Riu Guanacaste: Great family resort

Just spent a week at the Riu Guanacaste and had a fabulous time. We had adjoining rooms which worked out great for us. Balcony was a good size. Bathroom finishes were a little dated but the room was large and clean. The staff were very attentive and polite. The grounds are beautiful! A little walk along the trees by the beach is teaming with wildlife...crabs, iguanas, lizards, birds and monkeys. A great place for families to spend time together and reconnect!

Riu Palace Baja California: Great Vacation

Clean resort, amazing room and food was good with alot of choices. Nice to go to the waterpark slides and parties at the other Riu hotels. Also Adults Only Hotel. City is nice to see and water taxi to see the El Arco and beaches. Great weather in June

Riu Palace Mexico: Love! Love! Love!

We stayed in this resort June 18-25, 2019. The weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. The beach was fabulous and very relaxing. Even though there was some seaweed and the shore wasn't always pristine, we noticed workers constantly cleaning and working hard to keep the beach clean. The food was delicious and seemed as if it was made out of the highest quality ingredients. However, the most enjoyable part of every meal was admiring the presentation of the food, and every single deco [... read more]rative piece in the restaurants. The front lobby staff were all very accommodating and helpful. They answered all of our questions, gave us excellent suggestions, and overall made our experience flawless. The rooms were always clean - we loved the special touch of leaving little chocolates and folding our towels after every cleaning. All personnel were very helpful and overall we had a wonderful time. This is our second time staying at a Riu resort, and we would recommend it to everyone!

Riu Palace Antillas: We had a blast!!

We went away from June 17th to June 24th. The weather was beautiful (hot and windy). The resort was slightly outdated compared to the family side of the Riu. As I was told it was previously a Best Western Resort but we didn’t mind. The food was delicious including the buffet. The people were super friendly and accommodating. I would go back to Aruba and this resort in a heartbeat. I loved the fact that you can leave the resort and feel safe. There is restaurants and shops that were walking di [... read more]stance outside the resort.

Riu Guanacaste: Warm, Friendly Resort

The beach was really nice and clean. I especially liked how close everything is, the rooms are close to the beach and dining areas. The staff is warm and welcoming, the hotel is beautiful and the excursion was amazing!

Riu Santa Fe: Fun Place To Stay

The staff were quite friendly. Good selection of food and alcohol. The beds were comfortable and the room spacious with a decent little balcony. Overall I'd recommend it to almost anyone. There are a few parties that go on in the evenings too so keep that in mind.

Riu Bambu: Amazing Resort

Pros: - Amazing Resort - Resort and rooms are clean and well kept - Lots of lounge chairs at beach and pool - Good selection of food and drink Cons: - Lots of weeds on the beach - No huts at beach for shade - Coffee machines around resorts kept breaking down

Riu Palace Aruba: Not worth the money we paid

I think Aruba is beautiful but I didn't not think the resort was a 5 star at all. We had major problems when we checked in. We were there 2 weeks and the first week we had to call everyday to have housekeeping come and bring us towels so we can take a shower. They also didn't fill the fridge with water, we had to keep asking. There was always sand all over the floor because they didn't come to clean. We assumed they would show up everyday to clean but that wasn't the case. When my husband  [... read more]finally had enough and called the manager to complain then it got better. So on the second week they came to clean the room everyday. Another thing that was really disappointing was that during the 2 weeks we were there we didn't see anybody cleaning the beach. We saw someone picking up the empty plastic cups from the palapas but he would never go clean the cups and garbage that was laying on the sand and in the water. Because it's so windy in Aruba, you would think they would be more diligent with cleaning the beach. The one day my daughter and I were cleaning it up ourselves. We picked up a bunch of cups, a garbage bag that stuck under some sand in the water and a juice box. The one day I slipped on the sidewalk while going for a walk to the Riu for adults only. I tripped and fell and scraped my knee and all the way down my leg, I had quite a bit of blood running down my legs and my husband suggested walking back to our room because it was closer than going to the lobby. So we did, and my husband called front desk and asked if someone could come to our room with a first aid kit. They said they couldn't and that I'd have to walk to the front desk and someone would help me. I was extremely upset considering I was in allot of pain. When I got there they told us they didn't have a first aid room and would do what they needed to do in the lobby. Sure enough they started pouring rubbing alcohol down my leg while people were standing around and I had to try my hardest to not make allot of noise even though it hurt like hell. There were some other things that it's just too long to explain. Overall, we liked Aruba and how safe we felt walking around. The beaches are beautiful. We went to Palm Island for one day and it was awesome but if I went back I would not stay at the Riu. We're also non smokers and they allow smoking in the casino, all around the pool and even on the beach. It was disgusting. We paid allot of money for this trip and it wasn't worth what we paid. I really wish we would have picked a different destination.

Riu Palace Baja California: Great Resort - Not Sure About Housekeeping

I really don't want our incident to persuade my review of the resort, but I know that I depend a lot on the reviews of other that have been to the resort when searching for my next destination so here goes. The RIU resort itself was amazing. It's fairly new so the rooms were very nice though I feel housekeeping could have done a better job when it came to the cleanliness of the room i.e. replacing used towels, soap and sweeping the floor. Overall, the food was good and the fact that you didn't h [... read more]ave to make reservations for any of the restaurants was awesome. We felt the pool areas could've been kept up better. We were there during Cabo Fest which made the resort incredibly busy, but it appeared nobody worked during the evenings once everyone was in their rooms. Given where our room was located, I believe my bikini bottoms were stolen from our balcony which is heartbreaking. I only wore them once and they were Michael Kors, so not cheap. I immediately reported the incident and the hotel manager was able to confirm that housekeeping was in our room during the time I suspected them to go missing. Unfortunately nothing was found and the hotel wasn't able to compensate me so I've filed an official report with CMS RIU and I'm still waiting to hear back. I really hope they compensate me another bottom. Really it's the principal of the whole situation and it's disheartening when I work so hard and then go on a vacation and have to worry about locking everything up. The safes aren't big enough to put my suitcase in. This was an unfortunate event as everything else with the resort was great. The gym was small, but all the equipment was new, and I know for a fact that it was mopped every morning as we were there at 6am when the cleaning lady was there. All in all we enjoyed our stay, but unfortunately the fact that an item was stolen from our balcony makes me sad.

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: One of the best resorts in Cancún

Riu Negril: Family friendly

It was beautiful, the dancers were amazing and the entertainment was plentiful. The food was amazing and had lots of choice for allergy suffers like my son. The only issue i had was with the day staff not cleaning the room, i had three kids and a few clothes on the floor. She took the tips and tried to skip my room like she had done the days before even though we needed toiletries and bedding to be replaced. She was rude to my kids and myself and huffed and puffed while she added new sheets whic [... read more]h smelled bad and didn't replace the cover. My baby was ill and needed a nap so we covered the whole bed with towels to mask it. Other than her (other maids/staff were very kind) it was amazing and the excursions and entertainment were great ( bit pricey). i also reccomend the massages : ) it was gorgeous and really felt like paradise.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Not the Best

This was an amazing trip, I cannot wait to come back!

Riu Guanacaste: Love this resort even more the second time around

This resort is amazing! So clean. The garden is beautiful the scenery is gorgeous and the people were so friendly. I went with my mom who uses a Walker to get around and the staff took the time to help her when needed. I would definitely go back a third time. Maybe to get married

Riu Guanacaste: Wonderful stay at Riu Guanacaste!

Riu Guanacaste is surrounded by beautiful mountains and lush forest. The beach is breath taking. All the area of the hotel is extremely clean and well kept. The grounds are amazing and well manicured. Dinning areas are also well looked after. Very tasty food and good selection of fruit and vegetable. Service in the dinning rooms are excellent. The staff in all the areas are friendly, courteous, eager to help with a smile. The negative is the pillows are uncomfortable and the bath ro [... read more]om is bit worn. We had a wonderful time at this Hotel. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Riu Santa Fe: good and the bad

well I had read a bunch of reviews before booking the good and the bad .. people were right that the place is beautiful and kept as clean as possible ..the pools were good there are some for every one and the water slide park was pretty cool.. check in was simple . The booze is cheap and gross gotta tip well and ask for some better stuff .. It is a party resort .. i would suggest for families to stay at the palace next door .. the food was absolutley nothing to brag about ..
