The hotel was older then the other Riu hotels in the area as well as being rated the lowest star (4). We did enjoy the fact that it was a quieter atomosphere. The hotel was okay for someone who uses it as just a bed to sleep in. There was only one bar that was not located in the hotel (past the pool) as well as only one pool (no swim up bar). Th mini fridge was stocked every 2 days and there was a liquor dispenser in the room (rum, vodka, gin, brandy). There was a store in the lobby, but it was closed one night at an earlier than posted time and it did not open till later the next day (so don't rely on it for cigs, medicine, etc). The beach was a little bit of a walk and for most excursions guests had to walk to a meeting place. If you get a good deal it is not the worst place you could find yourself at.
The staff were outstanding. (Rafael, Carlos, Alexander, Oscar, Abraham)
