Great service at check-in, and all bars and restaurants. Great food - highly recommend Krystal and the Sea Bass. Japanese and Mexican restaurants also good, would return to these restaurants (only ones we visited). Great beach, lots of palm trees and shade. There were plenty of loungers available at any time of the day at both the pool & beach.... more

This is my 4th stay in a Riu hotel and they continue to deliver excellent facilities and service. The food in all the of the restaurants is great and dont be disappointed if you cant get into one of the al a carte restaurnts because the food in the buffet restaurant is fabulous. In particular we had beef wellington and... more

I'm going to get right to the point. We were very impressed with Riu Palace Maya. Beatiful and clean. These people keep this place pretty much spotless! The rooms are nice and the stocked bar. The resort is beautiful and the beaches are the prettiest I've seen. We went thru a travel agent and everything was pretty well taken care... more

Excellent!!

If you are looking for a relaxing vacation, with great service, friendly people and spectacular views, this is it. We stayed just 5 days/4 nights at the end of October 2009, and we couldn't ask for more. We did arrive early at the resort and the room wasn't ready, but no problem.... we had a suits in our carryon, changed... more

To give you some basic background - I went with 2 other female friends. I have stayed at RIU in Cabo (nothing to complain about) and my friend stayed at a RIU in Jamaica (also nothing to complain about). We were looking for a beautiful place to stay that was all-inclusive (we did a lot of research), and had a... more

The Riu Palace Riviera Maya is top notch!! Our room was clean and spacious. The refridgerator was stocked every day with large and small bottles of water, soda and beer. Although our room was close to the courtyard, it was very quiet. The staff was so nice and very accomodating. Room service was very speedy (told us 20 minutes and... more

Originally we booked to stay at the RIU Playacar. My husband and I had stayed there beofre and love the smaller, more intimate atmosphere. This time we travelled with my sister and her husband. The rooms there were a little on the warm side, and my sister did not like the idea of no bathtub. So we switched to the... more

My husband and I spent a lovely relaxing week at the Riu Palace Riviera Maya....we thought that the grounds, common areas, pool, beach, food, restaurants, employees, service and our room were all fantastic! We stayed at the Riu Palace Mexico last year, our only complaint was how they have you reserve the specialty restaurants each day ( get to the... more
