"Good"

"Horrible property nothing close to the pictures that they show! Food was horrible and service was horrible"

"They couldn't get me the Airport shuttle saying that it was all booked and I had to find and pay a taxi to get to the airport. Door lock on the washroom door was broken and the door did not lock at all. The beds are tiny and you can't reasonably sleep 2 people on them. The food is way overpriced for the quality."

"The property was gorgeous and you always saw staff cleaning. I have absolutely zero complaints about the room or property. We stayed on the new side of the property and the decor was very fitting for the resort. For the food, all restaurants are buffet style, which was kind of a bummer because you can find all the specialty restaurant food in the main buffet throughout your stay The steakhouse is table service and takes reservations but it felt very rushed to get through the courses The pools are a massive highlight and honestly so refreshing to be in. There are tables and seating in the pools with the swim up bars, it never took long to wait for a drink, and the cocktails were fruity and delicious. There are plenty of beach activities to look into, the sand is volcanic and hot so definitely wear shoes! If you walk down the beach a bit, there is an off property bar and TONS of monkeys on the way If you don't book through the property and use expedia, you do not get airport transportation included in your reservation. We used LAR and they were awesome, super punctual and professional I went with my boyfriend for my birthday and we are already planning next year's trip The only thing I will say, if you have room preferences that you put in through Riu, make sure to follow up. Since this was my birthday trip I put in a few requests for views and area of property and none of them were met"

"The pictures on the Expedia listing are not accurate. The whole property is filty and unsanitary. In rooms and common areas there is mold, rust peeling paint and trash everywhere. This property is a health hazzard. The food is not eatable and very minimum choices."

"We stayed in a second floor master suite, which was very spacious and had a great view of the salt water pool area and the beach from a large balcony. It was kept very clean. The food was excellent - lots of variety and consistently delicious. There was a different theme at each evening meal. The water in the pools was warm and inviting. We found the constant music at the pool area distracting and a bit tiresome."
