Riu Emerald Bay: Great Resort

We had a great time at this Hotel Resort. The food was good. Lots of fresh fish and sea food in the buffet. All kinds of things for kids to do. There was one kids show and two adult shows a night. Hotel was very clean. They where always cleaning every where. Nice to see that. The staff in the buffet, restaurant and around the whole resort where some of the best we have seen. Very friendly and help full. It was a great mixture of young parents with children to elderly people like my self all h [... read more]aving a fun time. Thank You

Riu Palace Macao: Amazing Resort!!!

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Awesome tesort

The resort itself was lovely. It was very clean and the people there were very helpful and friendly. I had very high expectations as this was my first time being in a place like this, and it was met.

Riu Palace Las Americas: Absolutely Amazing we will be back

Just got back and here is my review, remember this is just my review so please don't come after me Airport on the Sunday insane !! 3 hours ugh I'll remember not to fly on a Sunday We got a private shuttle to pick us ( best thing ever ) didn't have to wait for others to get on the shuttle bus within 25 min was at the hotel check was a breeze Our room exactly what we expected super clean decor got me the Mexican / Spain vibe our view was nice Beach the sand was absolutely amazing felt li [... read more]ke melted butter The " quieter pool " beautiful and definitely quieter ? The other pool with all the fun activities we loved Great music outdoor entertainment, only thing we weren't too impressed was bingo !! Why ? Totally killing the vibe my suggestion maybe take the bingo to the other pool or if they really must play bingo keep it at 1 game only The pool staff were always there never felt we had to find a server The restaurants we thought the steak restaurant way over rated ( Again our opinion don't come after me ) Not the best steak hospitality at the restaurants extremely amazing Our favourite restaurant was the Italian and ?Mexican Breakfast and lunch great buffet tons of variety The drinks I found they totally tasted off not sure why so I stuck to beer at the pool Wine at dinner ( wine perfecto ) Nighttime entertainment at the hotel great not cheesy at all very professional Wish the bars at the hotel would stay open later closed too early The beautiful inside bar in the hotel the decor was breathtaking Unfortunately couldn't sit for too long as the smell of dampness was too much for me Speaking of dampness my room didn't need " Damp rid " went next door to the white party ! Glad I got to experience it for 1 hour more for a 20 year olds but still glad we experienced it We found even the guests were all friendly everyone approachable Check out a breeze and again got a private shuttle to pick us up at the hotel Rating 8 / 10 We are DEFINITELY !! Coming back Would love to see dancing for the guests at the bar Less bingo at the pool Maybe changing the menu at the restaurants Excuse me while I book our next trip back ??

Riu Dunamar: AWESOME resort!!

We spent 7 days at Riu Dunamar, and could not say a single bad thing! The resort is beautiful, clean and well kept. Our room was big and spacious. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming. The beach is beautiful, with 5 pools. There was numerous things to do to keep yourself busy. The shows each night were great! Amazing staff, drinks and food. Lots of different meal choices. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing vacation.

Riu Guanacaste: Excellent, recommend

Great resort, great activities, adventures available.. Resort has a night life available for those that want it.. Bartenders are great, recommend Steven and Jeffrey.. Pool activities, David and Carlitos great at their job.. will go again

Riu Republica: Not so great

Employees not happy, long line up to book in, elevators and ice machines not working, septic smell, no coffee shop, 1 store, no ginger ail and no rye whiskey, many guests were ill, long wait at doctor's office

Riu Palace Antillas: No disappointments at Riu Palace Antillas

Our second visit to Riu Antillas. No disappointments again. 5 star resort all the way. The Beach is phenomenal, best beach ever and can walk long distance. The staff are superb. The manager Alex is amazing and takes the time to say hello everyday and have conversation. Big applause to the chef at the Pasta station in the Buffet. That woman is amazing and took care of our needs. We ll be back again. THE McReavy s

Riu Playa Blanca: Riu Playa Blanca Panama

Very nice hotel, 4.0 to 4.5* in my opinion. Cleaning is ongoing all day, this resort is very well kept inside and out. Beautiful manicured grounds. Rooms two twin beds however Queens were available. Double sinks in bathroom and large shower. Again very clean. Food selection at the buffet is excellent. À la cart restaurants were very good, both Italian and steakhouse. Did not try Asian. Bar service at pool and indoor bars very good. Selection of beverages was good. Canadian, Bourbon and scotch [... read more] whiskeys all name brands were available. Brandy and Gin quality was also good. Shout out to Justin, Hector and Jose at the bar. The hotel manager was on site and available. We travelled with Sunwing and their reps were on site daily to answer any questions. Resort features 4 pools, 1 swim up bar adults only, 1 quiet pool, 1 activity pool and a water park pool for children. Something for everyone. Entertainment was average most nights. Sports bar was 24 hrs, with espresso machine and pool tables. What prevents this hotel from being a 5 * is the beach, it is Panama on the pacific coast. It is not Caribbean white sand but dark sand. The beach is a public beach so you will get the annoying hucksters, but just wave and walk past them. Overall a very nice resort, however if your a beach lover this will not be for you. Price is better than most resorts.

Riu Guanacaste: RIU Guanacaste

I fell in love with this resort. We have been to numerous RIU resorts in Mexico, Dominican , but never Costa Rica. The resort is getting a little dated but does not retract from the many lovely amenities there. 5 * for me.

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Very Nice resort.

Unbelivable clean inside and out. Rooms were very spacious and bright. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I loved the landscaping too. Entertainment was pretty good. Enjoyed the silent music wearing headphones.

Riu Guanacaste: Great resort!

Always Friendly faces, great food and service! Grounds kept really clean. Pools are going to start needing work soon as pieces breaking etc. Washrooms stuffy and need more ventilation and work as well.

Riu Vallarta: Amazing

I've been to a lot of places all over Mexico and I have to say that the Riu Vallarta has been the best buffet I have ever seen. Selection and quality. Well done. Staff was very friendly. Cleaning staff was great. Entertainment was awesome and we used the neighboring Riu. Absolutely amazing vacation. no complaints.

Riu Flamingos: Not bad resort

The Riu Jalisco was an okay resort, the grounds were beautiful, the resort was very clean, the food was good, the staff were very good, went above and beyond to make you happy. It was nice that you didn’t need to book ala cartes, you could just walk up and get in, the food there was also good. The only one you needed to book was the steak house and for a steak in Mexico it was actually pretty good. The rooms were ok, dated and the bed was as hard and uncomfortable but ?‍♀️. The shower was small  [... read more]but we are used to staying at a Riu palace where this is bottom of the scale. This resort only has a few ocean view rooms so if you think you are getting one don’t be fooled. All the rooms that view the pool are family rooms with two queen beds, all the other rooms face palm trees which makes no sense because the disco it right by family rooms. This resort has ALOT of children and 20-25 yr olds so if that’s what you’re into then this is the place for you. If you want to hang around mature older 30-60 yr olds you can go next door to the Riu Vallarta and swim in there adult pool. Jalisco does not have an adult pool. If you are looking for an even older crowd that goes to bed early and reads books go to the palace. All in all this is a good resort it’s just not what were thought we were going to. Would I come back?…. Yes if I was younger and with a family for sure, next time I will go to Vallarta…. If I can make a suggestion… go on the rhythm of the night excursion (Riu Jalisco wanted $159 and vip 199, book it at Vallarta and you can get it for $145) Amazon show though

Riu Palace Aruba: BEAUTIFUL RESORT

The hotel was beautiful and very clean. The speciality restaurants were very good, but the notice that they are first come first served was not the case for the Steak Restaurant. For this restaurant you had to go to the restaurant shortly after 5:00 and stand in line waiting to see if you could get a reservation. The wait was worth it as the meal was delicious with quite a few options. However, it was misleading in the material on how to visit this restaurant. I did find the food in the buf [... read more]fet sometimes a little cool when it should be hot. The bar tenders were very nice and friendly.

Riu Republica: Great place with exceptions

I had a great time at Riu Republic. Rooms were great, lots of pools to choose from, nice beach. Loved the fact we could get multiple lounge chairs most of the day quite easily. Main buffet and the restaurants we tried were very good. Have to nite that 5 our group of 14 became very ill during the trip. Weather was also below expectations, periodic rain and cloudy except for 2 days. So while not everyone in my friends group would agree, I had an enjoyable time

Riu Palace Bavaro: Beautiful Beach and a good time

The Riu Palace Bavaro is a bit dated colour wise but it was clean and comfortable . I thought it's layout and various pool configurations were better than the other attached Riu resorts that we had privileges at. Staff were friendly , food good and drinks all depended on your bartender but mostly good. There is construction going on behind the main hotel building . It didn't bother us and was somewhat entertaining to watch before we headed out for the day. The best rooms are the Villa rooms alt [... read more]hough ours was just fine in the main building looking out to the central square . Best to have the upgraded room so you have privileges at all pools and not just the main noisier pool. The sandy beach and ocean water was gorgeous. You can walk forever down the beach.

Riu Playa Blanca: Beautiful Resort

Resort was immaculately taken care of with friendly staff. Plenty of things to do at the resort was good because there was not a lot of off resort options available. Grounds were very well maintained and green considering the area was desert like off resort.
