I've been to this property in two separate occasions in 2019 and 2022. The property has changed a lot. Everything is beautiful, but when you look at certain things again, like fans just to give a simple example, you can tell they haven't cleaned them in years. The major problem at this Riu is the food. It is inedible. The food was so bad that my family including my kid had food poisoning which basically ruined the entired vacation. The amenities are great, but if you can't trust the all-inclusive food and it will actually make you sick, then it doesn't matter how beautiful or how nice the administrators of this hotel are to you. They should have given us a return of our money given that that thanks to their awful food we weren't able to enjoy our stay. I hope they can go back to how they were in terms of food. You can also tell some of the pools were dated and required attention.

In overall we had a great vacation. The food was great and surprisingly food at the buffet was better than at the restaurants. Rooms was clean ( except we killed several cockroaches). Towels and bedsheets were worn out and yelloish color. Hard to find shade on beach
