I stayed at Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay in mazatlan last year and we chose Riu because it is a new hotel and I wanted to try out. It was OK because since it is a new hotel, everything is new. However, because it is an all inclusive hotel, people don´t care about what they eat and drink around the pool.... more

The Riu is a beautiful hotel although it is very very massive! We stayed for three days from Friday the 16th to Monday the 19th before moving on to Pueblo Bonito Emerald Bay. We had a great time mingling with the locals--it was so fun and they are such friendly and gracious people. We never had an issue with the... more

My family had a great experience at this Riu. The pools were amazing. At the buffets there is definitely something for everyone. The rooms were nice, although you may see moths because they always have windows open there. I highly recommend the stage shows at night. They were great entertainment more

Before choosing the Riu Mazatlan, you need to decide what type of vacation you want. Depending upon your expectations, the Riu can be an inexpensive vacation, or it can be a vacation full of letdowns and disappointments. We chose the Riu because we wanted a vacation with no work and that’s what we got. In order to fully enjoy ourselves... more

My husband and I went to the Riu for our Honeymoon, from Oct 3-10 2009. The resort was all most empty (maybe 15% capacity?) so it was like our own tropical oasis for most of the week! Rooms: the rooms were wonderful, the actual room itself seeming on the small side until you see the massive washroom (complete with tub!)... more

First time to Mazatlan; fourth year now to Mexico's pacific coast. Sunday 11th to Sunday 18th with Sunquest Vacations; direct flights from Vancouver to Mazatlan. About ~30 persons arrived for Sunquest; we all took the same bus from the Airport (~40 minutes). We paid $1010 CDN each (taxes included) which we thought was an excellent price for a new 5*... more

An Honest Assessment As someone who finds the "it was the greatest (hotel employees posts)" or "it was the worst (some hyper sensitive Americans)" critiques annoying…Let me give you the honest truth about this place. About me: I have visited Mexico on numerous occasions and stated at other RIU resorts. Pros: The hotel has a magnificent structure that distinguishes it... more
