at the front is amazing, could probably use a little upgrade and have more people attending. # 5 - would recommend

This is an adults only resort,so its calm and quiet and very clean. Rooms are large and very comfortable. Good quality linens. Rooms are well insulated and quiet. Food service is amazing. The daily buffets are plentiful,and food selections are unbelievable. Meats, vegetarian options, salads and desserts were all beautifully desplayed. Other restaurants on site served excellent dishes and desserts,as well. I highly recommend this resort for adults seeking a quiet and restful escape.

Love the RIU. 2nd stay there. The staff is so friendly. Love the beach just feet from leaving the nice rooms. Lobby bar always a fun hang. Bartenders and everyone working there are the best people. Food options are great. Love everything about the RIU. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try an all-inclusive resort. My only advice is, be kind and don't be cheap with your servers! A couple of bucks goes a long way.
