Riu Flamingos

The short version

Known as Riu Jalisco until May 1, 2026, Riu Flamingos took its new name after a renovation that wrapped up at the end of 2025. The work brought it to 820 rooms, 120 of them new, with family units that sleep up to six. Set on Playa Flamingos in Nuevo Vallarta, it has six pools, two of them children's pools with slides, plus RIU Land, a 24-hour gym, RIU Party events and a new ice cream parlor.
