Food. Restaurants and entertainment. Restaurants were told no reservations. However you did not put your bar on the list at 6pm they would sell out for the night. We ended up not having dinner one night because of it and then leaving the resort for future meals. There was little to fun entertainment.

The room and resort would have been good but the terrible construction and drilling in the wall all day for 3 days in a row was terrible. The worst part was how unwilling the staff was when asked if they can take a half hour brake as I was getting a heache from the loud noise so that I can leave the room, but was told that they are scheduled to work until 6pm and there is nothing they can do about it. I was not notified ahead of time of the noises and i did not feel safe during my stay. Would NOT recommend. The fact that they have no standards in place to help or protect the guests from such terrible environment means they don't care for their guests.

Room good, lots of hot water!! Lots of people!! Staff for the most part excellent and friendly, only one rude matre’d at the Italian restaurant who chewed us out when their beeper failed to work! He tainted the place as far as my husband was concerned! Buffet Food was not to our liking, meat and fish always overcooked or bland!! Steakhouse ribeye good flavor, hotdogs and hamburgers at PePe’s was the best, which says a lot!!! Beach beautiful but unfortunately purple flag for dangerous wildlife (jellyfish and crocodiles) was up 6 of the 7 days we were there, so missed out on ocean swimming!! Music at pool bar great the day we arrived, then all the rest were the same boom boom repeat crap! Asked them to change and they wouldn’t/couldnt! Met many folks who return regularly here but we will not be one of them! Overall had a okay/good time! Met many wonderful people! Weather was great and that’s what we came for!!

The food choices, for being in Mexico, I was hoping for an authentic Mexican food, instead there was everything but. And the food out by the pool was basic hotdog and hamburgers, I can get that where I live, when I go on vacation to another country I want the local food. The room; we could not close the blackout curtains all the way only the sheer Curtin, so it was so bright and also so loud in the room, closing the door didn’t even muffle the noise that was outside

My husband and I just got back last night from staying at Riu Vallarta. All in all, we loved it! Only one issue, really. The food was awful. No matter what restaurant you went to. But the service was great. Bartenders were amazing! All the staff was awesome. The rooms were so-so. The beds didn’t come with a comforter or duvet or anything but we had an extra blanket in the closet so whatever.
