We began our journey with the Riu Palace about 6 months prior to our wedding in Jan. 2012. We ended up having over 60 guests traveling from all over the world for our destination wedding. A key component to organizing everyone was our travel agent Mitch from tripguy.com. He was very responsive, organized everyone's travel plans, coordinated the airport shuttle... More

Overall it was a nice resort. We never had issues finding a spot on the beach or near the pool to relax. The food was decent overall, but we have had better at resorts. We felt the buffett was actually better than most of the restaurants. Like many places in the area, there's no swimming off the beach, but not... More

My wife and I are frequent travellers and have stayed at many all-inclusive resorts including other RIU properties. We stayed at the RIU Palace in Cabo San Lucas from Jan 9 to 16 and quite frankly it exceeded our expectations. The hotel is beautiful, the staff are extremely friendly and service oriented, the food was very good with lots of... More

The resort was lovely and the staff were very attentive, especially the entertainment team. We went for two weeks, just before Christmas, This was probably the best food we had experienced in an all inclusive and one of our group, a chef herself toured the kitchen and found it very well organized and spotless. It was a full moon when... More

I have traveled alot in my lifetime and this one of my best trips ever. As other reviewers have stated, the staff is AWESOME and everywhere you look someone is constantly mopping and cleaning. Majority of he food was great and the buffets had alot to choose from, even for people who don't eat meat. Didn't care for the Japanese... More

The hotel is of marvellous architecture in its own right. The food is good, as is the service staff. However, this is a "pool resort" as the beach is not swimable except by the very strong swimmers. More

We visited the Riu Palace in November 2011 and had an amazing trip! The resort was spotless and there was no waiting for anything. The food and drinks were really good, we especially enjoyed Krystal. Ironically the Mexican restaurant was the one we thought was just okay. The views were spectacular, the beaches were beautiful. The beach sand is actually... More

I came here last weekend with my best friend and her co-workers and I had an amazing time. The resort is big, but not THAT big. The rooms are spacious and clean. We got a beautiful view of the pool and the ocean. My only beef with these rooms was that they don't provide extra hair dryers even if you... More

I just got back from Cabo yesterday. We stayed at the Riu Palace and I wanted to share the good, the bad and the ugly. The resort itself is beautiful. The property is beautiful, the pools rock, we had NO issues getting chairs. Every day they put up a volleyball net in the pool. There are two swim up bars.... More
