“Second Visit”
This wad our second visit to this all-inclusive resort. We had a junior suite, which afforded plenty of room. Ocean-view balcony. Staff was very helpful and accomodating. Food was quite good, with the breakfast buffet outstanding. We wanted a quick getaway with no hassles and that was exactly what we got!
“Riu is for you!”
I would recommend this hotel to everyone (and have)! We absolutely loved it. The hotel was the cleanest hotel I have EVER been in. The staff was wonderful and the food was fabulous. Have to love buffetts. We ate at the asian restaurant one night.....delicious! Loved the adults only swimming pool! Our room was beautiful and overlooked the the pools and out into the ocean. I would go back to this hotel but look forward to staying at other Riu hotels. All inclusive is the way to go.
“Loved it”
We went there in 2008 and had such a great time. This year we returned there after looking at other places and brought friends back with us. They said they would also recommend it to others.
“tropical paradise”
our only complaint is that the bed was too hard for us
“we're already planning to return”
The hotel was beautiful, rooms were spacious and clean. The pool and beach were perfect!
“Great Place to Stay”
I loved that you didn't have to go far to grab a cold beer or soda. The Food was Great and always near as well. The pool was nice and the beach was great with all of the palm trees I would definately go back!!
“Great place to stay”
Service was great and it was a nice place to relax.
“we'd stay again!”
We thoroughly enjoyed the Riu Vallarta. Especially having two swimming pools, one for families and one for adults. The resort was beautiful, staff was wonderful! The pool was warm and lively each afternoon with the entertainment crew and bar staff. The location is great, away from the congestion of Puerto Vallarta. The beach goes on forever.... is great for walking, or lounging under one of the many palm trees. Bucerias is a small town about one hour's walk via the beach or a 5-10 min. cab ride -worth the visit to see some Mexico charm and stop for a cervesa (beer). This is our 2nd stay at a Riu resort and we'd definitely stay at this resort again!
“great time”
My wife and i had a great time! The staff made it all happen. The staff was remarkable. The staff was very helpful and always pleasant! The bartenders are the greatest! The service at the spa was absolutely wonderful! It a beautiful place to stay. The food service was very very tastey! I can't say enough about the great time we had. Beautiful beaches, lots to do! Very clean, very organized...entertainment was fun!
“Fantastic - Would Go Again - But You'll Only Get Sleep On the Beach”
This fantastic trip was a pre-honeymoon honeymoon for us, and the Riu was perfect for it. The food was great, the water was warm and perfect, the drinks were free flowing. The shows were wonderful and the free boogie boards were great. We had only one complaint - the beds are so hard its basically impossible to sleep. This however is easily solved as we so because to catch some shut-eye on the beach. This is a great place if you are single and going with friends (had a lively night life) or have a family (there were a TON of kids) because they really enforce the "adult pool" and "kids pool." Even with the hard as rocks beds I would go to the Rui again. It was really an incredible trip.
