Was RIU Vallarta worth the trip? Join me and my friend Ruby Colbert as we share an honest review of our Puerto Vallarta-area scouting getaway with Carla and Toni. We stayed at the all-inclusive Hotel RIU Vallarta in the Flamingos area of Riviera Nayarit, Mexico.

Ruby shares her first impressions, favorite memories, unexpected surprises, and thoughts about the rooms, food drinks, entertainment, service, comfort, and safety. We also discussed traveling through Mexico as a mature, black woman the joy of exploring with friends and whether we would recommend RIU Vallarta to other women 50+.

If you’re considering a Riviera Nayarit vacation, a all-inclusive resort in Mexico, or a grown-woman’s girlfriend getaway, this candid conversation will help you decide whether RIU Vallarta belongs on your travel diva list.
