"Me and my boyfriend stayed at Hotel Riu SFE for a week and it was amazing. We were nervous going into the trip as the reviews had shared that the food was “mid” however, I beg to differ. The food was delicious. There was a wide variety of food options available, Asian cuisine, Italian, American Country, Mexican, Steakhouse and a buffet with a mix of all kinds of foods. We didn’t try the steakhouse due to the wait times (15-30min-not crazy but we weren’t all that interested in steak when we have Alberta beef lol) but the Mexican restaurant was the best food we’ve ever had. The service was amazing, they are all very attentive, engaging and friendly. There’s 7 pools with 5 of them being swim up bars with the most creative and friendly bartenders. The beach was our favourite part. Although the current is strong we were still able to go in a few feet and feel the waves. The sellers on the beach can be overwhelming but they are very friendly if you respond kindly. The room itself was great, very clean and always stocked. The entertainment is amazing. We had watched an Abba theme and Michael Jackson show and both were unreal. The Riu entertainment staff are truly amazing and go above and beyond to make your vacation 10x better. There’s always an activity by the pool, whether it be water polo or dance lessons it’s always fun. Overall, our stay was a 10/10 and would highly recommend!"
