As far as assigned room condition and service, it was top notch. Our previous stay was in a much more desirable room overlooking the courtyard where we could sit on the balcony and enjoy hearing the music at a pleasant volume. This room overlooked a back alley and had no other attractive qualities.

The room is clean, most rooms have ocean views. We enjoyed the nightly entertainments. These are informal, interactive and fun. The staff is helpful. The checkout is fast too. However I found food offerings are limited. The pool food is only hot dog and hamburgers(with starchy meat patties). There is no tacos or wings. The breakfast buffets are nice and adequate but lunch and dinner offerings are lackluster. There are only buffets for lunch and there are usually only two à la carts restaurants open every night. The food in these restaurants are also disappointing, steak we had were of cheap cut and many dishes were too salty. There were also not enough local food representations, which is very disappointing for the area.

The beach is gorgeous!! Staff was helpful and friendly. Food was average, The only way to get an umbrella on the beach is to rent one…….we had never stayed at a resort that does this. Also, the swim up bar lounge chairs are never free. Towels must be placed at midnight !! Also, water in that pool really smells like urine 😵‍💫

Wouldn't come back. Everything was very subpar. Rooms were not very nice. Biggest complaint was you couldn't get into the restaurants unless you lined up half an hour to an hour before they open to then be told a 2-3 hour wait still. Not how you want to spend your vacation standing in line. Wish they just did reservations like every other resort. At least you can plan your day accordingly with children. Buffet was all we could eat and that got old really fast. Not good food at all :( was very disappointed :(

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff was absolutely amazing and easily the best part of this resort. Friendly helpful and genuinely wonderful people. Unfortunately that is where the positives mostly end. There is no ATM on site which is inconvenient for an all inclusive resort. The specialty restaurants fill up almost immediately each day so we rarely got the chance to eat at them. Because of that the buffet was our main option most days. It was fine but eating there over and over gets old quickly. The on site store also raised cigarette prices over the weekend which felt a little sketchy and left a bad taste. I have stayed at other Riu properties in Puerto Vallarta and had much better experiences. This one just did not live up to expectations and I probably would not return.

Room was clean, staff was great, food was good. Life bands are fun, but need better varieties, the main mic was too low for a singer. Kids activities are way too loud. Times where the kids activities and bar at the beach where so loud i had to move.

Great service & experience!! All staff were very friendly & everything was very clean! it was hard to find good food but once we figured out what was good, we stuck with the same choices. Steak at steakhouse isn’t worth the wait…it was silver & rubbery. Italian place is the best restaurant! We saw whales from the beach & sea turtles hatching there which was amazing!
