Riu Ocho Rios: awesome trip

Great place to stay. Food was good and a plenty all hours of the day and night. Beer could have been colder good variety of girly drinks that were cold and slushy. Alacart was very good. Highly recommended resort. Would definitely go back.

Riu Guanacaste: Very Good

This resort hotel is well built, clean with good dining and good service. The beach is good for swimming at the western side. Excursion agents available on site and currency exchange at front desk. Reservations for a la carte restaurants is problematic as after long waiting line one is told they are all filled up.

Riu Palace Costa Rica: Azaming Place & Experience!

The whole experience was amazing..... the rooms where very nice and couldn't have been cleaner, the staff was amazing top to bottom and very friendly, the food it was all great with lots of variety so something for everyone. There was always something to do if you wanted or just relaxing by the ocean or pools was perfect. We had a blast and would fully recommend the RIU! It was first class!!

Riu Ocho Rios: Amazing resort !

Over all the best resort Ive been to so far. Could not ask for any better with food, cleanliness and staff. Beach and pool areas were clean and well organized with activities for all ages, Nightly enteryainment was also fantastic !

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Was enough for 4 nights

Food was good. Beds need to be updated, very uncomfortable. Service was sometimes poor. Small resort with only one pool that doesn't see the sun until late in the afternoon. The resort did not have enough umbrellas, people had to go early as 7 am to book an umbrella. Did not have a chance to try the A La Carte Dinner as they were fully booked by the time we arrived to the resort, although we saw a lot of empty seats during dinner.

Riu Flamingos: Super easy and fun vacation :)

It was such a relief not to haggle with taxi drivers at the airport. Trip central's site referred us to a sun wing vacation that was with us every bit of the way, and gave us free transfers to the airport. The resort was very nice and felt super luxurious. There were many locals, but I didn't find that it affected our trip at all. Meal times can be a bit hectic, but for the most part we avoid peak times anyway. My boyfriend and I had a really nice time :)

Riu Tequila: Wonderful Vacation

We stayed at the Riu Tequila May 9th to 16th. My husband and I travelled with out 15 and 19 year old children. I must say that the resort exceeded our expectations on many levels. I was worried there may not be enough activities for the teenagers to do, but the entertainment throughout the day kept them busy. The entertainment staff should get a huge pat on the back for their knack at engaging everyone in the activities. They played a huge part in making our trip memorable. The food was excellen [... read more]t. We never got tired of it because there was so much variety. The list goes on of everything we enjoyed. Riu Tequila has it all figured out and we will definitely be back some day!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Terrific Location

lush grounds, cleaner rooms, energetic and polite personnel, delicious dining, people flocked to the rocky part of the beach, enjoyed the nonstop activities on the pool, and of course gazed at the beautiful surrounding hills. Also had a private cable car excursion, visited E&F mountain park, market, castle, museum ..etc All for a very reasonable price ,Sure, it is one of the places I would return to.

Riu Guanacaste: beautiful loved it

beautiful grounds, tasty food. relaxing, clean clean clean. always cleaning. lovely nature sounds with plenty to see and do. wonderful people, great staff aim to please. close to the airport , natural beauty

Riu Palace Paradise Island: The Best Location

This hotel is always great! It's in the best location, and provides easy access to all Atlantis amenities. We enjoyed the food and drinks, free WIFI, and the cleanliness of the resort. All the staff are very friendly

Riu Santa Fe: Waste of $ and bad overall trip

Too many out of control college kids partying and fighting! Asked to upgrade and did not get any support! Very disappointed in this Riu which surprised me. I usually love riu resorts and have stayed in many previously! Would never go back.

Riu Flamingos: absolutely beautiful

This hotel is gorgeous ,the grounds ,the food, the beach.the people.The staff are great. The only recommendation from me would be an adult only time in the pool with the swim up bar.we went to the other pool with the slides instead.

Riu Negril: A definite 'must' visit destination!

I have traveled to many tropical locations over the past 20 years (various countries). Riu Negril is for sure one of the nicest I've been to. Clean, friendly staff, great food, lots to do...PERFECT!!!

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Amazing resort

The grounds of the hotel beautiful and clean, the public areas enough for every body, the staff are professional, dining areas nicely decorated and comfortable, meal is very good, features attractive and interesting.

Riu Palace Antillas: All inclusive resort at its best

Great location on palm beach. Pristine lawns and white powdery sand beach. Nothing else but sand; no sea shells nor seaweeds. It's unbelievable. You can run barefooted without worrying about hurting your feet. Best buffet I have ever encounter. Succulent duck, filet mignon, beef wellington among hundreds of other delectable offerings. Close to shopping and entertainment district. You can feel the energy and excitement. No rain; just gorgeous weather

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Fantastic Trip

I deal wit Tammy Beamish and after being disappointed with the accommodations I arrange without her input last year , this year it was fabulous. I had requested an oceanview for our romm and boy did she come through with flying colours We looked out over the point for a majestic view of the ocean and with wide panoramic view of the beach and the ocean and the beautiful sunsets The Riu Bachata was as anticipated for the chain with first class accommodations and service for the entire stay. I woul [... read more]d recommend the resort to any one wishing to go to Puerta Plata.

Riu Santa Fe: Just as fun the second time around

I have never gone back to the same resort before but 2nd time here. 3rd time for my daughters. Great resort. Love walking into Los Cobos and walking around the town. Went on a glass-bottom boat tour that was worth ever penny! The one downside of this resort is - it is very dangerous to swim in the ocean. Pool swimming only I would recommend.

Sol Turquesa Beach: Interesting experience

7 days at the beginning of April - excellent weather, very nice resort. The room (in the 100 section) needs improvements. Good meal if you know what to ask for (real yogurt, real chicken, lamb, rabbit, etc.). I would not recommend a-la-carte restaurants. Don't miss the "cafe concerts" shows every evening in the lobby bar! Overall a very nice experience.

Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Second stay in two years and we will go back!

We once again took our four kids, staff are very hard working and try to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, extremely clean resort. Great beach but not swimmable waves and under tow too large but great pictures.

Riu Flamingos: Best service we have ever been treated to!

The smiling faces of the workers and the inspiring activity group greeted us each day as we dined at the buffet and beach. We returned to a clean room and abundant supply of towels. Always your pick of lounges on the beach and activities galore. The buffet was fantastic with changes in the menu every day. Bar service was quick and extremely friendly. What a trip!
