“This resort has increadible food, increadible entertainment staff, and a spectacular beach.However, the hotel itself is in need of upgrading...2 out of 3 kids pool slides are taped off with causion signed and blocked completely...which imeadiately looks shabby and grubby. And the booking system is atrocious...We had a group of 12 family members coming and asked to be in a similar area...not nessesary to be beside...but on one floor or wing would've been great. I called 4x to get notes put on each account and to get through from booking to the actual hotel. I was told that everything is based on availability at the time of check-in...but that they would do their best and notes on acounts would help...as well as to call back 2 weeks before and confirm the notes were there and email the front desk as a back up. So I did exactly as told. Upon arrival we were spread all over the resort. ...we got a few moved around...over the next few days. But we were still wide spread. We managed to let that go pretty quickly once we were all settled. However after the first night, air conditioning didn't work in 2 rooms and was stuck on 18 degrees in a third....it took from Saturday-Wednesday for them to keep comming, trying to fix it(unsuccessfully), before they agreed to move 2 of us, by telling us to come down and check if there were any rooms available the next morning, be ready at 11am to move our bags to storage and check out....and then be ready to recheck in at 4pm -for 3 days straight! Which is completely unreasonable on a 7 day vacation...and we were trying to book an off resort zipline excursion with the entire family on this once in a lifetime trip.... This was increadibly frustrating. Eventually they were able to move the eldest couple in the group to a new room on the Wednesday...and we gave up on the rest ... because honestly, it was ruining our trip. We went on our excursion on Thursday and came back to the same couples (new room) air conditioning had died again....!! Again they came and tried to fix it multiple times and then said that the 24degrees that it started cooling the room to was acceptable...(meanwhile ours was still stuck on 18...). They said they could go through the checkout process again the next morning if a new room was available....but that was just stressing them out more. So they left it for the last two nights, sweaty and sticky...and then they went home. They sent up a bottle of champagne for the 'trouble'. And that was that. Just awful service at the front desk...I actually cried for my parents because they were being far to gentle about the whole thing and I just felt like they were getting completely taken advantage of...So, all of that to say the rooms are desperately in need of new equipment...new air conditioning, new tiling, new elevators..(new front desk staff...ha!).Other than the nights/rooms....this resort is spectacular...honestly the food was super awesome...we came with milk allergies, celiac disease, diabetes and keto diets...lol...and didn't have one issue! So I can't say enough about the food service. Cleaning staff were also superb! Made my youngest a bunch of towel animals...and then made her a special towel teddy bear to play with their others and she slept with it for the remainder of the stay....it was really sweet... Entertainment staff were a blast, and really engaging with our 12 year old.I would like to give half of the staff and location 5 stars and some rooms/pools/staff 1 star...but alas...this is the trouble and it's median is 3. So 3 stars it is for the Rio Jalisco. If it gets renovated, we might think about returning, but not in the near future unfortunately.Would've really appreciated an apology from the desk staff after all of the trouble that we went through, I think we could still fight it...but that's what left the worst taste in our mouth... gladly we got to experience the great parts as well.”

“The resort itself is lovely. The grounds are lavish and beautifully up kept. The staff is generally quite friendly and happy to help you. The pools are clean and so were the rooms.As many of the other reviews state, the food is lack-luster. Don't go there expecting out of this world food - it's very plain.My biggest complaint is that while I was changing, a male employee walked right into my room. He was obviously apologetic and it was clearly a mistake, however that's a big mistake to have happen. As a woman it's extremely uncomfortable to say the least, and as a covered Muslim woman, it's like a nightmare. The hotel had us fill out a report and they promised to look into it. About two days later we got a call from administration that said 'We are sorry, it won't happen again'. That's it.They offered for me to speak with their PR manager in the lobby, but my baby was about to sleep. They did not offer another time or any type of alternative arrangement. I was extremely disappointed in their response. I would return to another Riu resort, but not Jalisco simply based on their response to this issue.”
