Résumé des avis

The cleanliness of the grounds and rooms is highly praised, as are the quality and variety of the food. The staff is commended for its friendliness. The beautiful, clean, and well-equipped beach, along with the numerous swimming pools and festive atmosphere, are major assets. However, some guests feel the hotel does not meet 5-star standards. The à la carte restaurants are sometimes perceived as simply themed buffets, and the atmosphere can occasionally be noisy.

Huge disappointment, the hotel didn't live up to the Riu standard.
Grosse déception hôtel pas à la hauteur des Riu

Couple's trip from August 6th to 13th. Disappointing room with stained curtains and a rusty bathroom mirror, but the cleaning lady does a good job with a small tip. The buffet is just okay, the à la carte restaurants are disappointing. A hotel where no rules are respected, people smoke everywhere, even inside the nightclub, people have no class, groups of boys, especially Argentinians, who respect nothing and no one. Anarchy. If you are looking for a classy and pleasant place, don't go here. I really like Riu hotels, but this one doesn't live up to the chain's standards. On the other hand, the waiters do their best, but seem jaded, and some clearly show it.

Voyage en couple du 6 au 13 Août
Chambre décevante avec des rideaux plein de taches un miroir de salle de bain rouillé mais la femme de ménage fait du bon travail avec un petit pourboire
Le buffet est juste correcte les restaurants à la carte sont décevant
Un hôtel où aucune règle n’est respectée, les gens fume partout même à l’intérieur de la discothèque, les gens n’ont aucune classe des groupes de garçons surtout des argentins qui ne respectent rien ni personne
L’anarchie
Si vous cherchez un endroit classe et agréable n’allez pas la , j’aime beaucoup les Riu mais celui ci n’est pas à la heuteur de cette chaîne
Par contre les serveurs font de leurs mieux, mais semblent blazer et certains le montrent clairement

Very disappointed with my trip
Très déçu de mon voyage

I hadn't checked other people's reviews before booking the trip. I booked a RIU hotel because they're usually 5-star. Clearly, this one isn't. The staff weren't very friendly; we felt like we were bothering them very often. The cleanliness of the pools was also very disappointing; I hope I didn't get vaginitis. In short, I don't recommend this hotel at all unless you're a young person looking to party, in which case you won't be disappointed.

Je n' avais pas regardé les commentaires des gens avant de réserver le voyage. J' avais acheté une chaîne RIU car normalement c' est du 5 étoiles. Clairement celle ci ne en fait pas partie. Les employés était pas très souriant on avait l air de les déranger très souvent. La propreté des piscines est quand même très décevante, j' espère de pas avoir contracter de vaginites. En somme je ne recommande pas du tout cette hôtel a moins d être un jeune qui veut faire le party et la vous ne serez pas déçu.

Unfortunately, the pool was very dirty throughout our stay. The ground around the pool was also full of rubbish. It's a shame because otherwise it's a beautiful place.
Malheureusement la piscine très sale tout au long de notre séjour. Le sol autour de la piscine plein de déchets aussi. Dommage car sinon bel endroit.

Swimming pool next to the water slides.


Piscine à coté des glissades d eau.

Several shortcomings
Plusieurs lacunes

The hotel has its good points but several shortcomings. I suggest doing your research before booking to see if it's right for you. It's nowhere near as good as the Riu Latino in Cancun. Positive: The bars, the food is decent, the atmosphere. Negative: Insufficient maintenance, insufficient service, unfriendly staff, often slow Wi-Fi, lots of cigarette butts, no one to enforce the pool rules. In short, if you get a good price and these negatives don't bother you, you'll be satisfied.

L’hôtel a des bons côtés mais plusieurs lacunes. Je suggère de faire vos recherches avant de réserver pour savoir si c’est correct pour vous. On est très loin derrière le Riu Latino à Cancun.

Positif: Les bars, la nourriture est correcte, l’ambiance

Négatif: pas assez d’entretien, pas assez de service, le personnel n’est pas souriant, le wifi est souvent lent, il y a beaucoup de mégots de cigarette, il n’y a personne pour faire respecter les règles de la piscine

En résumé, si vous avez un bon prix et que ces points négatifs ne vous dérangent pas, vous allez être satisfaits.
