Oct 07, 2026An Unforgettable Experience
During my trip to Puerto Vallarta, I stayed at the Riu Vallarta Hotel. The hotel is located in front of the beach and offers an all-inclusive service 24 hours a day. My room was comfortable and spacious, and I really liked having a beautiful view. During my stay, I really enjoyed the pools and the beach, since the hotel has direct access to the sea. I also tried the food at the hotel’s restaurants. There were different food and drink options, so I was able to try different dishes during my stay. The staff was friendly and attentive.

Riu Vallarta never fails to be great
Two years ago my wife and I came for our honeymoon. We had such a great experience we knew we had to return. When we did two years later, it was just as great as it was the last time. We will definitely return again

Fantastic resort
My first time at a RIU and I’ll stay again! Check-in was smooth , room was clean fresh and comfortable! Service was excellent in all departments from the amazing bartenders to the waitstaff and grounds keeping. This place was beautiful everywhere you looked! So many plants and flowers all amazing and well taken care of. Food wasn’t always exceptional but it was always very good. Steak house and Italian restaurant were my favorite and the breakfast buffet was very good. Drinks were so good and if you want them stronger just ask for an xtra shot it’s as easy as that. Beach is beautiful and the sand is so good under the feet 🦶 I’m home now and honestly depressed to not be here anymore! I’ve stayed at many places in the vallarta area some bad some great. The RIU vallarta was right there with some of the better ! Shout out to Nayelli at the desk where you can reserve a Balinese bed at the beach! Shout out to Sara the hostess in the spa !!! If your not sure about staying here just go for it it’s a great experience

Oct 05, 2026Decent resort overall
Overall resort was good. My only complaint would be the pools were too warm and extremely dirty. The bottoms of the pool were covered in sand, and you can see large clumps of hair floating around and getting stuck on your body. The beach was also closed for the majority of our trip, which was mother nature at its finest. I guess the other thing too would be garbage is… The lack of. There should be one by every elevator on each floor.
