Not Worth a Return Visit Stayed at Riu Vallarta recently and left disappointed. • Room: Parking lot view, not garden/plaza as expected. Beds pushed together despite request for two separate ones. Sofa bed old and stained. Clogged sink on arrival, worn furniture, ragged towels, minibar never restocked. Rain caused flooding in the room. • Dining: Limited options, no reservations, long waits for a table. Food quality about 7/10. • Pools: Small, crowded, often no poolside service. Drinks just okay. • Kids’ Club: Very short hours and limited activities. • Beach: Average. Only highlight: Entertainment staff—Chris, Frida, and Teresita—were fantastic and brought real energy to the stay. Overall, too many issues for the price. Won’t be returning.

We had a delay and Expedia and I had followed all the steps that we needed to arrive there late they gave away our rooms and we had to be all split up and at that we didn’t have a room for the last day and still paid the same price. We felt like we were inconveniencing the workers when we would ask for drinks, even during meals after waiting for 45 minutes for the steakhouse, we were told that they didn’t have a table for our group not even on the waiting list so we never got to eat at the steakhouse the facilities is nice and very clean, but would not be staying there again!

We went in the low season but it was still super crowded. We had to wait in line for everything, the bathroom outside, breakfast in the morning, towels, everything just too many people. The service is very impersonal and not really friendly but that is probably just because it's over crowded. The food is not very good if you are particular about food but that's most all inclusives. If you're more into drinking alot and eating whatever than it's good for you but we dont really drink so all inclusive wasn't really worth it for us.

Terrific! Staff were friendly. Rooms were clean and minibar was perfect for night caps. Food was good. Could use more flavor. But i get the bland due to different people eating and their dietary needs. Pools- activities- and night shows were great. Kids enjoyed themselves. Count on us to return again.

Property was clean, and food was delicious! This was my boyfriend and I’s first trip together to an all inclusive & to Mexico & we were more than pleased.

The Hotel Riu Vallarta is a nice place. We definitely enjoyed the beach, pools, and bars. However, it is nearly impossible to eat at one of the restaurants besides the buffet at a reasonable time. There are no reservations, so people start lining up 30-60 minutes ahead of opening just to get in and get a table. Everyone gets added to a waitlist so it might be hours before you eat after standing in line. We wanted to eat at the Steakhouse but the line was insane all five days we were at the resort. Also, the entertainment is a bit lackluster. There were some reasonably good musicians, but they only play for 30-45 at a time. Then the RIU staff put on quiz shows, or children's entertainment in between musical acts. We were disappointed.
