We did a "last minute" trip a couple of years ago, and only paid $499 a person. When we got there, there were no regular rooms left, so we ended up getting a suite. It was the cheapest all inclusive we went on and the best. We have done a lot of all inclusives, and I would say the Rius... more

The hotel is extremely clean! And all staff are friendly and know you by name by the end of the week! Food was good, but only good. Loved the towel critters that are placed on your bed after housekeeping has cleaned for the day. I really can't complain about too much, just a few small things. There were no clocks... more

My husband and I stayed at the Riu Jalisco from Oct 17th through Oct 24th. This was a surprise for my husbands 50th birthday. What a mistake the hotel was overrun by locals being brought in by the bus loads. The kids running around was crazy ( not relaxing ) bad bad manners by the adults as well many of... more

We had a very good stay at this hotel but the cockroach on the floor the day we got there kind of disgusted us. The main entrance was very nice with the beaches showing off their stunning powers of sparkling waters and soft sand. overall i liked this hotel very much more

we stayed at Riu Jalisco Oct 10-17th 2009. While the hotel was bueatiful, our vacation experience was not. From the begining of our stay we learned to get to the breakfast buffet by 9am. If we arrived later, we probably ate on the stairs outside since both restaurants were completely full. They were running a local special 3 days 2... more

Stayed at the Riu Jalisco for a week on my honeymoon last November. Pros & Cons... Pros: Huge Resort Friendly Staff Beach is Big and you can always find chairs (There is a con to the beach as well) For All-Inclusive the meals were decent...sometimes it can go either way with AI, but all in all it was OK. If... more

We have stayed at the Riu Jalisco two times and have enjoyed it both times. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The food is good for an all inclusive. If you like sushi, I highly recommend the Japanese restaurant. The rooms are nice, nothing fancy, but we are typically in our room only to sleep and shower. At night... more

4 girls ages 25-30 spent one week at the hotel and had a blast. Different groups of people in the hotel from families to singles. Not crowded at all so you didn’t have to fight for a chair or stand in line for a drink. Just about right. We had 2 rooms next to each other and they were fine.... more

1st time doing the all-inclusive thing in Mexico. Chose RIU Jalisco because of the price point and recommendation by a friend. Went in the middle of Nov 2008 for 7 days. Check-in was a bit chaotic. Our flight came in after 10pm, so reception basically ushered us in, and left us on our own. There was no welcoming drink (which... more
