MALLORCA, Spain, September 06, 2006. In just about two short months, RIU will open its newest resort - Riu Vallarta - in Puerto Vallarta increasing its number of rooms in Mexico to 6,035. The 5-star Riu Vallarta will feature 550 deluxe guestrooms and suites, the All-Inclusive by RIU concept and the legendary personalized service for which the company is renowned.

Riu Vallarta will also offer five bars each with a charm and character all their own. The Astoria lobby bar, La Boheme lounge bar, the Sports Bar, the Plaza bar and the Mezcal swim-up bar will all feature unlimited premium cocktails, domestic and international beers and a variety of other indulgences intended to quench any thirst.

The resort will offer two swimming pools with integrated Jacuzzis, a children's swimming pool, a play park, a mini-club, a fitness center, a sauna and a full-service spa featuring a variety of beauty treatments, salon services and massages. Riu Vallarta will also provide a complete activities program for adults and children, complimentary water sports including windsurfing, snorkelling and scuba lessons in the pool and concerts, theme shows and live performances in the evening. Famed Pach'a nightclub will remain open until the wee hours of the morning giving guests the chance to literally dance the night away.
