Loud af. Crappy house keeping. Pricey amenities.
House keeping was awful. Some days didn’t get new water bottles. They would just roll up dirty towels and put back on shelf (still wet). The lobby is a party every night with a ton of people not staying at hotel. Chaos all over. Breakfast mediocre.

Needs lots of repairs
Very run down hotel in need of repairs. Hard to imagine this is still a 5 star hotel. The decor is beautiful and you can see this once was wonderful but it is in need of new mirrors, sinks, tubs all which were chipped and deteriorating. Plus the pillows were throw pillows inside queen sized cases and incredible uncomfortable. We aaked for extra pillows so we could try to sleep comfortably but even the mattress was outdated. Our mini fridge was broken and blowing hot air. We were told its not supposed to keep items cool but to maintain freshness which made no sense. We needed it for medication and we were told to bring meds to hotel kitchen to store during our stay. We asked if we could get ice for the ice bucket in our room but we were told theres no ice available in the hotel so we bought our own daily since we were worried we would have our medication lost/stolen. We love Riu hotels, especially in Cancun but this hotel is NOTHING like the Rius we have stayed in. It was very disappointing to say the least. Edited: I have photos of repairs needed but I'm unable to upload them

RIU Panama 2024
I have stayed there for the last 4 years when on business and always have a great stay. Breakfast is the best part. The staff is friendly and it is a very busy place at times. The only thing I would say was a negative for me personally was the bed, it was very hard and I had difficulty sleeping on it. Otherwise bring a bar of soap as they only have a liquid in a bottle.

The Staff is excellent, and the breakfast is amazing. The lobby area is always clean and smells great. The only bad thing about my stay was that there weren't any microwaves on the property (first-world problems, lol). For some travelers, that isn't a big issue. Overall still a 10/10! Definitely would recommend this hotel to everyone!!!
