We went to this restaurant because it was included in our all-inclusive package at the resort. This restaurant is by the beach and the pool and is open. We enjoyed the views of the ocean and the breezes that sometimes ran through the restaurant.
For lunch, we generally ordered very simple foods. The food was promptly served and was acceptable.
Dinners were a bit more complicated here. On some nights there would be a theme, such as South Pacific. For some reason, we did not dine here on any of the theme nights. (We did dine at Andrea, the other restaurant at the resort, on theme nights and found them to be excellent. I have no reason to think it would be otherwise at La Ribera.)
La Ribera is a steak house on the evenings that it does not have theme nights. It serves pretty good steaks--they are definitely served very hot.
The servers were all very friendly and helpful. We were not disappointed in any of our several visits to this restaurant.
(I am not sure I have the pricing right--we were all-inclusive so I did not pay much attention to pricing.)
