We just got back from Riu Jalisco on 7/6/09. We were a bit concerned before we left due to the violence and Swine Flu that has been reported but not quite gone away. I have stayed at Riu in Cancun and thought that the food and service qualities of all Riu resorts are the same. Well, they are somewhat the... more

We had 11 family members very excited to take a girl's trip to Puerta Vallarta, a place we'd never visited. When we arrived they didn't have our rooms or names even registered for five rooms and we had booked by March 1. After a bit of wait, we received the rooms, well, apparently three of the rooms were rooms not... more

My boyfriend and I were looking for an inexpensive, leisurely holiday, and we definitely found it at the Riu Jalisco. Being the off season, our stay in Nuevo Vallarta was super affordable and especially for the price, we had a great experience. The room was clean, comfortable and colourful and the A/C and fan worked very well, but the lack... more

Finally, I am getting to this review, two months after we arrived home. It’s very long and detailed, but a worthwhile read. This was our second trip to an All-Inclusive resort in Mexico. We have previously stayed at the Barcelo Tropical in the Mayan Riviera, and we have also travelled to many destinations that were not All-Inclusive. On April 18,... more

We are a younger couple (37 and 34) that decided to take our familly to the Riu Jalisco at a co-workers's advice. The hallways echoed all through the resort. When someone spoke three floors away, it sounded like they were right in your room. The shower has no doors, just some courtains The eating situation sucked. The one to two... more

We stayed at the RIU Jalisco from April 28 to May 4, 2009. It was supposed to be until May 5 but I will explain that later. It was the first time we were taking our kids to Mexico and we wanted them to have a special, safe time. My wife and I stayed at the RIU Vallarta last summer... more

My husband and I stayed at the Riu Jalisco from April 17th though the 24th. It was our first time in Puerto Vallarta but we've stayed in Riu Hotels in Cancun and loved them. Our experience in Puerto Vallarta was just as good! The hotel itself is lovely and exceptionally clean. We had a junior suite with an ocean view... more

I find myself reluctant to post this review, but here goes … My wife and I visited the Riu Jalisco on April 20-27, 2009. Check-in and room assignment went smoothly and all was quite wonderful. On the afternoon of April 22, 2009, my wife was coming out of the ocean and was hit from behind by a pretty big wave.... more
