What an amazing trip! As soon as we landed, we never touched our luggage and were loaded into a comfortable air-conditioned bus and we were served rum drinks that were out of this world! The Riu Palace was gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Once again greeted in the lobby with refreshing drinks, we were then shown to our room. We did not... more

Sorry for the late review, but I felt like I had to write a great review for this resort. We stayed here in Nov 2007 and this place was wonderful! We've been to 4 other all inclusives and this one ranks #1 in our eyes. The beach is very important to me and it did not disapoint. I know there... more

We recently went to Playa del Carmen, despite the flu scare. We had an absolutely wonderful time, however, we were to stay at the Playacar but it was closed due to the flu scare. We stayed at the Yucatan. There were only 2 RIU hotels open, the Yucatan and the Palace. They had to consolidate because of such few tourists.... more

This was our first stay at Riu Palace Mexico and the facilities and staff exceeded our expectations. The desk staff were professional, courteous, always willing to help and were proficient in English. The resort was beautiful, and very clean. The buildings conveyed a sense of old world charm while providing every modern convenience. The waiters and bar staff were very... more

We got back from an 8 day stay at the Rui Palace Mexico on 4/23/09 and all I can say is it was one of the best vacations we've had. The hotel is beautiful, the staff outstanding and attentive, the beaches were pristine (the sand whales are not bad, several younger people used them as amusement slides). There are plenty... more

My boyfriend and I (25, 24) stayed at the Riu Palace Mexico for 2 weeks and had the best holiday we have ever had! Everything about the hotel and Mexico is fantastic! The hotel grounds are immaculate, with workers cleaning and gardening all day. We had a suite, which was a very good size as it had a living area,... more
