RIU Hotels Reopens Riu Jalisco After Full Refurb

22.12.25 | Open Jaw

RIU Hotels & Resorts has reopened the doors of the iconic hotel Riu Jalisco, located in Riviera Nayarit, following the completion of an ambitious renovation project. The establishment has undergone an extensive transformation to add a variety of new dining options, as well as create a special area for the youngest members of the family that includes a splash pad with slides. In parallel to the refurbishment, work was carried out to extend the hotel and add 120 rooms in a newly constructed area.

The Riu Jalisco now has a total of 820 completely renovated, contemporary and bright rooms. What’s more, the hotel now offers a new type of room with capacity for up to six guests, a great option for larger families.

The outdoor areas at the Riu Jalisco have been completely redesigned. The hotel has a total of six swimming pools, two of which are specifically for children with games and slides and four that can be enjoyed by the whole family. The family pools have all been newly built along the seafront. The largest has a bar service and the second boasts a swim-up bar, while the remaining two are designed for relaxation and sports activities, respectively. What’s more, children can have even more fun than before thanks to the addition of a new play area with a splash pad that promises hours of safe fun for little ones, who can also enjoy the renovated RiuLand space.

The hotel’s extension is not only home to the new Sports Bar, but also to two concepts that RIU is adding to all refurbished and new hotels: the American Country restaurant, where guests can enjoy a selection of classic American dishes, and the Candy ice cream parlour. These additions complement the hotel's extensive range of dining options, which include the Don Gabriel buffet restaurant and four speciality restaurants: the Steak House, the Asian restaurant Sakura, the Mexican restaurant Agave, and the Italian restaurant Duomo. There are also two more informal dining options, the Pepe's Food grill station and the Tiki Taco taco stand. Including the ice cream parlour and the Sports Bar, the hotel has a total of eight bars.

As for entertainment, guests will continue to enjoy the RIU Party events held every Friday at the hotel, with shows and a unique atmosphere that are guaranteed fun for the whole family.

With this reopening, RIU Hotels & Resorts reaffirms its commitment to Riviera Nayarit, where it has made significant investments in recent years to refurbish the Riu Vallarta in 2019 and the Riu Palace Pacifico in 2023. Thanks to these projects, the chain offers a high-quality, modern product that is adapted to the latest trends in this destination to maintain its leading position in the holiday segment on the Mexican Pacific coast.
