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.

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.

I had the pleasure of spending a short 3 days at the Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas. The resort was fabulous. Gorgeous, beautiful views of the ocean, and the swimming pools were the best I have seen. 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

Just a little preamble, I swore for the past 5 years or so that I'd never go back to Mexico. I was fed up with the violence drugs and other issues with the country. It was suggested I give it another chance and I'm glad I did. Still not a fan of what's going on around the border towns (who... More

Beautiful place, gorgeous property, fabulous staff. We will definately go back, hopefully this year for our anniversary. We got married October 6, 2011. We eloped and it couldn't have better. Kylene handled everything for the wedding and we adore her. Danielle took the pictures and was very accommodating to our needs. I can not say enough about the staff. Everyone... More

Our family absolutely loved the resort! First of all, the staff was the most wonderful staff I have ever encountered! They were the friendliest people, extremely accommodating, and incredibly hardworking. They were so attentive -- you could barely sit down at a table before they were taking your drink order. It was also the cleanest place I have EVER stayed.... More

Just returned from the RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas after a 5 day stay March 31st to April 4th. The hotel and property is awsome. Very clean, great location, no bugs or anything like that. We had no trouble with any theft as was mentioned in other reviews and we didn't hear of anyone who had trouble while we were... More
