Hotel Riu Emerald Bay - All Inclusive
Room had a great view, hotel was clean and many bars and pools to choose from. Beach was beautiful and clean. Great for morning walks. Food was lacking not much selection of restaurant's. All buffets. I would say this resort is mostly for families if you are looking for more adults, less screaming ...
