    Wonderful!

    Our stay at the RIU was great...the service was top notch, the view was fantastic and the amenities were great. The Valentine's Day dinner was amazing...RIU went above and beyond for the evening with a sax player and a a mariachi band and a great buffet. We will definitely stay at the RIU again.

    Morning Drinks

    Everything was great the only disappointment was I couldn't get a morning Bloody Mary. We couldn't even find a good bar close.
