9.4/10 Exceptional! (2,039 reviews)

I overall liked staying at the Riu. However, the shower and sink water pressure was too weak. Also, the two sinks wasted space that could have been used for personal items.

The check in was quick and friendly as for the room it was clean and quiet wasn't able to hear others in adjacent rooms, although the bed was too firm for me wasn't able to sleep well due to the firmest of the bed other than that my stay was okay.
