Résumé des avis

The variety and quality of the food at the buffets are highly praised, as are the friendliness and service of the staff. The rooms are often spacious, clean, and frequently offer beautiful sea views, while the overall cleanliness of the hotel is also highlighted. The numerous swimming pools and lovely beaches perfect for walking complete this positive experience. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the à la carte restaurants can be similar to buffets, repetitive, or difficult to book.

Disappointments for a Riu
Déceptions pour un Riu

Not much entertainment. The staff hardly spoke English, only Spanish. Only one bar was open, so there were long queues. The pools need attention; many tiles were broken, and the electrical wires for the pool lights were hanging loose in the water. The beach was extremely rough, with a red flag flying all week. The room was adequate but needed renovation in the older section. Cleanliness was generally good. My son hurt himself on the first water slide he went down, and another boy broke his nose. The buffet was just okay... We're used to better in Mexico. Overall, we had a nice week, but I wouldn't go back.

Peu d'animation
Le personnel ne presque pas anglais que espagnol
1 seul bar ouvert donc longue fil a attendre....
Piscine,elles ont besoin d'amour céramique beaucoup briser dans les piscines, fils électriques des lumières de la piscine sortie dans l'eau car la lumière est décrocher.
Plage,mer extrêmement agité,drapeau rouge toute la semaine .
Chambre correcte mais besoin d'amour dans la vieille partie.
Propreté en général bien
Les glissades d'eau, mon fils c'est blesser a la première glissade qui a fait et un autre garçon s'est casser le nez aussi.
Le buffet correcte sans plus ... Pour le Mexique nous sommes habitués a mieux....
Nous avons tout de même passer une belle semaine en général mais je n'y retournerai pas.
