Beautiful property with extremely friendly staff. The view of the beach was amazing. There were events all throughout the day hosted by hotel staff, so we did not have to leave the resort for anything . They cleaned our rooms multiple times a day. Our minibar was always stocked. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for. Relaxing getaway.

Excellent hotel in a beautiful location. Food staff service and amenities were perfect . Only complaint total lack of a business center, not even a laptop to use in case of emergency. For 5 stars hotel ( Riu chain ) this needs to be improved.
