Riu Palace Pacifico: 4th time here should say it all !!

Like the "smaller feel" to this particular RIU We have been to this property 4 times now and have enjoyed each visit. The rooms are comfortable and clean, the food is better than average and the Mexican and Japanese fine dining restaurants were our favorite.

Riu Flamingos: Great facility, ocean not so.

Very good, organized, clean, professional staff, great food... , Ocean had waves all the time with a lot of seaweed, unfortunately. Beach should have more shaded areas, $10/day for umbrella is extra expense people don't need.

Riu Palace Punta Cana: good resort but could easily be amazing!

Im writing on behalf of my parents and basing this review on everything they told me. The biggest concern was the elevator was broken, so if you stayed on the last floor...good luck. Everything else was what you paid for, it is what you make it. Also it seemed like a big party place.

Riu Palace Macao: Fantastic stay at the Riu Palace Macao

My husband and I recently stayed at the Riu Palace Macao and had a wonderful vacation. The people were all very friendly and there to meet all your needs. Food selection was plenty, well presented and very tasty! Beach is wonderful and the property was well maintained. Our room was clean and refreshments restocked daily. Would definitely recommend this hotel, you will not be disappointed!

Riu Merengue: Great place for a vacation

Lovely grounds, nice room, good meals, relaxing place to vacation. Especially enjoyed the beach. Didn't use the entertainment feature, but did do the safari which was educational. Weather was great during our stay.

Senator Puerto Plata Hotel: Very impressed with Riu Bachata

This was a last minute holilday with the girls, and we paid around $1000 expecting mediocre accomodations but it turned out to be one of the nicest places I'd been to. The food was good, beach was beautiful, and hotel rooms clean and large. The atmosphere was fun, friendly yet relaxing at the same time. Will definitely go back.

Grand Memories Varadero: a very bad resort

It is a 3 star but they sell it for 5 star , they dont clean the rooms evryday and when you ask for it they say we send some one and they do not com , they serve drinks in the msin loby in plastic cups and when you complain they tell you thst they don't have clean glases !!!! A totel disappointment and after 2 days we had to move to another hotel .

Riu Palace Aruba: Amazing!!

Hotel was clean, food excellent, check in was organized, in the evenings walking to town was safe and easy, lots to do. After reading some reviews we were questioning our choice on this hotel, but we (there were 4 adults in our group) all said we would recommend this hotel. We have all travelled to many islands, cruises and Europe. One day the beach was very windy, otherwise we sat everyday on the beach.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Very Nice

We enjoyed our stay at the Riu, location was great as it is right beside Atlantis so walking distance for evening walks. No shortage of food with all of variety, everything was very tasty. Rooms and Lobby were very clean. Bed was very comfortable

Riu Guanacaste: Yes it is a wonderful resort, I would stay there a

Example: What did you think about  this hotel? (grounds, public areas, rooms, dining, features, etc.) Grounds were very well kept, people were very helpful and friendly,everything was clean and upto par. Dining areas were neat and very nice.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Nice place, needs face lift

Overall good experience, good service and staff is welcoming. Rooms need a face lift, water was not coming up often (we where staying on the last floor) it was a problematic to take a shower or flush a toilet at pick time. Elevator to the last floor you have to wait and wait....Does are the only minuses. Food was delicious, great choices, restaurants where open long hours. Makes it convenient - do not have to drop everything to go and eat. One of bars was open very late (if not 24 hours). Plan t [... read more]o visit RIU on Bahamas soon. Probably will not stay on last floor.

Riu Palace Aruba: very nice resort

This was our 2nd visit to Aruba and at the Riu Palace. As usual, Aruba is a beautiful place to visit. The Riu hotel is also great, however it is starting to show signs that it is a little dated. Hotel wait staff are great and always friendly. Stay away from the hotel manager as he was not very helpful to us as we had an incident at the hotel with our daughter during our stay. He showed little care and compassion for the unfortunate situation that occured while we were dining in one of the hotel  [... read more]restaurants. Aside from that, Aruba is a wonderful island to visit and we cant wait to go back. However, because of our experience, I dont think we will return to the Riu Aruba.

Riu Palace Peninsula: "Disappointing "

The food was not good and the service not the greatest. We expected more from this place since it's a new built resort and under "Riu Palace" category. Pool service was horrible. The beach wasn't good to swim .

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Good resort

The first night of my visit I woke up to dirty tap water running from the taps, apparently the hotel was conducting work on the pipes, after I reported it they sent up a maintenance guy who couldn't get the water to run clear so they exchanged my room. The hotel grounds was rather small but the beach and food was good. The room was modern and the staff friendly. I had an overall good experience there.

Riu Flamingos: July 9-16

Amazing hotel-- always clean rooms -- great food-- and you have to go to the Marieta Islands if you're in Puerto Vallarta. It is worth the $. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Bring a waterproof camera or phone for memorable pics!!!

Riu Emerald Bay: good deal

good deal...get a room on the lower floors and take the stairs. otherwise the elevator waits can be annoying. The food and service is very good. Beach is nice, beautiful rocks and a sunset second to none.

Riu Guanacaste: Great relaxing resort

Great hotel! Staff and Ticos are amazing people! Very friendly and accommodating. I like the location for being a little remote, only 2 resorts on beach. Peaceful, exotic, and beautiful location. Very clean and well kept full of natural beauty!

Sol Turquesa Beach: Breathtakiing!

Hotel was well maintained. Staff were friendly and eager to assist. Lots of daytime and nighttime activities. Entertainment staff weren't pushy. Always greeted with a friendly face or a smile. Great place for friends and families.

Riu Guanacaste: Riu Guanacaste

My experience with the Riu as a first time trip is WOW. From the arrival to the resort the experience was excellent.You are greeted by the staff who are friendly and knowledgeable with a welcoming drink. From check in to check out you have no worries as someone is there to assist. The resort is beautiful, the grounds with flowers, trees are well maintained, The pool area is large and you are able to relax and enjoy. The restaurants and bars are also very good.

The gym, spa disco and casino are there for your use. All in all the stay was excellent. I would recommend the Rui to any one.

Riu Bambu: Wonderful Vacation!!!

The very first trip South we did my husband and I was at this resort 9 years ago. It was a dream come true and it's still as marvelous as it was then. When we went in Feb of 2013 again, we knew that we were going to be in good hands. We like the Riu chain. All of our expectations were delivered. The grounds are amazing, the room was very comfortable, the food was always great, at the buffet and at the restaurants. We didn't stay for the night life because we were always to tired by the time 9 o' [... read more]clock rolled around, so I can't comment on that. The beach is awsome. The sand is like white flour and the water is always clean and beautiful. I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay. I would go back in a heart beat.
