“Not a bad place to stay but not a lot of choices for dining around the area unless you want to pay tourism prices. We found the food at the hotel to suffice just perfectly and it was very reasonable. We did eat at the local Fish Fry (Twin Brothers) and were later told locals get mostly fish with a side of rice and plantains whereas we had a small piece of scrap fish with a ton of rice…..that’s how tourists get treated which was disappointing. ”

“If you enjoy an all inclusive resort vacation, odds are you'll have a good time at the Riu.
A few things to keep in mind. There are only a few bars on site and only 1 available in the evening.
It's a smaller resort. Which is lovely if you don't want to feel surrounded by people.
The staff were incedible. Helpful and fun.
The buffet was quite good. Lots of options.
The area is amazing. Safe to go for a stroll off site.
You may find the rooms in need of a little TLC. But overall, they are...

“Great place by the water with some nice all-iclusive choices. Superb pizza daytime. Tricky with restarants choices only a few days in advance in the morning when you go on early tours before the booking opens. Bars are a bit boring and have too few seats.
Central for boat tours and island ferries.
Rooms are nice and practical with desk for work. Views are great. ”

“O Resort é muito bom, tudo como nas fotos.
Tivemos apenas alguns “contratempos” com uma atendente do bar da praia que simplesmente nos tratou mal por sermos brasileiros, ainda disse para a colega, que esses são brasileiros, o restante não conseguimos entender….”

“We had a very bad experience with the arrogant transfer lady on site. We wanted to be at least 2.5 hours earlier at the airport due to personal reasons. Jody the agent did not care. It was impossible to talk to her in a good manner. We called customer service and they was okey to give us an earlier transfer and booked it, we got confirmation online. When it was time for transfer the next day no one showed up. We had then to take taxi and payed 25 dollar for it”

“This was my first time at an all inclusive resort and although it’s not my thing I have to say that I had a great experience. The place itself is gorgeous, and it’s evident that it is brand new as everything is in mint condition. Food was good and breakfast was excellent. Pools and beach are amazing, big ups for serving drinks using premium alcohol!! Gym was really good for being a hotel gym. Lastly, super service from everyone in the staff!”

“Just returned from 5 days at Royal Sonesta and I have nothing but good things to say. It’s a very clean & beautiful property. Staff was very friendly & helpful. I really loved the pool area. I would definitely return.”
