The smell when you walk in smelled so good. The whole hotel was clean. Service was incredible. Maybe it just needs more night events. Overall everything was excellent

The nightly entertainment was great especially the MJ show. Booking specialty restaurants was trying. Only got through once. The parties and party area are a bonus. The general layout, facilities, cleanliness, staff and activities were very good. Would recommend to others. Would be good to have a small medical bay with basics in case of med needs.

We stayed at the hotel for five days but we’re not happy. It’s all inclusive hotel but you have very limited option for food and drinks was OK room service was very bad Menu was very short and just a sandwich you can order and all the restaurants at the hotel. They have same food as the buffet and lunch buffet food wasn’t Edible. We are not happy for stay at Riu Peninsula.

Nice and friendly staff. They let us check in 3 hours early. Food was decent. They have several specialty restaurants that open for dinner. The rooms were decent. Alcohol dispenser and mini fridge in the room were a plus. The bed is not very soft and the room was w a little warmer that I prefer. Also the cover on the bed is equivalent to two sheets. Nice pools. The RIU foam / pool parties are FUN!

I would have given a 5 star in all aspects to this hotel, but reception staff can be a little rude and insensitive to some guests. On the day that I arrived, I noticed a guest was trying to ask a simple question and the staff member completely shut her down. I understand there were other guests in front of her but it definitely could have been handled differently. All other staff members of this hotel that I came across with were super friendly and helpful. Thumbs up to them for making our stay memorable and relaxing.

Stayed here for a week with a small baby. From the positive: cleaning lady was truly the best! She did amazing job and made towel animals every day for my baby. Servers at the restaurants, bars, beach - truly amazing! Thank you for making my vacationing with a small baby easier, she loved all of the guys and gals! Beach - beautiful, clear water, soft sand, no sea weed; you have to ask for an umbrella, but the guy will bring it to you in a minute. What I didn't like: The front desk people aren't very attentive. I much rather ask other staff for help, if needed. In room food service - no options whatsoever! And options they had were not tasty. Coffee always watered down and lukewarm. Food - I'd say it was just okay. For dinner it seemed like there were plenty of options, but barely anything good to eat. For lunch - it was just horrible (salty, fatty, all kept outside, so guacamole was always bad and veggies were all soft from heat)! From the restaurants we went to Mexican and that was awful. Decided not to go to another restaurant since having bad Mexican food in Mexico is extremely disappointing. No outside play area for the kids, haven't seen any kid groups outside lead by staff like in other hotels. Extremely loud almost all of the time. If you are looking for a peaceful vacation this hotel isn't it. There is day and night entertainment, the music is loud and not the best. Every night until 11pm you can't even go out on the balcony to enjoy the evening; music is
