Mr G. I've been there and in fact was at that very hotel. The hotel is very tourist-centric and LOADED with kids. We transferred to the Le Blanc the first day (same parent company as Riu). Benefits for me: no kids allowed, all inclusive if you wish at the property plus other Riu properties, very modern and clean decor and architecture, 2 infinity edge pools at ocean side. When I go back, it will be to the Le Blanc. I'm not up on the state of the security down there right now so obviously check into that. Staff was extremely accommodating and the beachfront at the property is nearly private and uncrowded with some of the best sand and water in the area.
