As I just wrote in my other review of the Riu Santa Fe, I went to Cabos December 30th 2011 to January 6th 2012, and I transferred from the Santa Fe to the Palace after couple days. Here is why. So the Santa Fe and the Palace are right beside each other, and you have to get through the same... More

I'd like to be sharing a positive review about the RIU resort chain, but right now, I am so frustrated, I thought I would share my experience with all other travelers with a disability who are thinking about using this hotel/resort chain. I have been to the Riu Palace in Cabo San Lucas, I was there in 2009 and I... More

Hotel/property - lovely and very well maintained. Rooms - dark and dingy, with TV sets from the early 90s and no English language channels. Beds - uncomfortable mattresses. Pools - cold; heated sporadically. Staff - lovely, helpful, friendly. Food - plentiful and wide variety. Guests - generally very friendly. Tough not to notice that the majority have (or are heading... More

This resort was amazing! My husband and I stayed at this resort from Dec. 28th through Jan. 3rd. We had a great time and very much enjoyed our stay at the Riu. I will go through and talk about the positives and negatives, although there was very little to complain about. Just a couple things to improve to make the... More

Everything about this resort was average, the food, rooms, and service. If you are fine with average, then you will be delighted by this resort, if not, you are probably going to be dissapointed. The view from this resort makes up for some of its serious downfalls. The only meal which you were guaranteed a good meal was breakfast. All... More

I spent 5 nights, 6 days at the Riu Palace - what a beautiful and relaxing trip! The drinks and amenities were great. The room service sucked, but honestly, the drinks were so good that I didn't really care. I actually didn't care much for the dinner options at all (especially the "sushi" - not sushi, not good), but the... More

Place is great for all types of people! Kids, teenagers, young adults and families were having a great time. Food and drinks are all inclusive which was nice and selection was better than average, yet no excellent. We had a great time in a friend/couple get together. All tastes and habits were easily met during our stay. I suggest at... More

This place is great for a family vacation. The staff is so efficient and friendly that whatever I could find wrong with our stay. We had plenty of towels, drinks always at our fingertips and the place is beautiful. We stayed through Christmas, 2011, and had Christmas Eve dinner in the open courtyard. It was party like atmosphere alot of... More

From the moment of our arrival, each and every moment of our stay met or exceeded our expectations. The room was spacious and comfortable. The food at the specialty restaurants was excellent and service impeccable. Buffets were plentiful with good variety and excellent service. The pool area was clean with ample seating and very good bar service. The activities staff... More

We stayed here 13 nights, probably 10 would have been sufficient as its beginning to feel like groundhog day! If you're looking for a place to stay where you really don't have to lift a finger then here is nirvana! This place is really massive! There is everything you need here in the resort which is just as well cos... More
