The room was clean and stocked with drinking water. Not much has changed since I stayed in this property before Covid. The staff was attentive and helpful. The food in the bar was a let down. The staff had issues keeping up with the orders. The food quality was not great. The staff did the best they could and corrected mistakes the best they could.

The first night you arrive, you will not be able to book any of the speciality restaurants; however, you can always ask if there have been any cancellations. Though if you are staying at the Riu and not looking for a gastronomic revelation, you could avoid the specialty restaurants and stick with the buffet and be fine - you won’t miss much. For those who are booking this place to not have to pay Atlantis prices, know that Atlantis has locked down their property. Guests from outside the resort can only go as far as the casino without paying. When cruise ships dock and the travelers arrive at Atlantis, it can get very crowded. Don’t miss the shows! The dancers are really good and the shows are quite entertaining. The Riu should invest in a good sound person, the sound near the stage is deafening, while it is hard to hear spoken word near the bar. It’s still a good time with endless drinks! The Riu is basically a place to disconnect and recharge - not a lot on offer as far as entertainment but the view is spectacular and the proximity to a wonderful beach is priceless. I would add that they could do a better job at policing careless adults who smoke while in the pool and flick their ashes in the water. There are designated smoking areas but the pool is not one of them. Not this is the Riu’s fault but while we were there, someone had a bowel movement in the bar pool and it had to be shut down for a few hours while they cleaned it. Needless to say, did not swim in it!

Although this property was a little older, it was extremely clean, very well maintained! I didn’t think we needed a washer and dryer in our unit, but we absolutely did! Everything stays very moist because of the humidity, so none of the swimsuits would ever dry. Having the washer/dryer really came in handy to get all swimsuits washed and dried when we got back to the room. Love that our hotel was walking distance to the grocery store. Javi g a kitchen in our room was perfect for the kids! The sleeper sofa was also great quality. Our cleaning lady was nice and respectful as well as all of the staff. The main bellman (not the manager but the one who does everything) he was awesome! Always made sure we had a car, greeted us everytime we came down for the shuttle, he was very helpful! The shuttle run pretty much every 5 minutes. One of my fav details was the pool overlooked the ocean. If you don’t want to go to the waterpark and just want a more relaxing pool day, this pool was the best for a family in my opinion. It had a cute little kids area with splashing buckets as well as a bar for mom and dad! This property was perfect! I would stay again.
