Expansive resort with multiple pool areas and ample amenities. Well staffed, dedicated to keep the facility extra clean and orderly. Staff was well trained and professional. Will visit this resort again in the future. One thing not so great was quality of food. They don't use quality meat for their food. But for someone who is particular about what they eat there are healthy and quality options such as vegetables and salads and breakfast items that are amply available. Overall, I would recommend it and will visit this resort again in the future.

I can start of by saying not a lot of options for breakfast or dinner You now have to make reservations which you have no option than to eat the same thing. I did leave the resort due to poor quality food. The sports bar that is open 24hours not good and the worst thing drinks at the pool were not good No pool party at all which made our trip not enjoyable at riu. Other than staff were amazing great customer service

The breakfast and dinner buffets were great. The lunch buffet was not. The Asian restaurant was excellent, the Italian restaurant was good, and the Mexican restaurant was bad. The pools were good but crowded, at times. The water park was fun. The beach is excellent and walkable, but the surf is too rough for safe swimming.

Es una opinion sincera el hotel esta bien, los cuartos. El mini bar no ya que usar las botellas de muy baja calidad, es como si te quedaras en un rio los mas ecomonicos. La Comida del buffet esta mas o menos pero si enfada ya que no cambia todos los dias es lo mismo, y la carne tiene una textura como de plastico. Es dificil agendar los otros restaurantes ya que siempre estan llenos pero la comida al igual es muy mala. Las bevidas son pues de lo mas corrientes, la verdad e visitado varios Riu, cancun, Los cabos. Puerto Vallarta y este es uno de los peores. El servicio de los chicos es muy amable pero la calidad de Bevidas y la comida la Verdad no lo es. Una disculpa pero es cierto.

INESCAPABLE BANDA The Riu staff is to be commended on being hard-working and friendly. For the first three days of our stay, we were able to hear the ocean waves from our 19th floor room balcony, enjoy the tranquil beach from a beach lounger and even peacefully take the sun from our balcony loungers. HOWEVER, after the first three days, we have one monumental complaint. The INESCAPABLE BANDA MUSIC was intolerable. On the fourth day of our stay through the seventh and last day, this music would start at around 2:00pm every afternoon and would not stop until after about 7:30 EVERY DAY. It was so loud that we could no longer enjoy our balcony to watch a peaceful sunset, to read a book, to converse or even relax. The music reverberated throughout the ENTIRE grounds of the hotel. We would even return to the room after sunset and have to play music on our cell phone to drown out the sound of the banda music that could be heard through the walls and sliding doors of our hotel room. The tuba and drum were particularly loud and many days TWO different bands would be playing different songs SIMULTANEOUSLY! This cumulative afternoon disruption had a negative effect on our stay in Mazatlán. We both speak fluent Spanish and recognize and respect cultural traditions and have traveled extensively throughout México and other Latin American countries and enjoyed every city and country that we have visited, but this banda music was INESCAPABLE and we will NEVER be returning to Mazatlán.

Everything was fine but for one thing. My wife is mobility challenged, can't do stairs or long distances without walking poles. We asked for an accessible room and were given one on the second floor. No elevator would ever stop on the second floor at meal times, going down. They always skipped right on by. We did go up to 18 or 20 some times so we were on the following down car. Even going up at meal times was hard. The elevator would load up at L:L and L and flash by us on 2 going upwards. I doubt that we would ever return to your hotel ourselves after this experience, but younger fit clients should have a great time!

We went for the eclipse. The property was great with multiple pools and dining facilities. The only complaint we have is there are not enough elevators. We are older 75/80 and having to walk up stairs a lot was a bit of a problem. Also the floors are often slippery due to cleaning and the tile surface, so my wife was afraid of falling

Hotel doesn’t support 5*, barely 3 . The room isn’t clean and kinda old, mole hangers in closet, brown old towels, no toiletries. I stayed in different hotels before from cheap to higher class, but all of them at least have shampoos, lotion and conditioner. My husband and I’ve been in shock. I’ve been expecting more from RIU. That’s why didn’t bring my own toiletries. The robe brought on second day or so after few times asking. Although, hotel provided robe only for rooms with jacuzzi. Really?? Food! There are much food, but taste same, most Mexican. Same with desserts. Very poor quality. While you eat, there always lady mopping around you. It’s no relax or so. Or sometimes waitresses can yell to other one cross to you. Oh…. When you out from restaurant, only few feet away smoke area, so you can go through and smell smoking. Guest most Mexicans with kids, so guest service provided for them…. There many pools, but no one warm. So, I would say , maybe it’s good for those local people, but not who likes European good service. I would never back there. Waste my time and money!
