Lovely pool area, though a bit crowded most of the time - but that’s to be expected. No real complaints.

Everything was great about the hotel until sewer odor started coming from the restroom and made its way throughout the entire room. I tried flushing the toilet and running the water on the sinks and shower, but it did not work. It got worse over night. I didn't bother to let anyone else know since we left early morning.

Riu is a good hotel for sure. I would have liked one bottle of water/day. Also $30 for the breakfast buffet is expensive, especially since I am a vegetarian. Their breakfast price is fixed. I could not even get a cappuccino. I was told it's an extra cost. My room service salad arrived without Salad Dressing! I called RS several times. I asked the Front Desk to get the salad price removed from my bill. It was still on my bill at checkout and it took 45 minutes to resolve. Customer Service is what makes a hotel GREAT. All other things being equal. So Riu is not there yet.

The breakfast buffet was not all that. The food was mostly all cold and they would run out really fast and not refill in a timely manor. Very disappointed in their quality of food.

I got confused that the upgrade was about $30 for two night but was per night, I even asked for the total and I was told $30. The upgrade was a better room and access to the lounge. The lounge had mainly sweet bread for food and tuna sandwiches, compared to other lounges of similar hotels, this lounge was lacking on food options. Overall Riu hotels are above average, for me at least.

It was one of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed. The room is up to date and very comfortable. The staff is very helpful. There are lot of restaurants and shops close by. The only thing that could have been better was the elevators. You have to use your key to get to your floor which is a good thing. My key only worked half the time. Not sure how to fix that. It is a small Isis and would not stop me from staying here again.

Only think I didn’t like that much is the parking. You need to use 3 different elevators to get to your car and need to validate your parking ticket each time you use the parking. This is very unusual in my hotels experience. 🤔 everything else was perfect !!
