We had a great time at Riu hotel, the room was spacious and clean, the fridge was stocked with beer, sodas and sparkling water. The staff was very nice, friendly and ready to help. We will definitely stay here again.
The property is very well maintained.
One thing we really loved is just how friendly the staff is all across the property. This hotel group is certainly doing something right as the employees are happy and clearly love their jobs. Nice work!
If you like all-inclusive, this property is a great choice.
The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The phone was delicious and plentiful. Drinks were well made and all was included in the price of the hotel. There were activities at the hotel as well as excursions one could take. I had a wonderful time.
Very attentive, very clean and food was delicious.

we had a great stay and had no problems while we were there and no issues, but the property is starting to feel and look dated not things that a coat of paint wont fix. the staff are very helpful and the beach is great we are not pool people but looked nice with lots of people enjoying them, food was good but nothing special we ate out most nights as there's so many great restaurants to choose from..
Staff friendly and courteous. The room was always clean and there was a lot of breakfast choices and also delicious

Honestly unless you want to drink all day and you aren’t very choosy about the food, you’re probably better to stay at a hotel near the city and eat at different restaurants. The food here a few years ago was good but the quality has declined. The hotel staff are friendly.
The room keys are still cards, not wrist bands so it can get annoying carrying a card around. There app glitches and booking services is inconvenient. Staff was friendly, resort was clean.
Food was great, staff was very nice and attentive.
Needed to get a room changed and the staff was very helpful and immediately accommodated our needs. Would definitely go back to a RIU Hotel.
The staff were all very lovely and helpful! Really enjoyed the variety of food options. The hotel grounds where beautiful and well kept. There’s a variety of pools to swim in to avoid over crowding, and easy access to the beach. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend to others.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a wonderful family vacation at Hotel Riu Vallarta! The resort was beautiful, the food was great, and we really enjoyed the pools and beach. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and overall, we had an amazing experience.
One recommendation for improvement would be to have more servers available around the pools and beach areas, as there were not enough staff to assist guests. I would also suggest adding more lifeguards around the swimming pools, especially for families with children.
Overall, a great resort with excellent hospitality. We truly enjoyed our vacation and would definitely recommend it to family and friends. Looking forward to visiting again!
