We were here with a number of other couples and found that it was only an okay experience. Our rooms varied, some had a conjoined King Bed, and other couples had a "King Bed" that was two full beds pushed near each other - separate sheets and all. All our rooms had an odd sewage-type mildew smell. Luckily it wasn't... More

My family of five spent nine days in December at the Riu Palace. The staff is so very helpful. My daughter has celiac disease and the chef Randy bent over backwards to make sure that she had lots of safe gluten free options. It was the first time that we stayed at an all inclusive since her diagnosis because I... More

My boyfriend and I went with another couple and we realized we made the best choice! We had browsed the internet for quite some time trying to decide which hotel was best for us. We decided to go with the all inclusive and that's where the RIU became our best bet. The hotel is VERY clean, the staff is literally... More

My boyfriend and I, along with another couple, age 28, stayed at the RIU Palace from December 31-January 6 2012. This was our first time visiting Cabo and the RIU. My aunt and uncle frequently stay at the RIU Palace in Cabo and recommended the resort to us. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. I have been to Cancun two times... More

We checked several review sites before we booked into the RIU Palace. I wasn't 100% convinced, but we took a leap of faith and it was incredible! Lets cover some topics quickly that may help you to choose this property. HOW IS THE BEACH AND CAN I SWIM? There is a great beach outside the RIU Palace and it is... More

We joined 4 couples on this trip and were not involved in the planning, but were originally scheduled to stay at the RIU Santa Fe but they oversold our stay so we were "upgraded" to the Palace. Upon arrival, the property is very stunning. Beautiful common areas, beautiful pool with stunning view of "El Arco" rocks. Once we got into... More

Staff was always eager to please, the food for the first time in mexico after many trips was very good. The night time shows were entertaining... More
