From start to finish my family thoroughly enjoyed celebrating the holiday and a birthday with RIU Tropical Bay. The staff made our stay! Shout outs to Beverley at the front desk; Lea, Chavel, Tricia, Mike, and Orane at the bars; Karen (the manager at Kystal); Captian Crazy at the buffet; house keeping staff; and beach cleaning staff. Regarding the beach: BIG SHOUT to your fantastic work on keeping the beach pristine and clear of pesky seaweed. Other resorts, to your right and left, were certainly struggling to keep ther waters and shores as esthetically pleasing as yours. What a special experience you provided for us. If you are looking for crystal green waters, soft sand, rustling palms, and lapping waves in a fun, and exceptionally clean place...you will find it all here at Riu Tropical Bay.
