"Unfortunate that we visited when hurricane simon was near which caused the hotel to be locked down for 1 day due to it. However, still had a pleasant time. All inclusive, food was decent and the drinks never stopped except when there was an alcohol ban during the lock down."

"We experienced hot, humid, Hurricane Simon the entire week we were there. We appreciated the organized way the management and staff handled the difficult week. It was difficult to be in lock down -- no beach access the entire week except for our first day and last day we were leaving. No swimming in ocean. No pool for 2.5 days. Obviously we are grateful Simon went away from Jalisco, but it still made for along, frustrating week. Thank you Riu staff for your hours and hours of pouring into your guest during a scary week for you too!"

"We only stayed one night in Puerto Vallarta before heading to Nuevo Vallarta. The Tropicana was nice, we booked a superior room withe pool view but to our surprise was also a partial ocean view. We did not use the pool since it was raining that evening. We look forward to staying there again for a longer stay in the future since we loved how close the hotel is to the ocean."

"When we first got there, we had asked to switch rooms because the room we got was extremely small, and there were multiple things falling apart with the room. Once we upgraded our room, the room was perfect. It had enough space and seemed to be a more updated room. The staff was incredible and so nice and helpful throughout the hotel however, the check in staff weren’t very friendly (except for Laura). Overall we had a great stay"
