Rating8.1Adults OnlyThe activity program is designed around social energy — catamaran, beach volleyball, aqua aerobics, and the Riu Party circuit are the highlights. Beachfront yoga and dance classes cater to guests wanting something gentler. Water sports beyond kayaking and snorkeling require extra cost.
960 sq m freshwater pool — the largest on property and the hub of daytime activity. Aqua aerobics, water polo, and organized events happen here. Crowded by mid-morning in high season.
260 sq m — less hectic than the main pool. Better option for actual swimming rather than socializing.
252 sq m freshwater pool with panoramic Caribbean views and a swim-up bar. The most photogenic pool on property — also the most sought-after lounger territory.
Complimentary Jacuzzi — useful for unwinding after beach or activity days.
More secluded option within the spa facilities.
