This was the first time we stayed at a RIU hotel and it will not be the last. The hotel lobby, pool, and most importantly our room was clean and maintained well throughout our stay. Activities were easy to book, the beach was clean and the water usable and fun. It was easy to take a water taxi in and... More

We just returned from the Riu on the 21st of January after spending 10 days there. This was our 5th trip to Mexico, 2nd Riu, all 5 trips were all inclusive. Upon arrival check in took about 10 minutes. I've heard/seen it take longer when you arrive on a bus full of travelers so be a little patient when you... More

Okay, this review is a little late-but I thought I should write something. I visited this resort in October 2011- Weather, I did not see even one cloud until our last day-Gorgeous-perfect actually. The beach was beautiful-seas are always too rough with an under tow so you can't swim in the ocean in front of any of the hotels in... More

We have been to a few Riu's over the last 5 years and this one did not disappoint. Cleanliness, was beyond expectations. They are constantly cleaning. We ate mostly at the buffet and there were always great choices. You can swim in the ocean if you are a strong swimmer, the pools are lovely. The noise in the hallways travels... More

First with positives-- The hotel itself is very beautiful and clean. The staff are all very nice and our drink service was excellent the entire time we were there. The buffets are well stocked so can find some good food (the salsa and guacamole were excellent). The pool areas are awesome. Negatives-- The food at the restaurants was average at... More

We began our journey with the Riu Palace about 6 months prior to our wedding in Jan. 2012. We ended up having over 60 guests traveling from all over the world for our destination wedding. A key component to organizing everyone was our travel agent Mitch from tripguy.com. He was very responsive, organized everyone's travel plans, coordinated the airport shuttle... More

Overall it was a nice resort. We never had issues finding a spot on the beach or near the pool to relax. The food was decent overall, but we have had better at resorts. We felt the buffett was actually better than most of the restaurants. Like many places in the area, there's no swimming off the beach, but not... More

My wife and I are frequent travellers and have stayed at many all-inclusive resorts including other RIU properties. We stayed at the RIU Palace in Cabo San Lucas from Jan 9 to 16 and quite frankly it exceeded our expectations. The hotel is beautiful, the staff are extremely friendly and service oriented, the food was very good with lots of... More

The resort was lovely and the staff were very attentive, especially the entertainment team. We went for two weeks, just before Christmas, This was probably the best food we had experienced in an all inclusive and one of our group, a chef herself toured the kitchen and found it very well organized and spotless. It was a full moon when... More
