My husband and I stayed May 11-15. Beach: Was awesome! We brought our own snorkels but forgot water shoes, you need them there are a lot of sea urchins! The snorkeling was great just outside of the swimming area, we went every day. The beach was fantastic, no seaweed in the swimming area. The Jerk Chicken Hut on the beach... More

I just spent a week at the Riu (May 11-18). We went down for a wedding. Let me just start by saying the beach there is absolutely, breathtakingly amazing. The sand is so white, no stones, well groomed, and LOTS of lounge chairs. There was 1600 people staying at the resort and we NEVER had a problem getting a chair.... More

The dancers were good along with the resident singers... More
