Riu Republica: The best resort I have ever been to

This was the best resort that I have ever been to. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. The grounds were always clean The rooms were great and the staff was wonderful. They always had something to do

Riu Reggae: Amazing resort

I have zero complaints about my trip. It was my first time in Jamaica and would definitely go back. The people at the resort were super friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent, especially the jerk chicken! The rooms were nice. The hotel was nice and modern. Beach was great. Pools were nice, good times at the swim up bars.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Beautiful escape

Stayed at the Riu March 18-22. Great time of the year. Perfect weather! Loved this resort - beautifully renovated. Had a room on the 11th floor - beautiful view of Atlantis and Ocean. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable. Balconies are small but have great views. Food was good. Drinks were good. Resort is very small, but you can walk the beach. Steps from the Atlantis Casino. I went with a group of girlfriends -4 in total - 28-32 years old. Resort has no nightlife after the evening [... read more] show. The bar is open 24 hours, but no one was in it. Perhaps better on a weekend? The sand/beach was amazing - would go back for this on a trip where i want to relax. Pool is small but keeps people talking to each other. Service was satisfactory.

Riu Santa Fe: Funtastic Resort!

We are a 60 year couple that loved this amazing resort. There was so much to see and do there. The entertainment staff kept us laughing with the hilarious games, dancing to their fabulous tunes and excercising with the inspiring water arobics coaching! Even the nighttime shows were wonderful. Everyone is so talented and work so hard to keep the guests happy. Now I must mention the pool parties!! I felt like I was in Vegas. This hotel goes all out to make sure their guests are having a fabulou [... read more]s time. It was party time for young and old alike. The hotel grounds are beautiful, and everything is so pristine and clean. Even the public washrooms were fresh and clean all the time. The only downfall is the beach. Although it is beautiful, it is too rough to swim in. Also, it is hard to even walk along the shoreline due to the slope and angry waves! Loved it here and would love to return again with a large group to party like we were young again!

Riu Montego Bay: Nice resort

Cleaning at the hotel was perfect.. Really nice and friendly staff Really good food but.. Beach shore is to small and water full of seaweeds .,......................................................

Riu Palace Costa Rica: Amazing Resort

The resort is beautiful, food was great and it was very clean. Except when it rains, there are lots of bugs and insects. There should be more trees by the beach as it is extremely hot. When it rains, you cannot get to the Steakhouse as it is closer to the beach and the rain is extremely heavy and rains almost everyday.

Riu Bambu: Very nice resort

I went with my 10 year old daughter, the resort entrance is very nice and welcoming and the front line staff are very helpful. The rooms are amazing, clean and spacious. This is a nice place to go for a family vacation or with a group, whatever your preferences are, there is lots to do everyday, the food was okay, they have several options.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Excellent value for money

After a week spent at Riu Palace on Paradise Island Bahamas, we left the hotel with a definitive plan to come back. The room was generous in space, nicely furnished and the stocked fridge with beer and sodas made some difference. Meals were always fresh and enticing, something for even the most discriminate customers. All staff provided good service and tried to connect with people in order to meet their needs all day long. Full mark for the hotel management. Being placed in the proximity of At [... read more]lantis resort, we benefited of a quick visit of Atlantis park and aquarium, which is a must for any traveler visiting Bahamas.

Riu Republica: Incredible Resort!!!

The hotel grounds, pools, restaurants, beach, entertainment and staff were amazing! We had a fabulous time and would definitely recommend to all! Not one thing to complain about!! 5 stars all around *****

Riu Santa Fe: A wonderful stay!

The Riu Santa Fe is the fourth Riu hotel we have stayed at. and it did not disappoint. The hotel was beautiful and comfortable, the pools incredible, the food first class and the service staff friendly and helpful. This was the first time we came with a young child and my only comments about this particular experience is that the noise level from music, loud speakers and loud drinking partygoers was non stop. We were lucky enough to be housed in a building a little off the beaten track but the [... read more]re were many times that our rest/sleep was interrupted by loud music ( pool parties)and voices of guests who had had considerable amounts of liquor to drink. While I appreciate the fact that we all come to an all-inclusive for different reasons, partying and hollering in the corridors at 4:30 a.m spoils the holiday for the rest of us.. Perhaps placing families with babies and young children in parts of the hotel as far from the high noise level areas as possible could keep everyone happy. I will definitely return to another Riu in Mexico, but I will check first to avoid the ones the are well known as 'party hotels'.

Riu Palace Costa Rica: Great Week At Riu Palace

We had a fantastic time with our family of 5. Don't worry about the weather forecast, as we were supposed to get thunderstorms every day but only had a few hours of rain for the whole week. Enjoy - Pura Vida!

Riu Republica: Awesome time!

Everything at this resort was amazing! The rooms, staff, pools, restaurants, bars, the beach! I can’t really think of any negatives I experienced. The nightly shows were also very well done and interactive! I would definitely return.

Riu Republica: Good resort

Nice beach, good setup, more shade needed, ok food, better at buffets, slow service. Good facility. Good entertainment. Everything within short distance. Good water slides, nice foam parties and beach parties.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: You can't beat the view!!

We stayed for a week with family (May 13th) and had a lovely time. The resort grounds and view are breathtaking. This is our 2nd time staying at the Riu Palace in Cabo - last time was 10 years ago. The rooms/bathrooms have been renovated and are really nice with firm but comfortable beds and a beautiful bathroom. Only complaint is that the bed only came with a bit of a sheet. We had to pull a blanket from the closet and put that on. Room/bathroom were always super clean with the cleaning s [... read more]ervice getting in and out without us ever seeing them. Fridge was always fully stocked as well as towels, facecloths, etc. This is not a resort for people with mobility issues. Lots of walking and lots of stairs. Takes several sets of stairs up and down again just to get from one pool to the other to get a towel. Service at all bars and restaurants was great. Always super friendly and helpful. However, any complicated drinks (including a margarita) were not always done well or the same way. They use some sort of super sweet lime syrup for the margaritas so when we could get a bartender alone and not busy we would ask for them to make it with fresh limes instead. Not sure why they just don't have big jugs of lime juice instead of what tasted to be pre-made. The resort has a huge buffet for all three meals. Probably the best buffet choices of all the resorts we've stayed at. Food was pretty good. We tried all of the a la carte restaurants. Kristal was our favourite as was the Japanese. The rest not so great and because there are only a few meal choices on any of the menus it was hard to go back to the same place more than once. Also note that by no fault of the hotel, there's no swimming on the beach in front of the resort. Its too rough. However, you can walk for a few minutes down the beach to a spot thats a bit calmer. You can also walk into town on the beach.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Such an Awesome Time!!

We were extremely impressed with the Riu Palace. We travel to a lot of All Inclusive resorts and this one is by far the best. The grounds were immaculate, the resort is very clean and well taken care of down to the very last detail, such as how the dining chairs were positioned at the main buffet restaurant. The food was amazing at the dinner buffet, the top sirloin roasts were my favourite, they also had a turkey dinner one night. All of the food at dinner was delicious, and my husband is v [... read more]ery picky about food when we go away. We only went to one a la carte, the Steakhouse, it wasn't very good. We decided to eat the rest of our dinners at the buffet because it was so good. You have to sit in Rodimiro's section, he's the best waiter! The pools were large and clean, you could always find a place to sit, not sure if it was the time of year we went but the resort never seemed over crowded and there was pretty much never a line up for anything. The servers around the pool were amazing also, also asking if you need another drink of something. The infinity pools were awesome, you could look right out onto the ocean. While we were there the waves were intense, I'd say close to 15 ft. It was amazing to see. The Beach is beautiful. We had a red flag the entire time but that was ok with us, because watching the waves come in was mesmerizing. If you walked down the beach a little toward Cabo San Lucas you would swim. The water temperature was nice. Our room was super clean, we had one of the rooms with the pool and I highly recommend it. It was nice to just chill at our room and not have to go to the main pools to cool off. The only thing that I didn't really like was that everything shuts down at midnight, or close to it. It didn't bother us every night because some nights you are exhausted anyway, but other nights you want to stay up and enjoy yourself. Both the Santa Fe and the Palace shut everything down around that time. There are A LOT of stairs, which we didn't mind but if you are older or weren't into doing stairs then this might not be the resort for you, check out the Santa Fe, it was more flat. I enjoyed the multi levels however, because the view from the lobby was outstanding. I would highly recommend this resort and we will be back, which says a lot since we don't do repeat visits to resorts.

Riu Lupita: Great Resort!!

If you’re looking for a relaxing but yet exciting resort this is it. It’s every bit laid back but if you want games and entertainment....they have it! Rooms were always clean and any requests were quickly delt with. The beach is a 15min bus ride but it flies by and there’s a stop at la 5ta Avenida which is a nice change of scenery. So pool beach and shopping all close by! The bar is opened 24/7 and they are fast and efficient. Their margaritas, mango daiquiris and piña coladas are to die  [... read more]for!! Entertainment was so much fun and shows are well done and disco every night! Loved it! As for food, no complaints. There was always something for everyone and the Mexican food was delicious. My group of 7 had a splendid time!

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: great place

Riu Palace in Cabos was a great place spotless rooms grounds and restaurants. the rec staff pool side are all great a special shout out to Edgar Orteiz he is rec manager material.View from the coffee shop terrace is worth the trip.

Riu Vallarta: Plesantly surprised :)

This hotel ended up surprising me. The activities for the kids, nightly shows, clean pool, good food and great hospitality made the iffy reviews I read not mean anything. More importantly was all the help I received from my agent putting this trip together for our whole family (6 of us). Not an easy feat when you're dealing with a very particular client. Hats off to Trip central and Cindy!

Riu Republica: Party Resort

This was definitely a very fun resort. We had a great time, the waterslides were awesome and the party pool (across from the slides) was a great time. For an all-inclusive the food was ok. Nothing amazing, but there were always lots of options at the buffets which is great. Down side, we arrived at 11pm, and the only food available was at the sports bar. It included nacho chips and cheese sauce, hot dogs, and pre-made hamburgers stored in a fridge available to be microwaved. This was great when  [... read more]we had been drinking all night, but quite the buzzkill after a day of travelling. The grounds were nice and the resort is very clean. The beach is not the greatest but the pools make up for it! Overall I would recommend this resort to a group of young people looking to have a good time. There is no shortage of that! If you are looking for something a bit classier and relaxing, I'd steer clear.

Riu Flamingos: Week of Fun

This is my second time to Puerto Vallarta. Last time we stayed at the RIU Vallarta and this time at RIU Jalisco. We had a wonderful time. Check in was fast and easy. Front counter staff were very helpful and polite. (Poala - she was amazing!!) Our room was very nice and clean. Cleaning staff were great. Everyone treated us kindly. The beach is beautiful and we swam in it every day. The whole experience was wonderful. Would definitely go back.
