We have been coming to Puerta Vallarta for 20 years & decided to stay at this end of town as we had never stayed here. We were looking for something quiet. Upon arrival (we booked a family suite) we were directed to our room at the other end of the hotel, a huge distance & no elevators to get us to that end. When we asked about a wheel chair because one of our family members had trouble walking, we were told that we could rent one for $200. Air conditioning in room not working and after complaining about it for 2 days in a row, they turned off our phone so we couldn't call down anymore. Had to ask for extra towels each day & they felt like sandpaper. Rooms are supplied with a small mini-bar of alcohol & no coffee. Only one place to get coffee early in the morning and that is another long walk back to the front desk area (the sports bar is open 24 hours a day), but they don't want you to take anything out of the area. 5 restaurants and they are all buffet style with all the same food. A little theme related for each restaurant, but basically the same food. Each night was the same. Food was overcooked & dried out.There are no wait staff at the pool. Not allowed to bring any food by the pool.Only thing open at lunchtime is a small grill area that serves warmed up burgers & hot dogs from the day before. Pool towels are alloted by a "pool card" & you have to walk a long distance over to the kiddy pool to get your towel each morning. Pool chairs dirty & stained. Staff was nice

The property itself is lovely. The room was smaller than the other 7 resorts we have stayed in but it was clean and well equipped. It had a mini bar that included 4 liquor bottles, beer, sodas and water. Major plus. Unfortunately, the food was bland and barely warm. There is NO fine dining here. Even the desserts were lacking. Very disappointing. The staff is barely friendly but it could be that they are under staffed. Certainly at the bottom of the list of the all resorts we have visited. Pretty grounds and the folklore show was pretty good. That's where the positive ends.

The customer service was bad the entire time we were there (5days). The staff did not make any of us feel welcome and were not helpful especially at dining times. Every waiter we encountered seemed bothered with our existence and even when tipping they did not seem friendly nor helpful. At the steakhouse which was an issue to get into, we were served last after our order was given to another family that came 10 minutes after us. Apart from service the rooms did not seem clean,when we first came in as there a half bottle of Pepsi already drank from in mini bar, we were traveling with a child and there is no privacy in the bathroom showers, we put up our own towels to have privacy. Our bed sheets had blood stains from previous washes that were still visible. We have been at other Riu’s before and this was the by far our worst experience.

Dear Ericka, Please note that our staff is constantly trying to keep our property clean and well maintained. This includes the cleaning of the pool and all our facilities on a daily basis. All our hotels fulfil the international hygienic norms. The bed cloth and towels are washed and dried according to the correct temperature limits as set out by general hygiene instructions. Moreover, it is much unexpected to read your comments about our staff. Tipping is completely optional and the quality of our service should not depend on it. We are sorry that you left our resort thinking otherwise. We will be sure to address your concerns with the appropriate members of our team. Best regards, Hotel Riu Jalisco Online Reputation Manager
