Lovely friendly hotel, grounds full of wildlife, very hardworking staff and everywhere kept very clean. Varied evening entertainment and lively bar area. Plenty of choice of food and nice to be able to go to the a la carte restaurants without having to book.

The hotel and the staff were all very courtious and friendly. Nothing was a problem for them, very willing to help out with any queries. The bar and staff were fabulous too. Thanks Santos. Our room 3111 was spacious, clean and comfortable. The room maid kept our room clean and changed towels etc whenever required. The pools and areas were kept clean with plenty of sun loungers to go round. We could not fault anything about this hotel and staff. A fabulous time had by all.. It was really good to see the hotel manager almost daily making inspections and talking to customers. He was all over the place, down the beach, in the resturants and round the pool areas, a very fastidious and respectful person.

My thanks to the staff of the Riu Lupita for a wonderful week away. The benefit of Riu Lupita, in my opinion, is a visitors has the quality of the Riu resort experience in a in a smaller, more affordable, package. There is a one main pool and smaller quiet pool, one bar, one buffet dining room, and three other restaurants (one of which is at the beach). However, there was always space around the pool, wait times are short at the bar and the resort never felt crowded. There is a bus to a beautiful dedicated beach area for the Lupita only 15 minutes away and with another bar and buffet style lunch and snacks. We didn't mind hoping on the bus and not having direct access as this added to the variety of the experience. Everything was kept very clean and the staff were…

Loved our week. Always chairs available at the pool and beach due to the fact you must take a shuttle to go. However, I would have like more music at the beach during the day and at the resort during day and night at the bar.

Actually staying at this hotel at the moment, felt I had to comment as I am sat by the pool reading reviews that are totally inaccurate the staff are all very efficient the housekeeping is of a good standard the food is absolutely fine. If people can't review honestly they should not bother to review at all. I personally like the birds and animals around the grounds and have not been bothered by them. All in all this is a very nice hotel and I would recommend it to anyone

We are worldwide seasoned travellers from the UK and took a small gamble on the Riu Lupita due to the favourable price. The hotel is officially a 5 star, however TUI rate it at a 3 star and I will explain why. The hotel itself is very clean and the staff work tirelessly hard in keeping it that way. It has around 300 rooms so relatively small for Mexico hence the lack of a few luxuries. The main pool area is very nice but can get very loud once the entertainment kicks in!! There is however a quiet pool a short walk away to chill out and escape the bedlam. The only issue there is that there's no bar or toilets as everything is geared up for the main pool. We personally used the beach every day. The clientele at the hotel isn't the best, gangs of young lads, girls etc…

During my recent trip with a friend, we had a horrendous experience at what was supposed to be a 5-star resort. The room was infested with cockroaches – a total of five. The reception staff added to our dissatisfaction with their rudeness and lack of courtesy. For instance, during check-in, the receptionist failed to explain the resort's facilities, and during check-out, we received no inquiry about our stay and were left to handle our luggage unassisted. Beach towel issues further contributed to our discontent. The hotel's policy of fining guests for misplacing cards or towels seemed absurd for a purported 5-star resort. Additionally, the restriction of one towel per day, with no allowance for exchanging wet beach towels for dry pool ones, was inconvenient. Even upon…

worst hotel stay of my life! please avoid at all costs!!! room had loads of cockroaches, racoons everywhere in the resort stealing your food, rude reception staff, facilities & food terrible, and resort not even close to the beach! not sure how they even got 5*? the rudest reception staff i have ever met in my life: upon arrival did not even explain anything about the resort. when we complained about the cockroaches in the room they dismissed it by saying 'its normal we had to open a hole on the garden' - not even a single apology. the food was terrible and the resort is far away from the beach. please dont stay here!
