Hotel Riu Jalisco - All Inclusive
Everything was great, but it would be good to have restaurant's reservation as the waiting in the steakhouse was over an hour and a half so didn't get to eat there.

Hotel Riu Vallarta - All Inclusive
Just spent 10 days at the Riu Vallarta, my second visit to this resort …loved it as much the second time. Nothing negative to say about the staff or the overall resort as a whole. We did arrive with 24 persons in our party, all stayed at The Riu Vallarta, as we got married at Karen’s Place Restaurant ...
