Magnificent, impressive structure, awesome pools, many options. Restaurants all excellent, buffets superb, rooms nice, clean, comfortable. Entire staff, through out the all inclusive property was outstanding, friendly, courteous, helpful and did their best to engage us in our own language. It is evident that RIU values their employees and spends a considerable amount of time and effort in quality staff training. Absolutely no complaints!
