Our stay at the Hotel Riu was excellent. The staff was very professional and accommodating. The breakfast buffet had a great selection. The rooftop bar was a great atmosphere. We'll definitely return to stay again.
Staff very friendly, more than willing to help and/or assist in any way. Beautiful hotel, love LOVE the roof top bar and patio. BEST buffet breakfast I've had in a very long time. I will definitely be booking with this hotel chain again!
