The hotel is of marvellous architecture in its own right. The food is good, as is the service staff. However, this is a "pool resort" as the beach is not swimable except by the very strong swimmers. More

We visited the Riu Palace in November 2011 and had an amazing trip! The resort was spotless and there was no waiting for anything. The food and drinks were really good, we especially enjoyed Krystal. Ironically the Mexican restaurant was the one we thought was just okay. The views were spectacular, the beaches were beautiful. The beach sand is actually... More

I came here last weekend with my best friend and her co-workers and I had an amazing time. The resort is big, but not THAT big. The rooms are spacious and clean. We got a beautiful view of the pool and the ocean. My only beef with these rooms was that they don't provide extra hair dryers even if you... More

I just got back from Cabo yesterday. We stayed at the Riu Palace and I wanted to share the good, the bad and the ugly. The resort itself is beautiful. The property is beautiful, the pools rock, we had NO issues getting chairs. Every day they put up a volleyball net in the pool. There are two swim up bars.... More

We returned on the 16th of January from 10 days at Riu Palace. It truly was a great experience. We were looking for relaxation and got lots of it but our days were full till almost 11:00 pm every day. Could have gone till 2:00 am but the disco is not for us – we are in our mid to... More

We were here with a number of other couples and found that it was only an okay experience. Our rooms varied, some had a conjoined King Bed, and other couples had a "King Bed" that was two full beds pushed near each other - separate sheets and all. All our rooms had an odd sewage-type mildew smell. Luckily it wasn't... More

Our group of friends just returned from a five night vacation at the RIU Palace in Cabo San Lucas. We have been to several all inclusive resorts and this one rates right near the top. Positives: The staff is GREAT, no matter if you tip or not. The views are priceless, entertainment at the resort is good. Swimming in the... More

My family of five spent nine days in December at the Riu Palace. The staff is so very helpful. My daughter has celiac disease and the chef Randy bent over backwards to make sure that she had lots of safe gluten free options. It was the first time that we stayed at an all inclusive since her diagnosis because I... More

My boyfriend and I went with another couple and we realized we made the best choice! We had browsed the internet for quite some time trying to decide which hotel was best for us. We decided to go with the all inclusive and that's where the RIU became our best bet. The hotel is VERY clean, the staff is literally... More
