We went for a quick visit to the Riu to catch-up on some R&R. There were some good points and some not-so-good. I will start with the positive: The grounds are beautiful; well-kept and incredible botanicals. The front-desk staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. There were... more

The Riu Vallarta is a very nice place to vacation, Overall. The Puerto Vallarta airport is easy to travel thru, coming and going, as it is small, and the number of resorts in the area is not near what the Cancun/Riveria Maya has, so there is no confusion whatsover when you arrive or leave. The Riu Vallarta resort is always... more

We are an active mid-30’s couple. This is our 4th RIU and our second time in Puerto Vallarta. We went to RIU Jalisco 6 years ago. This time we brought our parents in their 60’s and 70’s. AIRPORT: Thanks so much for the Timeshare People warnings! They were much more aggressive than they were the first time we were there.... more

My girlfriend and I chose this resort because we had stayed at two other RIU resorts previously in Cancun and Dominican Republic. Being extremely satisfied with the other two resorts we knew we would be pleased with this resort, and we were right! Service: From the time we arrived to the day we left, all of the staff was extremely... more

OK first the warning. The RIU entertainment staff will sleep with anyone. Once the booze starts flowing they will take advantage of any girl they see as a target regardless of age. One even shared with me that they have weekly contests amongst each other as to how many women they can sleep with. STAY AWAY from these guys at... more

My wife and I (and 2 other couples) stayed at the Riu Vallarta for 5 nights. It was our 1st all inclusive, compared to 2- 7 day cruises we have been on. We were very impressed with the hotel. Very clean, beautiful grounds, great pool area, never had to look far for 6 chairs near pool, or ocean. Great weather... more

I know I am a day late and a dollar short on submitting this review. I started it last summer but didn’t finish it up till now. Anyway here it is. My Wife and I vacationed at the Riu Vallarta from August 5th – 12th 2007. This was our first time staying at an AI and our first trip to... more

Returned yesterday from 2 weeks holiday at the Riu. I had also read very negative reports on Trip Advisor but they proved to be untrue. After a 12 hour flight we were met by our rep (luckily we were warned on the plane about the time share sharks in the airport) and we were soon on our way directly to... more

This hotel was very helpful in attending our needs. Orginally we had booked 2 rooms with 3 people for our trip. When we arrived there was a mix up with the rooms and we got 2 rooms with 2 king size beds. The Manager TANYA helped us out by UPGRADING our rooms to a JR SUITE. JR SUITE came with... more
