I had a wonderful stay at the RIU Plaza Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring a smooth check-in process. The room was spacious, immaculately clean, and offered stunning views of the city. The amenities provided were top-notch, including a well-equipped fitness center and a delicious breakfast buffet with a wide variety of options. The hotel's location was perfect, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. Overall, my experience at RIU Plaza was exceptional, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort and excellent service.

My stay here was amazing! Staff were friendly and accommodating (esp Juan and Frank). I felt as though someone was always available to address any concerns (although I had none!).The breakfast was good. The hotel is in a great location, I walked around and explored on my own, by putting google maps on walk mode. I found amazing restaurants within a 7-9 min walk from the hotel.

Best breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. Hands down. So many options. The hotel is very lovely, spacious and comfortable. Only thing that bothered me is you could hear people walking or running above you at night. Hotel is very busy and guests are loud sometimes if you’re a light sleeper like me. Great WiFi, double sinks, great ac. I will definitely be back !

The hotel was clean, buffet breakfast was good, bar service was good, pool was clean and staff was excellent. I thought we would get an armband to show that we are staying at the Hotel Riu Plaza. I didn't like the fact that anyone could just walk in on the property without being questioned by the security and also that the elevator is accessible without a room card most times and that is not safe.
