Sol Turquesa Beach: Great Time
The resort was very clean no complaints about the room or staff. The room were big had a balcony and stocked with drinks as well as alcohol. The beach was great and also had a bar. The only downfall is the food, Cuba is not known for its food but Ive been to other resorts that have much more choice. There was not much entertainment but the staff was very friendly.
Riu Playa Blanca: Slightly disappointed
Although I had a great time in beautiful Panama, the Riu Playa Blanca resort did not meet my expectations. I have been told that the Riu resorts are the best; however, the only good service came from the activity people in red and white. Otherwise the service was inattentive and unorganized. I strongly believe this resort has yet to find a leader to direct the team successfully. The main concern was the smell of the room/pillows - when walking into the room it smelt moldy (in such humid weather [... read more]
Riu Palace Peninsula: Beautiful REsort
Resort is beautiful. I don't like that the toilet is separate from the sink and that you have to walk out and open and closed door and get to the sink, I think it is not hygenic. Also that the whirlpool tub is beside your bed.
Riu Negril: EXCELLENT RESORTS
The hotels ground was beautiful kept, the food very very good, the service was excellent, the location was very good the pool was very clean and also the room . The staff at the hotel made you feel at home, they go out of their way to made your stay comfortable
Riu Playa Blanca: Good for price
The hotel is not a 5 star hotel but it is a nice hotel. Very nice view, helpful people and good food at the buffet and the restaurants. Lots for young kids and adults to do not as much for teens, other than hanging on the beach. Hotel staff should become more versed on the activities to do outside of the hotel. New airport 10 min from hotel makes check out very easy.
Sol Turquesa Beach: Loved the resort
Very clean rooms , good food, lots to choose from the buffets, enjoyed the very friendly staff .The evening entertainment should be more Cuban oriented. Liked the idea of the market being on the grounds
Grand Memories Varadero: Best Vacation Ever !!!
My husband and I arrived Aug 9th and were booked in a superior room, however were immediately upgraded to a Junior Suite in the Deluxe Adults only section...OMG it was wonderful, our room was just lovely, and the private pool, restaurant, and bar were great !!! We did venture to the main buffet and found the food to be very good there as well as the service. The resort is very clean, pools were clean, and service was spectacular !!! Would go back again in a heart beat !!!
Riu Palace Pacifico: Great resort
Very clean, quiet resort with a helpful staff. Good food in both the buffet and the a la carte restaurants. Short cab ride to town but still far enough away to be secluded. I would highly recommend this resort over the Riu Vallarta or Riu Jalisco. Well worth the extra $$$.
Riu Palace Costa Rica: beautiful resort - but a couple of issues
The resort was beautiful, well maintained and the food was great. The only downside was that there were no washrooms located around the pools. The closest washroom was in the restaurant by the last pool and had a sign do not use when wet (not that anyone listened). A pool bar and no bathroom grosses me out a bit. Also if you are planning to go to the disco, be aware that it is not all inclusive and expect to pay $7/drink.
Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: not a pleasant experience
The hotel ground is kept clean. However this resort may.have a serious big rats infestation. The large rodents jump freely in the main lobby during day time and hit my daughter leg. We have been @ this resort three times with no plans to ever return again.
Riu Palace Mexico: Second and last time around
Unbearably damp room. Ugly new color scheme and bad bathroom design. Cheep and bad table wine, even in the specialty restaurants. It is not the resort it use to be, even in the service and the visiting crowd. Stay away.
Grand Memories Varadero: Another day in paradise!
This was my first trip to Cuba, and my friend with whom I was travelling had stayed at this Riu the year before and loved it. Our arrival was seamless: we were greeted outside the airport and bussed to the resort. After being trollied to our deluxe section lobby, where we were served complimentary drinks, we were brought to our massive suite, with a view of the pool. Staff were very kind, service was almost always fast, and at least quick during rush hours. I loved the food, the pool, lobby bar [... read more]
Riu Flamingos: Good time at Riu Jalisco
We had a wonderful vacation at Riu Jalisco. The initial room did not have an pleasant view and we requested a ocean view room which was given to us in the next day. Very nice pools, grounds, beach ; good evening shows and movies on the beach. Very good customer service, food and drinks as well. This is our fourth vacation in PV,and I recommend this resort.
Riu Playa Blanca: amazing resort
Top quality service bad amazing view. Would definitely recommend it. The pools were spacious the staff was helpful and honest. The bartenders were enthusiast and the night life was to die for. My favorite restaurant on the resort was the steakhouse.
Riu Ocho Rios: Beautifull, amazing resort
Resort very clean, good service ,staff is amazing, it I afar from the airport but the bus ride is beautifull, I sure would go back. Went to Dunn falls river was fun and beautifull, beach is wide and lots of chairs available
Riu Palace Paradise Island: Clean, Relaxing, great food
Great hotel, the staff are great. Extremely clean hotel, cleaning staff always cleaning. Rooms are big & clean. They do need more bartenders it took fair ever to get a drink. Beach is nice, cool, wavy, and tons of fish swimming by you. Don't rent the umbrellas on the beach, they do not belong to the hotel it's by locals and the charge $25 USD for one umbrella and 2 chairs just sit by the pool and walk down. Atlantis right beside you through the hotel to gamble and see the marina.
Riu Palace Aruba: Amazing honeymoon!!
The service was amazing! The food delicious! The resort and beach were super clean. Lovely spa:) nothing to complain about, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend it to anyone. Great vacation
Riu Emerald Bay: Wonderful resort-would definitely visit again!
The room was very clean!! The staff friendly and accommodating. A well maintained pool area. Great variety of food every day. There was a variety of entertainment the week we were there which was nice at night. Overall we were quite pleased with the Rio and would go back for sure. You can't beat the price we got it for.
Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas: Amazing resort.
The hotel was always spotless including the bathrooms. The food was amazing and there was always plenty to eat. The entertainment staff was great, very friendly and always smiling. The service was great at this hotel. A very pleasant experience. This was my first time staying at a Riu and it was simply beautiful. The only downfall is the beach, you couldn't really go for walks on it but the pools made up for it.
Riu Palace Paradise Island: Great Time
Food was excellent, our room was good. The resort was clean and the beach excellent. Right next to Atlantis which was good. Were able to go the Aquarium easily. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
