For the money, I really expected a lot more. I was pretty disappointed overall. I would suggest spending a little extra $$ and book a Beaches or Sandles resort rather than a Riu resort. We booked the family suite so the adults could have some privacy from the kids. However, the layout of the family suites are such that the master bedroom is open to the rest of the suite. So, there was no adult privacy. There was a separate TV room which was wasted space since there were also TVs in the master and kids rooms. Bed was hard and pillows were limp. Room was clean overall. We only saw two cockroaches in our room. Bath gel, lotion, and conditioner was only provided on the last day. Shampoo dispenser was provided in the shower. Plenty of room towels were provided. Food was mediocre at best. All the food was buffet style even the “specialty” restaurants. The service in the restaurants was good. Do not book this hotel if you are trying to get away from kids. There were more kids in the “adult” pool than there were in the “kids” pool. Kids at the swim up bar just seems wrong. The pool needed a good vacuuming. The safe in our room did not work. We couldn’t get it open and when I called the front desk I had to schedule an appointment. The appointments were only available at noon, 2 PM, 4 PM, 6 PM, or 8 PM. What if I had to get to an appointment or airport? The person who was supposed to fix the safe was a half hour late. Then, the repair person replace

Reservation included a $35 spa credit for each room. The spa would only redeen the credit for partial payment on the 2 most expensive massages that were over $100. The hotel itself couldn't effect the spa's policy, VERY MISLEADING.

This is the second time that we have stayed at this hotel. Public spaces are clean/well kept up. Beach is outstanding. Lots of chairs under palm trees at the beach. Two pools both very nice/well kept up. However, for the second time we were placed in the south wing of the hotel and there is very loud music that plays from somewhere next door. Both times we have had to move to a room on the north side of the hotel, which is great. Much, much quieter. This time we felt as though the hotel is going downhill. Not enough staff. Rooms were not cleaned as well....not enough staff in dining rooms, etc. They need more staff! The food at the beach grill is always great.

Riu Jalisco resort was good not great

Pros: It was a very clean hotel, the fountain area was beautiful.
Cons: More than one set of elevators, my elderly parents had to walk a lot to get to our rooms.
Location: Go to Bucerias. Go on the Vallarta shuttle city tour. Go on the Marigallante pirate ship tour. Those are fun safe things to do.
Stayed at Riu Jalisco, a lovely resort with friendly staff. Lots of kids while we were there, and was hoping they would use the children’s pool, however a lot of kids were in the adult pool and at the swim up bar. Not cool. The rooms were clean and the fridge was stocked with water, beer, and soda, and was replenished daily. The sports bar was dumpy, plain and the food available after hours was pretty much leftovers from the buffet. Saw a large cucaracha near the microwave one night. We walked over to the Riu Palace (not included in our wristband) and wow, what a difference. We also walked over to the Riu Vallarta resort (which was included in our wristband) and that resort was terrific too. Both places seemed newer, had beautiful grounds, and the lobbies and lobby bars were decorated fabulous. But back to the Jalisco. The Asian restaurant was fantastic. The Italian restaurant was also wonderful food. The entertainment shows were great, they had a really good Michael Jackson impersonator there, one night in the Cantina bar there was a Mariachi band and a couple of kids who were tourists actually got up and sang. The beach was clean, there were no wait staff at the pool side or ocean side so you have to get your own drinks. The public bathrooms were always attended to and very clean. We always felt safe at the resort, we had some wonderful staff members who would laugh and joke with us and were really attentive.

Riu Jalisco-Rundown Resort

Pros: Location of the hotel; outside appearance was nice - good grounds with native plants.
Cons: More professional staff; if you're expecting a lot of people, insure there is enough staff to accommodate the crowds.
The good: food was tasty-great variety; location was good, nice beach area. The bad: rundown hotel; staff was not very friendly or helpful; room was comfortable, but the door to the patio was broken and bugs would get into the room; towels felt like rubbing sand paper on your skin; we went during a time that most locals were there on vacation too so it was very crowded; kids were allowed in places we felt were not appropriate - bar stools; the pool bar, etc. The staff would not clean the buffet areas quick enough (understaffed maybe?), but families would spill on the serving areas or by the eating areas and not get cleaned up quickly. A few times we actually had to clean off our own table in order to sit and eat. We understand it's an open air environment at one of the restaurants, but flying birds all the time thru the restaurant were not shooed away by the staff. Actually saw a few birds dump on top of tables/chairs, etc. Staff did nothing until we brought it to their attention. Entertainment? Minimal. Only show that was worth the entire week's worth of entertainment was a Michael Jackson imitator. The same songs were played by the live band every single night. Games played with guests, again, everyday were the same. The pool was very dirty. We understand there were a lot of people, but maintenance needs to be done quickly and professionally in order to avoid the foggy appearance of the water and debris floating everywhere. Won't be staying here again.
