First things first: anybody who has a negative review about this hotel is probably the type of person who is negative about everything. Clearly this hotel, while perhaps not a 5-star rating comparative to American/Canadian standards, is definitely a 5-star Mexican standard. Check-in was so fast (Sunwing). You don't even have to check in at reception. Sunwing has its own... More

This was our second all-inclusive in Mexico and we were very pleased with our choice. First, you cannot get a better view of Land's End and the Sea of Cortez. Very beautiful!! Second, the food was definitely above average. We ate at all the specialty restaurants and the buffet. No problem booking the specialty restaurants, you can book one specialty... More

This was our 4th Riu property and we weren't disappointed. . The view of the tip of Baja was majestic. The hotel decor was a masterpiece. Checking in was a breeze, greated with cocktails. We had a Jr. Suite Ocean View. Ocean view was from the balcony room 4092. Our room was nice, spacious and clean. The maid staff cleaned... More

We spent 8 days at the Riu Palace during busy spring break period and had a great time. The resort is beautiful, very clean and most notable was the outstanding and friendly service. We have vacationed at several all inclusives in the Caribbean and Mexico and agree that the food here was above average, at the regular buffet and the... More

Gorgeous views, classic architecture, and everything is amazingly clean. Our group of spring breakers and chaperones agreed that this all-inclusive hotel and the unending sunshine far exceeded our expectations. Whether your dream is to play in the warm pools or relax with your your book and a grown-up drink in a big upholstered chair on the verandah, you'll be comfortable. More

We stayed ar Riu Palace for four nights. We were very pleased by their friendly attitude, very good food and services. Great for kids with a lot of activities. I recommend this place. The only point to improve is their WIFI system. It would be good to have it in room and around the hotel for free. More

They were actually HEATED. Wow, it was so nice. Best swim up bar area I have ever been to. And they have 2... More

This property was well placed, very quiet, so many different options for everything! The Restaurants were fabulous and we never had a bad meal. We experienced American, Mexican (of course) Italian, Japanese, like I said, something for everyone! We spent a lot of time by the pools, the swim-up bar was so much fun, and pool-side snacks were terrific. The... More
