What's more, with its 5 renovated bars and the Pacha nightclub situated within the hotel itself, entertainment is guaranteed by day and by night.

Once open, the ClubHotel Riu Jalisco will include two pools with built-in jacuzzis, a sun terrace, a steam bath, a gym and a Renova Spa wellness center, with a selection of treatments and massages.
