Motels in Mexico and Central America

"Food and drinks were great. Staff was great for the most part. The place needs some attention!! Our room had mold all over the shower ceiling. The resort was probably pretty nice earlier in its existence, but it's pretty rough now. We had to was our clothing three times to get the mildew odor from everything. Obviously we had become nose blind to the odor after a couple days in the room. "

"Staff very attentive "

"Beautiful iconic hotel in midst of numerous historic sites, restaurants and shops all in walking distance. All of the staff are very attentive and friendly. There is a roof top restaurant with beautiful views. Our room and the entire hotel were very clean. Definitely recommend. "

"No added value"

"It’s run down. Not the star rating it’s advertised as. Feels dingy, carpets are super old. Very over priced. Exposed wires under the bathroom sink. They gave us complimentary drinks which they then tried to deny. I had to get the bar manager over to finally get it fixed. I also left my jacket behind accidentally and trying to get it back has been like trying to move heaven and earth. Unresponsive staff. "

"Great location, near everything at walking distance. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, in a beautiful historical building. "

"Amazing location, interior and staff!"

"Average"

"We’ve been to 3 separate RIU locations and this was by far our least favorite. However, I think this is a case of you get what you pay for and realizing this is more of a younger demographic party resort. The rooms are very basic and outdated. The themed restaurants are only open for dinner whereas at other RIUs they are open for lunch as well. Otherwise you are stuck with the buffet, which was lacking more costly items like seafood. I really missed the piles of shrimp, mussels, crab, etc that were at other RIU buffets, or the larger seafood plate offerings even at the restaurants (more than just a skewer of shrimp on your steak). You had to take a 10 min shuttle (it was free though!) to go to and from every themed RIU party located at an affiliated RIU. Sadly no room service was available, and no Café with pastries. A lot of this makes sense since the main customers we came across were younger college kids clearly just coming to party, who may not care so much about these amenities. Nonetheless… The view from our room was beautiful, we loved viewing the lighthouse across the way each night, the beach was nice and clean for swimming, and the shows and activities at the resort were very good. The staff were friendly, accommodating, and pretty attentive to the unruly overly-intoxicated kids. Unfortunately we ran in to too many of those during our stay and less 34+ year olds like ourselves. Overall, it was a clean pretty well kept resort & we had a nice time soaking up the sun. "
