Out of all the Riu hotels this was our favorite. Amazing location and views from the room. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Only the bed was a bit firm for my taste, but the staff got us an extra mattress which made it better. They are really serviceminded. Would love to return some time!

Amazing hotel to stay. Being an avid traveller, I can say this is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed. The food is exceptional in quality and quantity. The staff are very friendly and cater to all needs. Such a lovely place to be to relax and enjoy the all-inclusive vibes. All staff are smiling and show so much care towards you. We were specially looked after by Abdallah who mostly works in Ginger bar and also Ibrahim who works in the restaurant. They looked after us so well. I'd 100% recommend this hotel and will be vising again

8/10 Very good

The resort is very large and spreads over a huge area which means it never feels crowded. There is a steep slope from the reception area to the restaurants and bars which would be a problem for less mobile people. Limited covered seating if/when it rains. Staff are a real asset as they are ALL so friendly!

Big resort with lots of activities and dining options. A little on the noisy side if you’re looking for serene relaxation. Villas are nicely spread out and spacious. New wing with private pool is cute. Sunsets are out of this world. Nice restaurants on site and great hospitality. The ocean… my oh my! That’s the best part.
