Résumé des avis

The hotel and its grounds are unanimously praised for their exemplary cleanliness, as are the friendliness and quality of service provided by the staff. The variety and excellence of the buffet food are also highly appreciated. Furthermore, guests highlight the beauty and cleanliness of the beach, ideal for strolling, as well as the comfort and spaciousness of the rooms, not to mention the numerous well-maintained swimming pools. However, the quality of the à la carte restaurants is sometimes considered disappointing.

Good, but not worthy of a 5-star rating.
Bon mais pas digne d'un 5 étoiles

We are currently here, from August 17th to 24th, 2026. Positive points: Excellent service at the bars, pools, and restaurants. The room is very nice, large, and clean. The sea is superb, with no seaweed at this time and a few waves. The resort is very clean throughout. The staff is quick, courteous, polite, and attentive. Negative points: Several rooms have air conditioning that doesn't go below 21.5°C (70°F). The pool water is the same temperature as a spa. Yet these points have been mentioned several times, and nothing has been done. No shade on the beach. Small, repetitive buffet, but good. Doors open with a keycard. No bar in the lobby. I've stayed at several 5-star resorts, and unfortunately, certain points really make the difference between a 5-star and a 4-star. Date of stay: August 2026

Nous y sommes en ce moment semaine du 17 au 24 août 2026. Points positifs: Service excellent aux bars, aux piscines et restos. La chambre est très belle grande et propre. La mer est superbe sans algues à ce moment et un peu de vagues. Complexe très propre partout. Personnel rapide, courtois, poli et a l'ecoute. Points négatifs: Plusieurs chambres avec l'air climatisé qui ne descend pas en bas de 21.5. L'eau des piscines est à la même température qu'un spa. Pourtant ces points ont été mentionnés à plusieurs reprises et rien n'a bougé. Aucun ombre à la plage. Petit buffet répétitif mais bon. Ouverture des portes avec une carte. Aucun bar au lobby. J'ai fait plusieurs 5 étoiles et malheureusement certains points font vraiment la différence entre un 5 et un 4.
Date du séjour : août 2026

Nice trip overall
Beau voyage en général

The hotel is really large and clean. All areas are air-conditioned except for the corridors where the rooms are located. The adult pools aren't deep enough, but the family pools are. As for entertainment, there was often something for families, but very little for adults. The pool bars don't make good drinks; we were disappointed. If you want better drinks, you have to go to the bar with the cappuccino counter. For the à la carte restaurants, you have to arrive between 5:45 and 6:00 PM the same day to request a table at your preferred time; otherwise, you might not get a table. For the steakhouse, you have to reserve through the Riu app, and since our arrival, there has never been a table available. So, is it really without reservations? In my opinion, no. The staff is attentive to allergies in the à la carte restaurants. At the buffet, the trays are labeled, but check carefully before taking anything, as the signs describing the food have sometimes been reversed. The food quality is a 7.5 to 8 out of 10. There are always things you'll enjoy. For seafood lovers, there are several kinds of fish, shrimp, and that's about it. However, the desserts are a 5/10 (every trip to Mexico, lol), but I made up for it with fruit. I was disappointed that there wasn't a BBQ during our stay. As for the beach, there are plenty of chairs and lots of palm trees, so there's plenty of shade. I found there was quite a bit of debris in the sand. There were very few sea bass. However, the waves were strong every day. There aren't any bars directly on the beach, but there are waiters who come by.

L'hôtel est vraiment grand et propre. Toutes les places sont climatisé a l'exception des corridors où il y a les chambres.

Les piscines adultes n'ont pas assez de profondeur, mais celles pour les familles oui. Pour l'animation, il y en avait souvent pour les familles mais tres peu pour les adultes.

Les bars au piscines ne savent pas faire de bons drinks sur ce points on a ete déçu. Si vous en voulez des meilleurs il faut allez au bar ou il y a le comptoir Capuchino.

Pour les restaurants a la carte vous devez vous présenter a 17h45-18h la journée même pour demander une place a l'heure qui vous convient, sans ça il se pourrait que vous n'arrivez pas a avoir une place. Pour le steakhouse vous devez réserver sur l'application Riu et nous depuis le premier jour de notre arrivée, il n’a jamais eu de place disponible. Donc, est ce que c'est vraiment sans réservation..? selon moi non.

Le personnel se souci de vos allergies dans les resto a la carte. Au buffet, les plateaus sont identifiés mais regardez bien avant de prendre, car il est arrivé que les affiches qui décrits la nourriture soient inversées. Pour la qualité de la nourriture cest un 7.5 a 8 sur 10. Il y a toujours des choses que l'on aime a manger. Pour les fans de fruits de mers, il y a plusieurs sortes de poissons, des crevettes et c'est tout. Par contre, côté dessert, 5/10 (tous mes voyages au Mexique lol), mais bon j'ai compensé avec des fruits. J'ai été déçu qu'il n'y a pas eu de bbq durant notre séjour...

Pour la plage, il ne manque pas de chaises et il y a beaucoup de palmiers donc il y a de l'ombre. Jai trouvé quil y avait pas mal de débris dans le sable. Côté sagarces, il y en avait très peu. Par contre, a tous les jours les vagues étaient fortes. Pas de bars direct a la plage mais il y a des serveurs qui passent.
