First of all, the staff was great, the rooftop bar had an amazing view. Here are the issues, they charge a few pesos for outside people to come in so the small pool in the hotel is over packed to the point that the costumers staying in the hotel can not enjoy it. The room keys are always failing, I stayed for 6 days and replaced my keys 5 times, management know of this issues and would tell you not to place the card within 2 feet of your phone, so for you that have phone is going to become an issue. The hotel is priced like it’s exclusive but good luck finding a place at the rooftop bar because once again anyone can access it. So I’ll recommend you stay at a different hotel and access the bar like everyone from the outside.

I have stayed at the RIU several times and I love the brand. This location was my worst experience and I would not recommend staying here in fact I would avoid this property at all costs. I came in from Canada early am and what they fail to share online is this property is shared with the public of Guadalajara. What makes the experience so disappointing is I payed for the room and they would not let me use the pool. They had sold the pool out to Spring Breakers as a spring break package. The pool was averun with like a 100 people it would have been impossible to get in the pool. What also made things dissapointing is the Hotel was booked out so there was no need to share the Hotel with the local public. Second the rooftop 360 Bar is also shared with the public and they the security almost didn’t let me in I payed for the hotel room I should of been able to go to rooftop and enjoy the experience. I had to literally argue with the staff to let me go up to the rooftop patio Resteraunt and enjoy the facility. On top of all that they wanted to charge me 500 pesos to use use the rooftop Bar I was with my fiancé and I flat out refused to pay because I was a guest at the Hotel. Summarization this was a terrible experience and has made me question staying at this Brands facility. The RIU Hotel manager has to come up with a major decision either turn this place into a public park or make it an exclusive facility for Hotel paying guests. I was disappointed and felt ripped off
