It was our first time at an all inclusive, and we booked at the Hideaway at the Royalton Riviera. Some of the reviews we saw said that the resort was incredibly rundown and in poor shape, and that was not our experience at all. There is some construction going on at the resort but it's being done as unobtrusively as possible. Room: 9/10 - good bed, brightly lit, good pillows, AWESOME shower, plenty of products in both shower and mini bar. The water took a minute to stop smelling funny in the shower, but cleared up after a few minutes of running it. Food: 6/10 - I would say this is not the resort to go to if you're a foodie. The food is fine, but nothing to write home about. Dorado was the best restaurant, and if you're in the hideaway section, go there for lunch every day. Caribbean restaurant was good as well. Zen,the teppanyaki restaurant was fine, the cook didn't cook the bean sprouts when he was cooking the rest of the vegetables, which is a shame cause I love bean sprouts. The online menu also said there was supposed to be soup and dessert which never showed up, but we also didn't realize that until afterwards. The food we did have was again good, standard teppanyaki fare: steak, chicken, salmon, and fried rice, but nothing to write home about. Stay away from Taj if you're a fan of Indian food, you'll only be disappointed, and you can get the same recipes on the buffet. Drinks: 9/10 - The cocktails are good. Provided you're alright with mostly samey sweet fruity boozy concoctions. Which I am. Coffee was a pleasant surprise! Both drip coffee in restaurants and the cafe off the lobby were quite good. Juice bar in the buffet in the mornings is awesome as well. Staff: 10/10 everyone we met was super friendly. Special shout-out to Alfonso and Yessica at the beach bar, they were great. Pools:10/10 We only spent time at the hideaway pool, and it was a good time. Chill in the morning and got rowdier as the day went on, which was fun. The Pisces bar under the Dorado was closed for construction which was a shame cause that's definitely where we would have hung out. Shows: 10/10- we didn't sit and watch but one show, but walked past several and they all seemed fun. Fire breathing, acrobatics, and some traditional dance. Something was happening every day, and there were little popup things throughout the days as well. A tuna carving demonstration, several cooking demonstrations, pop up musical acts, really made the place feel vibrant. Beach: 10/10 saved the best for last. Much more relaxed than the hideaway pool. Less crowded. Less going on. Great place to just chill. The first few days were in the wake of a tropical storm that buzzed the area, so there was a lot of seaweed, but by the third day here, the beach and ocean had cleared up and the beach was a downright pleasant place to stay. Now, all that being said, don't expect a sugar sand crystal clear water beach experience here, it's not that. But it's a fine beach to spend an
