“Currently staying here… it’s just ok. I’ve been to many all-inclusive hotels in Mexico. As usual most have pros & cons…pros: all of the staff we encountered is fantastic. From bartenders, to the activities. The servers were nice, however I felt there wasn’t enough of them so it took them forever to get a drink or check up on us at our table. Lots of pools to choose from. Beach is nice and clean. Rooms are neat and clean, as is the whole property. The staff work really hard at keeping it this way day & night and it is appreciated! Buffet food is good.Cons: considering it is Covid, I thought there would be less people. I’ve been to hotels prior to Covid that didn’t have this many people! There isn’t enough staff for this many people. There is lines everywhere.. from bars to restaurants. There are no reservations for dinner, SUCKS! We have tried for multiple nights now to get a table and went at various times, waited OVER waiting time, and still couldn’t get seated. really isn’t fair considering how much we paid for 5 nights, and we’re stuck with the buffet every night. Desserts taste artificial. VERYYY kid friendly. Even though we have a baby, I feel like you couldn’t go into any space or pool without children running into you. Activities during the day are loud in the pool and tend to run very long. Last but not least, the rooms are extremely LOUD. We have a kid and I understand people are here to have a good time, but screaming down the halls at MIDNIGHT? Sounds like our door is open, that’s how much you hear everything.They also lack things to do. The kids show is very late, so for someone who has kids 1. Too late for my kid and 2. The adults show is too late (9:30) for us to stay and watch the whole thing. There is only 2 shops…. No coffee shops, ice cream shops, etc like most resorts have. We asked to leave and walk around outside or to the next resort, they told us we couldn’t. We asked if there was a city nearby, they stated closest was Cancun which is 45+ mins away. It’s also a very far drive from the airport if you booked through Apple and didn’t pay for private transportation… (1 1/2 hours).”

“Went for a friend’s wedding to the 5 star Dunamar.I won’t comment on the catastrophe they endured so I will only speak on what I experienced.Arriving late, the only food option was their 24 sports bar that consisted of day old left overs, something one doesn’t expect from a 5 star resort.The restaurants are good but only open every second day, so if you aren’t in line 15 mins before opening (6:30pm for most) you are waiting 1 hour and a half as they do not take reservations.But there’s always the buffet.I’m paying to stay at a so called 5 star resort, I don’t want to be relegated to the buffet because the restaurants are only open half of the time.We were told that there was room service but there wasn’t.As for the front management staff...If these people are what the Riu Experience is about then shame on the Riu Corporation, as apoints members I will never return to any of your properties based on my experience.The manager Luis Chavez should be removed from his position or severely retrained.Every word we were told were lies and staff tried to extort us at every opportunity.From being told we could have late check outs as we were leaving 5-6 hours after check out.Confirmed all week that was available then the day we leave it is not due to 100 people at first then ended up being more later on making the resort 100% booked.As we were checking out they attempted to extort one couple for money as they “dirtied towels”.Yes folks, beware when you use your towels because they will attempt to charge you for dirtying the towels.Since there was no late checkouts, we were told to place our bags in their “secured room” when we came back hours later, the door was unguarded and wide open so anyone could take our bags.As I said, front desk staff and management was poorly disorganized, dishonest and overall rude.Buffet needs to work on replenishing the food during servicebut overall it was good.Now to the good things about the resort..Cleaning staff was always on point and the resort looked fairly clean the majority of the time.If you are able to get into any of the restaurants, the steakhouse was really good.The beach was beautiful and there was plenty of beach chairs available.In all, the Riu Dunamar has a lot to work to do to actually deserve that 5 star rating they boast.It is really a 3 star at best.I only gave the 2 stars based on the beach and it’s cleanliness.Based on the actions of the front desk staff I will not be returning to any Riu properties in the future.”
