An introduction to Riu Vallarta

This hotel's right on the beach with fabulous golden sands. Gentle Pacific breakers. Tall, slender palms. And it's all on your doorstep. But wait till you see the two pools. One's got slides, they've both got whirlpool baths and there's even some in-water sunbeds. It's a haven of relaxation and it ticks all the right boxes. And the service is tip-top too. Giving you a welcome as warm as the Mexican sun, the staff go out of their way to make sure you have the holiday of a lifetime. Nothing is too much trouble - from house-keeping's towel sculptures to chef's flambeed creations, you'll remember this experience long after your suntan has faded. Speaking of meals, Hotel Riu Vallarta is an out-and-out food heaven. We're talking seafood, steaks and everything in between. There's even an Asian restaurant to tempt you off the beach. And the breakfasts are even more amazing. Eggs cooked fresh to order. Fresh fruit platters. Glazed and custard filled pastries. There's no better way to start the day. So give in to temptation and feast your eyes on this Mexican dream.
