riu jalisco or grand marival? any suggestions?

What are you looking for ....

Definitely go for the Grand Marival

The food in the alternative restaurants is great. There are 4 of them as opposed to only one at the Riu Jalisco

info. on food, rooms, beach area, size, overall impression, would you go back to one versus the other, night life. anything that jumped out at you about either resort. That kind of stuff- just a general, open-ended question!!!!

Riu is newer have heard of people staying at Grand Marival being put in older Marival and were not impressed . The reason I asked what are u looking for is both of these places cater to families you did not say whether or not you were taking kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This makes a huge difference I personlly would opt for an adults only place if no kids are going .
The above is a general open ended answer!!!!!!!!!
