Room was very spacious with a gorgeous ocean view! The beach is large and there’s always loungers available. It’s nice that this resort is located away from all the other hotels, restaurants, bars, etc… Very relaxing!
Clean rooms, very friendly and hard working staff.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Food was great! Staff was excellent and friendly. All requests were taken care of expeditiously.
Rooms were dated and the shower is in need of upgrade badly, but was functional.
Awesome stay in emerald bay .
Also stayed at riu Vallarta and riu Costa Rica in the past.
Always a great time with top notch service ,lots to do and fantastic food.
We enjoyed our stay! Staff were friendly, resort was clean and rooms were excellent including the amenities and showers. Activities were plenty and so was entertainment. We should definitely come back.
Everything was very good. The main building that we stayed in is kind of old but still nice. The food wasn’t as good as the food at the resorts in Puerto Vallarta. The night club and water slide park are very cool things that we enjoyed. Staff was all excellent and helpful with anything we needed as usual.
