Our family enjoyed the stay. The food was basic and the adults wished for a bit more of a local cuisine option but the kids were very happy.

Apart from that male waiter/bartender who works in the American Country restaurant who was extremely rude to the guests, the hotel was pretty good. Nice entertainment, food and lots of activities to do.

Staff were very helpful and property/gardens/beaches were extremely well maintained. The restaurants were excellent with a wide range to choose from. Our excursions were on point with amazing guides. I would definitely recommend this RIU Resort to everyone (family, friends etc).
