Gotta love a good remodel.
Mother Nature takes a toll on anything in a warm, ocean front climate.
So 6 years with no maintenance and the critters will own any property.
In the case of the Riu Resorts, they don’t mess around when they remodel.

Before……..Boogy Nights
After …….Happy Days
You will find 676 rooms…..not sure why they did not stop at 666.
They nixed the bathtubs for large walk-in showers.
Added a new RiuLand kids club with slides and 3 new pools.
Built La Bodega, a new Spanish restaurant, and topped off the remo with
a new gym, sauna and spa for your body image pleasures.
And, Best of All! Riu is having some reopening specials. Like $96 a night.
