"Best hotel so far,we had fun. Everything is on point the food/drinks/services 10/10 minus nothing"
I would love to visit again Its a good gate away hotel All the facilities are the best I would recommend this hotel over n over again
"Just wowwww"
I all honesty, this resort is awesome. I was quite disappointed that I never got the chance to eat from other restaurants because all were fully booked on all four days of our stay. Additionally, I never received the perks that come with being a RIU class member like free transfers, massage etc. Other than that, I loved it! Everything is excellent! Well done
