Its like any hotel you go too, if your there early and they have been full all week your not going to get your room tell after 3pm so dress in shorts and swim wear in a easy to get to bag. The rooms are great not sure if I would have liked staying in the villa's. Ask away and... More

The whole entire hotel is accented in purple. The bedding, curtains, wall art, chairs, etc. Thats my favorite color so I couldn't have been happier. Amazing hotel! Very clean. Very modern. The hotel was very well kept. We had a room with a jacuzzi on the balcony with an amazing view. I highly recommend that category room. I saw a... More

I stayed at the hotel April 27 - May 5. My travel agent had booked me into one of the VIP Villas but when I arrived, I discovered I had been put into a suite in the Main Building. I still had all the same privileges of the VIP but I had a huge king suite with a jacuzzi on... More

Myself and my partner have recently returned from the Riu Palace Peninsula and the only word that can describe this hotel is WOW!!! Before we went we read all the bad reviews on this hotel and were in two minds whether we had made the right choice especially as it was costing quite a bit of money. Upon arrival our... More

This was our first visit to a Riu hotel and we were very impressed by the whole experience. I believe the hotel is only a year old and is tastefully decorated in a modern boutique style. For those that prefer the more colonial look I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. The entire staff work tirelessly to make your stay relaxing... More

We stayed at the Riu Palace Peninsula May 11-May 18. We were on the 16th floor (paid for a superior view room... worth the extra money to us) and had a fantastic view. First off the rooms were the standard run of the mill rooms but the view more than makes up for the plain standard hotel style rooms. We... More

We stayed the week of 5/12/13 and it was absolutely amazing. I thought the Riu Palace Pacifico in Puerto Vallarta was great, but the Peninsula outdid them. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and was quite reasonably priced. We could not be more pleased with a hotel ever! The food at the buffet was perfect, we must have gained... More

Absolutely perfect. I don't know how anyone can say bad things about this place. Second time to cancun but will definitely be coming back to this hotel if we return. The staff can't do enough for you, not one bad experience in the 2 weeks we were there. Customer service at its best. The hotel was immaculate and all day... More

I've traveled quite a bit, and have stayed at All Inclusive hotels often. That being said, I must say that this has been the best experience at an All Inclusive hotel. The staff is the friendliest staff, always going a step further to please you. The rooms are spotless, as is the lobby and the rest of the facilities. The... More
