Overall, very nice. Rooms were spacious and clean. Very difficult to get into the restaurants. We were told multiple times, they had over 1 hour wait. Very frustrating.

Great service and clean facilities. The entertainment and food was very good value and a very enjoyable experience. Only issue was with check in, very very long and with errors and sent me to wrong room then en up charging for a child which we thought was in reservation. Not sure we will return.

The beach is beautiful and swimmable. They have some palm trees for shade but you can always rent an umbrella for about $15 for the day. The adult pool was fun. The food was not my favorite but doable. We had no issues getting into the specialty restaurants and food was decent. The neon party at RIU Jalisco was so much fun.

The property was well kept and the buffet was better than most RIU I have been too. The restaurants are walk- in and waiting only and no reservations.

This is our second time in this hotel. They have the best beach access. Food selection is great and restaurant area is very clean. However, I can't recommend it for service. It used to be better. Unless you tip, meaning you have to carry money everywhere, you get no service. You're literally ignored or shown that you're the least priority. Old, disgusting beach towels, that you can't switch up during the day. No service on the beach. A lot of random people in the beach area that it doesn't feel safe anymore. 10 boogie boards for the whole hotel filled with kids...ridiculous.
