“The best family Resort”

The best family resort in Mexico. I highly recommend. All of restaurants and rooms are good. Front beach hotel. Thank you

We went to the Hotel Riu Flamingos for one week to celebrate my brother’s wedding. We were so pleased with how accommodating and pleasant each and every staff member was. The staff at Riu definitely made our stay the most enjoyable resort stay we have ever experienced! Our room was immaculately clean, and we had requested to be on the bottom floor for ease of access to outside for our 2 year old, and to be near our family members staying in other rooms. Both of our requests were met :) The hotel grounds are beautiful and small repairs, upgrades, and deep-cleaning were being made routinely so you can tell the hotel will continue to be spectacularly clean and well cared for. The nightly entertainment was awesome, and the access to the beach was great. My son LOVED the splash park and kids pool area! We loved how a family-pool (which is directly below the splash park) sidled up to the tiki-taco and burger lunch area. So easy to just relax and enjoy your stay! There is a perfect array of restaurant choices, with delicious food, and the buffet had everything you could wish for. Thank you, Hotel Riu Flamingos for providing such a memorable experience for our young family!

Riu Jalisco was great and we will definitely be booking again. We stayed in the new building closer to the pools and beach. No elevators but we had a ground level room. Room was very clean. Only slight complaint was the auto-lighting in the bathroom; it would not turn off for a few mins and would shine through the shower window into the bedroom. They state that the fridge is only re-stocked every other day, we had no issues, water was always restocked to 5 large bottles. Amenities checked and cleaning was done daily. Our room was behind the main theatre stage. Did not have any complaints about the noise from the theatre. I was expecting it would be bothersome during the evening, but it was barely noticeable. Food was standard for a Riu resort, nothing spectacular but consistent. Alot of fresh fruit at the buffet and also at the poolside snack bar. I appreciated the labelling in the buffet, each dish will tell you what possible allergens there are, very helpful if you have food sensitivities/allergies. Being a full family resort, my expectation was that it was going to be overrun with children, but it did not feel like that at all. We were also there just after Spring break so maybe less families there at that time. Even so, the pool area layout and placement of the children’s area was great. Poolside, there were always a lot of chair/loungers available. After having been to other resorts where I had to get up before 7am to reserve chairs, this was nice. There was daily entertainment and exercise classes at the pool. There was live music a few of the days, which was nice and different from the usual DJ. There wasn’t any poolside drink service. Maybe this is standard at a Riu family resort? I’m not sure but I found it odd, I haven’t been to an all-inclusive where there wasn’t drink service to the pool loungers. The bar always had a long line-up for drinks. Chairs on the beach were just as numerous but there were no umbrellas. Beach vendors were renting them out for 30-50$ USD per day. There was a small market right next to the resort selling souvenirs. The beach vendors are everywhere but I didn’t find them aggressive. You can visit the associated property just down the beach, Riu Vallarta. You can use their pools and eat lunch in the buffet, but only lunch, not breakfast or dinner or the a la cart restaurants. It was nice to have access and have reference if we ever were going to consider staying there. We only ate lunch there once; the buffet food was about the same as Riu Jalisco. It was my partner's birthday during the trip, we did not say anything at check-in, but it looks like they noticed and they left a small treat and birthday note in the room on his birthday. We weren't expecting anything but very nice that they noticed.
