Riu Santa Fe: Great Resort

The Resort was clean and easy to get around ,No problem finding fresh food ,lots of fruits. I would recommend this resort to anyone . Party central for sure ,so not as much for young children to do ,Easy to get into the downtown area for a walk around and 15 min down the beach is an area that you can swim .

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: What a wonderful vacation

Riu Palace Tropical Bay is a great resort. Our room was spacious, our bed was comfortable and the maids did an excellent job with the cleaning. The beach was sandy and clean. Food was very well presented with great selections. The grounds and pool area were kept neat and clean. We really enjoyed interacting with the staff who were always ready to please. Overall...a wonderful vacation spot.

Riu Santa Fe: Good Hotel if you want to party

Enjoyed my stay here, however if you are looking for quiet this is not the best pick. Perfect for if you want to party and a place to rest your head at night. The food and views were really good. Lots of variety. Hotel is close to downtown, $14 USD unless there are more people in the cab.

Riu Ocho Rios: Excellent Resort

Everything about the resort was great. The food was excellent and the quality of the food was great. You get a different variety of food buffets so you don't get tired of the same food, it gives you plenty of options to keep you satisfied. The entertainment was excellent, there were planned activities every day to keep you busy and to ensure that you have the best time while on the resort. As well, the room service was perfect, everyday they made sure that your room was clean and the bar re-stoc [... read more]ked. No complains about the resort / hotel, I look forward to coming back again sometime in the future.

Riu Lupita: Hidden Gem! Highly Highly Highly Recommended!

The hotel was wonderful, clean, the food was excellent. There was tons of variety to try out every night, and the restaurants were great. The steakhouse was especially delicious, as well as the Italian bistro and the Mexican restaurant. The buffet was amazing and the food was always fresh and delicious. The rooms were cleaned daily and restocked every second day. The entertainment crew were awesome and did well to entertain everyone nightly. The bar staff was awesome as well and they always prov [... read more]ided a variety of drinks. I highly recommend this hotel. We stayed for 2 weeks and easily could've stayed for another week. It is very close to Playa Del Carmen 5th avenue and although it wasn't a beachfront resort, the shuttle runs every half an hour from morning to evening, and its very short (5 minutes) and even stops by the entrance to 5th avenue Playa del Carmen. Excellent vacation. 5 Stars!

Riu Merengue: You get what you pay for!!

Ok lets start from the beginning and work our way to the end. First off the check in was easy and the hotel was able to accommodate our room request for a room on the ground floor and close to most hotel amenities. The room had a slight musty smell, but it was not that bad and my wife and I got over it real fast. The beds were a bit lumpy but we were able to sleep on them. I found one cock roach on day 2 of the vacation in the room which soon became fast friends with the business end o [... read more]f a sandal. ( I kept my eyes open for the remainder of the stay and did not find anymore, nor did I tell my wife until we returned home!!) The grounds are nice and the staff were constantly working and seemed very happy. The beach was fair but the sand fleas were very active and fell in love with my legs.( still itchy as heck ) Lots of lounge chairs at pool and at beach. The food was not as good as I was expecting for a 4 or 4.5 star depending on the site you looked at. I was able to usually find one or 2 items each meal that was not that bad. For the a la cartes we went to the Steak House and that was disappointing. My steak was to be a medium well and it was well done and tough as old heck. The bars were clean and the drinks were not that bad. The bartenders were very friendly and service was excellent. The maid service was excellent as well and no complaints can I make about that. The on site activities were the norm for the Dominican. The team were friendly and approachable. Check out was as easy and painless as the check in process which was nice. Overall it was not the worst experience of my life, but I would not return to this resort.

Riu Reggae: Riu reggae

Just returned from a week at riu reggae the property is a newer property so it was very clean and more modern in appearance. Can't say enough about the very friendly staff, they were very helpful if needed as well. Throughly enjoyed the food and a very nice variety for everyone. There was no problem finding a beach lounger as there was plenty to go around. The beach was clean but small for walking. Other than that the vacation was a good one and I would recommend this hotel.

Riu Republica: Rui Republica trip

We were very pleased with our trip to Rui Republica. Rooms were nice, grounds were beautiful & well kept, pool areas were clean & maintained. Enjoyed the activities & shows, staff were curious & helpful.

Riu Tequila: Awsome resort

This hotel is great! The resort is very clean. It has nice rooms that are cleaned everyday and towels,sheets and drinks replenished everyday. It has yummy food to cather to all. The beach and grounds are beautiful. The service staff is always working hard to make your visit memorable.

Riu Montego Bay: Overall a good resort

The grounds and resort layout are great. Food is excellent. Rooms need a refresh and room keys are a problem. Staff very friendly and engaging. Nice beach. Front desk very responsive as was housekeeping.

Riu Ocho Rios: Great Resort

There was only three things I didn't like about this resort.. rooms were very musty smelling and the entertainment wasn't great and some bar staff weren't friendly..the beach and grounds are beautiful, food was great

Riu Flamingos: Good resort

Beautiful grounds. Resort, main area were up to date rooms had mold in the bathrooms and shower, lots of locals Main pool is small for the size of the resort. for the price it was great. alacart restraints were first come first serve, deffenetly helpes if you speak the language. Stake house was good. would go back for the price.

Riu Reggae: Great Resort, Problematic Vacation

The Riu Reggae was great. Although the first three days of our trip was a headache and problematic, the Riu Reggae was enjoyable. The Beach was clean, the resort was clean, the staff was friendly and very efficient. My parents are Jamaican Born so I was able to really compare the resort food with the food made from my parents and it was quote comparable. The only thing I would improve on is the entertainment as it was not entertaining at all in my opinion.

Riu Merengue: Nice Resort poor service.

It was fair. The food was better than when we visited in 2012. We thought the service was lacking this time. Also we found a huge cockroach in our room our third night as well in the public washrooms I saw them running around.

Riu Playa Blanca: So glad we decided on Panama!

The Riu Playa Blanca Panama was an amazing resort! So peaceful and beautiful. Very well maintained resort with amazing food! Bartenders were all very friendly and always on the ball. Beach was spectacular! The beautiful black and white sand sparkled in the neverending sunlight. Accommodations were great. Hotel design and decor was fabulous! Some room for improvement with a la carte restaurants. Felt more like additional buffet restaurants instead. Would have also been nice to have washroom facil [... read more]ities closer to the beach. Bar service on the beach would be a welcome addition. All in all, would recommend this resort to anyone.

Riu Palace Antillas: Perfect Honeymoon

The Riu Palace Antillas was absolutely fantastic. The hotel was modern and clean. We always ate at the buffet as the selection of food was phenomenal and provided vegetarian options. The grounds were clean and staff took pride in providing excellent customer service. We spent most of our time on the beach and swimming in the ocean. The white sand and turquoise water were breathtaking. We were very happy with the entire process, from booking to coming back home and everything in between. Would lo [... read more]ve to one day return to this fantastic hotel.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Fabulous experience

This resort is immaculately maintained with beautiful decor and grounds. The staff are universally friendly and efficient. The food is excellent, with plenty of choices of venues. The breakfast buffet alone is worth spending time here. There always enough lounge chairs by the pools. It's hard to find a negative, except maybe the really loud entertainment - you can't get far enough away to enjoy the show without being deafened.

Riu Flamingos: Great Resort

We had a wonderful vacation in mexico. The resort wad amazing and very family friendly. Only disappointment was the fountain did not work. My wife wanted pictures with it. The beach was not all that great,however it had great sunset. The kids had lots of fun in the pools. Our room was always clean and the staff was very helpfull. We would come back to this resort again. Overall 4 stars from us.thanks tripcentral.

Riu Merengue: Enjoy this resort

We enjoyed this resort for it's beautiful landscaping and long palm tree covered beach. No shortage of good selections at the buffets. Love the architectural detailing on the public buildings (lobbies, bars etc). Disappointed that the Merengue bar painted over it's original yellow details with all white, but still pretty. Improvements could be made by upgrading the room and safe keys, and more importantly - there are not enough pools, especially in Merengue section!

Riu Flamingos: Peurto Vallarta gem resort!

We stayed a week in April 2017 and had an awesome time! Our whole family travelled there with 2 teenagers and my husband and I. there was lots to do for all of us. Beach is very wavy- which we liked. we enjoyed jumping the big waves but for younger or weak swimmers- it might not be the best. Food was excellent and lots of variety. I loved that there was a lot of fresh fruit and veggies. Room was good with a balcony. But no tub- not an issue for us. I would go back again. See you next year!
