My husband and I stayed at Riu Palace from April 27 to May 5 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the time we entered the grand lobby. We flew with Sunwing and they prearranged for all the Sunwing guests to pickup their room keys and towel tag in the main lobby at a separate check in which was very... More

Overall our time at the Riu Palace was great!! You cannot go into the water at the beach but there is more than enough pool space. We would go down right before we had breakfast and put towels on chairs. Our favourite pool was the pool with the swim up bhar on the activity pool side. We ate at all... More

We went on our 2nd anniversary at the Riu palace and were very hesitant due to some of the negative reviews but appreciated the good reviews and that is why I am writing this. When we arrived in Cabo we were amazed by the beautiful views. The water is beautiful and the mountains were a great bonus! We were greeted... More

I decided to ignore the negative comments on the Riu Palace and trust all of the great reviews and am I ever glad I did! This was an amazing resort and my boyfriend and I absolutely loved Cabo even though we got off to a rocky start. It was to no fault of the hotel, my boyfriend had misplaced his... More

Stay: May 11th-21st LOVED OUR STAY!!! The best way I can describe the RIU Palace is it was like an adult Disney Land. RIU staff was impeccable, everywhere, and all day long; cooking, cleaning, bartending, waiting, and entertaining us. The service was incredible with everyone happy, smiling, and friendly. To insure we continued to get good service we only had... More

My wife and I had a great stay with our friends at the Riu Palace. We stayed for 4 days over the Easter weekend. The first thing you should do is upgrade to an outdoor jacuzzi suite. The views from the suite are impressive. Our suite had a rooftop jacuzzi (accessed it by climbing the spiral staircase) and an in-room... More

I had to write a review after reading so many before I went to Cabo that were somewhat misleading. To sum up our trip to Cabo I would say FABULOUS! It was our first time in Cabo and so after some research you think you are prepared but I was completely blown away at how amazing & beautiful Cabo is.... More

Let me start by saying we had a great time at the Riu, we traveled with 2 other couples ages ranging from 37-50. The resort is beautiful and appearance well maintained, the staff were all very friendly and eager to please. The pools are awesome and range from loud and crazy to quiet and relaxing, you choose which pool best... More

First I will say the food is amazing at this resort from the buffets to the ala carte restaurants. Our travel agent specified it was our first anniversary and that we wanted to upgrade if possible. When we checked in there was no mention of either on our reservation. Their reservation system is very out-dated once you get there. It... More
