Good hotel to stay in price wise but be warned there is no decent food available after 9:30 PM. Kitchen closes at 9:30PM and you are left with nachos, popcorn, hotdogs, hamburger or cold sandwiches. There is a microwave in the case you want to microwave your food. If you want to go on any tours you must checkout Geckotico... More

My best friend and I stayed at the Riu from 05/04/13 thru 05/11/13. This was the best trip!! The hotel was amazing! and so was the service.

The room safe would not lock properly and the manager was in our room in an instant to evaluate and it was fixed within ten minutes. She also made reservations over her phone... More

The only complaint I have is that the beds are too stiff but... More

Okay so, let me start by saying I am an avid researcher. I won't travel anywhere until I do hours of research to ensure that I am getting what I really want. My boyfriend and I have been dating a year and a half, and wanted to get away together for the first time. He wanted to go somewhere different... More

Then we decided to rent a car, and agent at the airport told as that the price would be $10 a day. We were so glad and decided to go ahead with the rental. When we got to the rental... More
