This is an amazing property with very nice staff, especially the guys from the buffet some of them were exceptional. If u r traveling with kids n dont no Spanish dont think about taking ur little kids to the RIU Land, the guy there were very rude and racial. He leave my kids standing while placing all the other kids in a seat. When i ask if my kids cant take part, he ask if i want dem to, like really?? Y i took dem there in the 1st place? He ruined my entire day, i just pick up my kids n walk out of the play place. Other than that lots of entertainments for adult and the food was very good, healthier side.

Loved the amenities, location and vibes of this hotel. Extremely clean and the outdoor landscaping and pool areas were very well maintained. Only area of improvement is the food, it was just OK. The restaurants didn’t have many options to choose from and the quality was just ok. The buffet seemed to have better options. Overall, great vacation here!
