We stayed at the Riu Palace from Aug.16-23 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed at the Riu Bambu in the Dominican Republic a few years ago so we expected much the same experience but our expectations were exceeded! The Palace is beautiful, kept immaculately clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful, the food is great and plentiful.... more

I stayed at the RIU Palace from July 26- Aug 4, 2008 and had a great time! In overall its really what you make of your trip. Food: Average, not the best. Enjoyed the Japanese and Gourmet restaurant. The buffet restaurant had a different theme every night, we enjoyed Japanese and Mexican. Surprisingly the sushi was pretty decent. Drinks: Were... more

The hotel was so beautiful and sooo big, so many resturants to choose from, reservations were not that difficult to make, we ate in every restaurant and we had a group of 22 people. I was a little iffy at first because it seemed a little unorganized but once I met with the wedding coordinator "Virginia" who was filling in... more

Ok, I let a little time pass before I wrote my review. Our stay was from July 24, 2008 thru July 29, 2008. First, the Riu Palace is a BEAUTIFUL place, and my family and I felt quite secure on the property. Upon our arrival, we were met with smiles, margaritas and Coronas. It was great, because our room was... more

After reading the RIU was a five star resort, I was disappointed in many aspects of RIU. The food for starters was horrible, and it is almost impossible to get a reservation at one of the hotel restaurants unless you wake up at 8am every morning and walk down to the front desk/ bar area. Couldn't reservations be made over... more

Last year my fiance and I spent a ton of time planning a cozumel vacation that we had to cancel last minute due to hurricane dean. At the last minute we booked the Riu Palace in Cabo, and therefore did not really have any expectations, since we were just happy not to be stuck in a hurricane. The resort is... more

My husband and I spent 10 days at the Riu Palace Los Cabos for our honeymoon. Prior to the honeymoon, we had read many reviews about the hotel on various websites ranging from positive experiences to nightmare experiences. Of course, this led to our questioning the hotel for our honeymoon. In the end, I am very glad that we did... more
