For an all inclusive I though the hotel was good , better food than the Riu Palace Cancun ( except for the room service and after hours food ). My only major complaint was that we were unable to go in the ocean because of the surf. The beach is also difficult to walk on because of the incline and... more

If you are booking a trip based on the hotel's website photos and description as we did, you will be extremely disappointed. The hotel has not been maintained, and is in serious need of a good cleaning, upgraded rooms and amenities, and better management. I have travelled to over 10 five star resorts in Mexico, and this one does not... more

Where do I begin.. I read several reviews about this place and still felt that it was worth a shot! Boy was I wrong! The food was horrible! The nachos were stale and refried.. The nacho cheese was like orange water and the drinks were terrible.. For lunch my boyfriend and I ate mainly French fries and fish because everything... more

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon in Cabo and stayed at the Riu Palace (7 days/ 7nights 6/27 to 7/4). We had stayed at the Riu Palace in Cancun last year so where excited to go back, but experience a new location. Overall, I would say our stay was good – not great. Room: The basic... more

My husband and I, both travel agents, stayed at the Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas and found it to be one of the better all inclusive resorts. We have experienced many including, Club Med, Secrets, Super Clubs and Palace Resorts. We found this resort to be the best at service and cleanliness. The staff was really friendly and genuinely nice.... more

This resort is located in the perfect spot, perfect location to town, but far enough away from the noise. We loved the water taxi's out front to get anywhere we wanted to go. mango productions is the photography compnay on-site and do an amazing job. So much so we are going back for our wedding in November!! The rooms are... more

My wife and I went with some friends to the RIU palace from 6-22 through 6-29. We had never been to Cabo before or a RIU property. Check in went well and the front desk was friendly. Our room was a little small, but nice. Everything was clean and the A/C worked well. We had a good view of the... more

The place is beautiful and the staff was super friendly. I had read a lot of reviews trashing the food but the Mexican Restaurant and Steak Restaurant were great. (both required reservations) However, the main buffet had very good sushi and lots of very tasty options. It was an incredbily romantic. I would advise this place for any couple or... more

This was our second stay at a Riu property. We stayed at Riu Palace Las Americas in Cancun in June of 2008. Both hotels were beautiful and many of the shows were exactly the same. The staff at the Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas was more friendly and accomodating and the food, while still pretty mediocre, was somewhat better. The... more
