My husband and I just returned from a 5-night stay at the RIU Palace Pacifico (Oct. 18-23) and cannot wait to go back. We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel, both in decor and cleanliness, as well as the superior service by all of the staff. The grounds and pool were spectacular, and the beach was amazing. Following is a... more

I just returned yesterday from the Rui Palace Pacifico from a 7 night stay with two lady friends. I have traveled to many all inclusives over the years in the Mayan Riviera, Cancun, and the Dominican Republice and the Rui PP was by far the best resort I have ever stayed at. The service was outstanding. The waiters, ect. do... more

This is our third Riu in PV. First we stayed at Vallarta, then Jalisco, and finally Palace Pacifico. We moved right down the street. This is a slow time of year for the resorts. We loved the quiet and 25% capacity. We travel to Mexico twice a year and in our 8 trips we enjoyed the quality of food at... more

We stayed at the Riu Palace from October 27 to November 3, 2009. As we stayed for our honeymoon, we intended to mostly "stay on the reservation" as my husband put it. The Riu Palace is very elegant and comfortable. All of the restaurants, pool and beach are central to the rooms and the staff is friendly and helpful. When... more

We stayed for 21 days this trip. We love the area and come at least once a year. We have stayed at all three Riu properties in PV. The Riu Vallarta was indeed closed the entire time we were there, bummer. The Palace is a beautiful hotel, maids every where cleaning at all times! The food was good, but not... more

My sister and I just returned from a 7 day stay at RIU Palace Pacifico. The resort is beautiful and just the right size. The Hospitality Director greeted us at check in. We each had a junior suite which was well equipped. Each of our rooms had a full ocean view, and also the pool and inner courtyard. The housekeeping... more

First of all, you get what you pay for and the price is very easy to swallow. The resort is fairly new and beautiful. they do have some issues with water leaks and furniture wear however it really wasn't that big of deal. The bathroom could have been a little nicer and the shower products were poor. Ok thats' out... more

We traveled to Mexico for a vacation with another couple and had a great time. Our room was fantastic, very clean and plenty of room. Our room was on the outside of the building and we had a great view of both the ocean and the hills. The room was always done up very well everyday, although we didn't get... more

We stayed at the Riu Palace Pacifico from Oct 3-9. The experience was fantastic. We have stayed in many 5 star hotels and this one was at par with many of them. Here is a summary: Rooms: Excellent, we requested a quiet room facing the ocean on an upper floor and got exactly what we asked for. My only complain... more

The really good thing about this hotel is its beauty (if somewhat over gilded) cleanliness and service. Oh heck, the price too.... The rooms were better then average excepting the dark shower and hard bed which telegraphed your every move. The service was excellent we never wanted for a cocktail ! On the other hand there were issue's with getting... more
