Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the excellent and varied food, the service and welcoming atmosphere, as well as the impeccable cleanliness of the hotel and rooms. The beach is also praised for its beauty, cleanliness, and inviting atmosphere for walks. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the beach can have minor drawbacks such as seaweed or a lack of shade, and that its distance occasionally necessitates a shuttle service.

I loved it
J'ai adoré

Beautiful lobby, great activities, especially the silent disco night and Riu party. Good service and good food. The only downside was the very aggressive coatis by the pool.

Beau lobby, belles activités surtout soirée disco silencieuse et party riu. Bon service et bonne nourriture. Seul bémol, les coaties qui sont très intenses sur le bord de la piscine.

Read carefully - We will not return
Lire attentivement-Nous n’y retournerons pas

Since you asked for our opinion, I'll start… Beach: none - zero palapas, just very tall palm trees that offer no shade. The restaurants and buffet are very varied. There's practically no entertainment in the lobby and no service; you absolutely have to go to the bar to get a drink and then go back to the lobby to find another seat. The parties are held at Tequila, which makes it very crowded in the evenings, whether it's the Neon Night or the White Party (all the RIU hotels gather there). The pool smells awful, the music is bland and very Americanized, very disappointing. First time in Mexico…: And in love with Cuba, with its incredibly kind people and breathtaking beaches, it's nothing like Mexico. In short, it's lucky Mother Nature was on our side!

Puisque vous demandez notre avis alors je commence….

Plage: aucun - zéro palapas, que de très haut palmiers qui ne donne pas d’ombres.

Restaurants et buffet très variés.

Pratiquement pas de divertissement au lobby et aucun service il faut absolument aller attendre au bar pour avoir une consommation et retourner au lobby et chercher une autre place pour s’asseoir.

Les party se passe au Tequila, ce qui fait beaucoup de monde le soir Néon ou la soirée en blanc( (tout les RIU s’y rassemblent.

Piscine à pisse puanteur exécrable, musique plate et très américanisée très décevant.

Première fois au Mexique…: Et amoureux de Cuba avec son peuple tellement gentil et ses plages à couper le souffle, rien à voir avec le Mexique.

Bref une chance que mère nature était de notre bord!

Good except for the Bamboo Asian restaurant
Bien sauf le restaurant asiatique Bamboo

The staff at Bamboo are unprofessional and the food is too basic.

Le personnel n’est pas professionnel au bambou et la nourriture est trop de base
