We loved the Riu and I want to stress that the staff here is second to none. Cesar, Jatzri, Manuel from the dining room are special notes. What I would tell people is that the hotel can be loud depending on guests, that is true anywhere, but travelling in a group of 30 with 5 children....near impossible some nights to... More

We returned from RIU Palace Cabo just last night. I will try to keep this short and sweet. Check in was uneventful. We traveled with 2 other couples. 2 of the 3 rooms were ready. No big deal - we had been flying all day and were ready to eat something and have a drink or two. We were at... More

We have been to other Riu hotels. In our opinion, there is no better way to travel. The service here was over the top. They never say NO. Anything within reason is yours for the asking. The rooms are wonderful and the views are spectacular. There are 5 restaurants on the property not to mention the 2 very large buffets.... More

This was the first time we stayed at a RIU hotel and it will not be the last. The hotel lobby, pool, and most importantly our room was clean and maintained well throughout our stay. Activities were easy to book, the beach was clean and the water usable and fun. It was easy to take a water taxi in and... More

We just returned from the Riu on the 21st of January after spending 10 days there. This was our 5th trip to Mexico, 2nd Riu, all 5 trips were all inclusive. Upon arrival check in took about 10 minutes. I've heard/seen it take longer when you arrive on a bus full of travelers so be a little patient when you... More

Okay, this review is a little late-but I thought I should write something. I visited this resort in October 2011- Weather, I did not see even one cloud until our last day-Gorgeous-perfect actually. The beach was beautiful-seas are always too rough with an under tow so you can't swim in the ocean in front of any of the hotels in... More

We have been to a few Riu's over the last 5 years and this one did not disappoint. Cleanliness, was beyond expectations. They are constantly cleaning. We ate mostly at the buffet and there were always great choices. You can swim in the ocean if you are a strong swimmer, the pools are lovely. The noise in the hallways travels... More

First with positives-- The hotel itself is very beautiful and clean. The staff are all very nice and our drink service was excellent the entire time we were there. The buffets are well stocked so can find some good food (the salsa and guacamole were excellent). The pool areas are awesome. Negatives-- The food at the restaurants was average at... More
