Liked not having to make reservations for special dinners . The beach bars were awesome and that they brought out popsicles and ice cream to beach. Loved the coconut party. Loved playing the games on beach every day. EVERY worker was king, friendly, and hard working ! The bands were great. We LOVE Riu
