The Riu Vallarta by far is one of the best hotel resorts in Puerto Vallarta/Nuevo Vallarta! I've read some of the negative reviews and I can't believe what they say. We were a total of 5 guests and not one of us had a single complaint, the hotel staff provided excellent service and we're ready at a moments notice to... more

We booked 2 weeks at Riu Vallarta through Thomsons for June 2008. First impressions were great as we arrived and check in was performed like a military operation - within 10 minutes us and our baggage were in our room on the 5th floor. If only the room had been cleaned and ready it would have been wonderful!However, within 5... more

Overall very good. My wife and I are from western Canada and we very much enjoyed the vacation. We stayed in a standard room that was along one of the rear legs that also had partial view of the ocean. We stayed one week from Aug-23 to 30th. This was our 2nd Mexico all inclusive (Mayan Riviera Apr-06). We opted... more

We stayed at the RIU Vallarta from Aug 23 to Aug 30th. I like many people was worried about all the terrible reviews I had read, after staying there I can see some of what they were talking about. The best I can do is tell you about our experience. Check in and the room: Before we arrived at the... more

I wanted to take my daughter on a trip for her graduation from high school. I went to my travel agent and was told she was planning a charter to Puerto Vallarta. My friend and I signed up and took our daughters. We paid extra for a Junior suite with the travel agent before our trip. It was only $60... more

We booked this hotel for a 9 night stay through Orbitz, and I was horrified with the service we received. The hotel is sub-standard overall. The rooms are clean enough and spacious (we had a junior suite) but the beds are incredibly hard. Our toilet was broken off and on for our entire stay and no one would do anything... more

I told the group we went with that I would come home and write a review. I am not sure about how picky some poeple are; however, we were more than pleasantly surprised. First of all we got an amazing deal! We were there for 5 days (Aug 14-18). The trip cost 620.00 a couple! (get your best price, then... more

Please take the time to read this review, apologies that it is so lengthy! Have just returned from this resort, Rui Vallarta, which we booked from 2 - 16 August with friends to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. My husand and I have stayed in this area on and off for the past 14 years or so and have always... more

We stayed at the Riu Vallarta from 8/9 - 8/16. First of all, Nuevo Vallarta is a beautiful area. It's so unique with the mountains and beach/ocean. The weather was wonderful, with sunshine during the day and thunderstorms at night. Now to the resort.... Check in and check out were a breeze, and we did not have any problems or... more
