The property was smaller than others I’ve stayed at which made it nice because you didn’t have to walk a mile to get to stuff. Property was clean and staff was great. If you wanted to participate in the themed parties at the other Riu they shuttled you which was a bonus! The only caution is the double beds felt closer to twins. Each year me and 2 of my girlfriends book a room with 2 double beds and swap out who has to share, sharing was not an option in these and we had to take turns contorting ourselves to fit on the small loveseat. Now we know so we can plan appropriately next time. Would definitely go back!

If you are looking for a vacation destination that has diversity, this definitely isn’t the place for you. While the room is beautiful, the resort is extremely clean the food was less than expected. This hotel does not have any clubs located on site and the entrainment I would rate a 2. However the hotel is in close proximity to the central hotel area, where there are quite a few clubs and outdoor entertainment, such as live music and Hookah. Super quick Uber and around 6 usd per trip.
