I just came back from there last week and my thoughts were similar. They needed another bar by the beach. We pretty much just went to the bathroom in the ocean. It was more convenient. We were on the fifth floor at the end of one of the wings And we did a lot of stair climbing. It would have been great if they had some more elevators by the two ends of the building. The restaurants were way too busy and they only had three themed and we only went to the Italian one because that seemed to be the least busiest. The buffets were OK, but you only had the one late at night. The airport experience was horrible so I would definitely not go back to this resort, especially passing through that airport.

Regarding the food, does this RIU resort require you to eat lunch at the dine-in buffet restaurants? This is what we experienced at the RIU in Aruba, and would have preferred the option of having a separate grill adjacent to the pool for burgers, dogs, chicken, etc. This is what the RIU in Cabo had, which allowed guests to eat at their chairs at either the pool or beach. Also, do they have drink service at the beach?

What is you highest rating ever? I go to riu palace Pacifico almost every 6 months, but since it will be closed for the facelift, we’ll need to find something similar, what are my options?

Hi, excellent video. Do you know if the rooms with two double beds have room between them like two separate beds or is it like on large bed with room for 4? We have 2 adults and 2 kids and can't figure that out.
@Crysis33100 Жыл бұрын
Yes, there is a separator between them. Not sure if the beds are big enough for 2 kids as well. Couch? Sorry I can't be more help.

@Crysis331002 жыл бұрын
I have not given a ten yet, although in hindsight I should have given the RIU in Costa Rica a 10 and maybe the one in Cabo a 9. I'm a little stingy on my ratings!

great review!!, how much was the taxi from resort to Sayulita and back? we are in Sayulita prior to heading to Riu Pacifco and are looking for the best transfer. currently our Sayulita hotel is offering 72 usd for one way. seems high!
@Crysis331002 жыл бұрын
We paid about 100 US total return, BUT there was 6 of us, 2 or 3 should be much cheaper. Taxi's are basically one way thanks to the "Taxi Mafia" which prohibits them from driving you back. There are work-arounds but we couldn't be bothered. Pain in the a#$.

HI! We are two young adults looking to stay here at the beginning of March. We are wanting a fun, lively resort perhaps with some nightlife in the evenings. Is this the right place, or is it more of a relaxed atmosphere?
@brettgulliver17642 жыл бұрын
we are same - and we chose this one because it maybe a little more relaxing when we want that - with this resort you have access to the other two Jalisco (Night club) and Vallarta which are basically next door and little more crazy but not as nice. If you want both in one resort, suggest Hard Rock. but I prefer the Riu's
@Crysis331002 жыл бұрын
Definitely more relaxed, Would say this is not the place. Down the beach 15 min walk is the Riu Vallarta which is much more lively. Depending on your budget the Riu Jalisco is party central and much cheaper. You can stay at the Vallarta and go the the Jalisco whenever you want, and they are next door to each other.

We are going with a group of other adult couples. We all booked the swim-out rooms but now I’m wondering if ocean view will be obscured by the privacy walls. In your opinion, would a higher up ocean view room be better?

I’d recommend not going but if you do, pretty much every room can see the ocean. Just depends on how close or far you are. I just came back from this resort and got Covid here, go somewhere else, it’s very underwhelming.
