Property was nice! Guest service was great around the pool. I booked a romantic dinner that was supposed to be outdoors and paid extra for. They moved us in to a restaurant because of “weather,” there wasn’t any weather it was a major disappointment and not worth the money. Property was clean and love adults only!

The only thing we don't like is the entertainment option on Saturday...Not everyone wants to leave the hotel or party with tons of people. Since Saturday is usually a night to have fun, they should definitely have something fun happening at the hotel itself. It should not be quiet

This is the one thing that I didn’t like. Upon arrival at the airport, I was immediately scammed out of cash by the transportation guy. He told me there was a 45 minute wait for our ride to the hotel but if I paid him a fee, he has a friend who could take us there immediately. His friend was the transportation guy who was supposed to take us for free. It was my 31st time in Cancun and I know the deal. When we were ready to leave, the transportation people tried to send us on a shuttle 4 hours before our flight saying nothing else was available.

Upon check in, they didn’t have a room available with a king bed, which I had booked. They had to put us in a room with 2 queen beds, and then we had to switch the next day to a room with a king bed. Didn’t have very many food choices, restaurants didn’t have that great of tasting good. Ended up getting sick for a couple days from either the food, or water. Definitely don’t recommend if you have food allergies, as they didn’t accommodate food allergies very well. The staff wasn’t as friendly as they could have been, and rarely did staff come to the pool to collect drink orders. You had to get out of the pool, and go up to the bar to get your drinks. The resort offered water volleyball, but only offered it in 2 half hour sessions throughout the day. Wished they would have left the net up everyday, since so many people wanted to play. There also wasn’t very much entertainment options at the resort. Almost all of the Riu parties took place at another Riu resort. Overall not very impressed, and wouldn’t recommend!
