You got everything right!! No complaints. When I stayed at the Hyatt Hotel and someone said to me that their breakfast was the best ever, I said let me be the judge of that! Well to the person that asked me that question. No Hotel Riu has even the Hyatt beat by a long shot!! Thank you for your hospitality and great staff!! I was totally impressed and pleased!

Friendly and professional staff, gorgeous pool and the meals were excellent. My only dislikes were, the extractor fan in the washroom was not working and this caused a foul odor to linger in the bathroom. Also we were two rooms away from the elevator on the 17th floor and at nights there were loud noises from persons coming off the elevator.

The rooms smell of mold and mildew as though the property has water damage. As soon as you exit the elevator onto your floor, there’s an overwhelming smell of wetness, like mildew. The staff was amazing and super accommodating, though. They brought us a humidifier to our suite for the length of our stay, and it helped tremendously.

There are several shopping area. My husband and I used the metro system to shop at the Allbrook mall. (Twice) it is huge and has many stores similar to Target, shoe stores in US, etc. great level 3 for food court. There is another mall within Walking distance called Metropolis. Some stores are closed but don’t let that stop you. The third mall is brand new and massive. Higher prices but designer level products. Take an Uber -super cheap
