RIU Palaces never truly disappoint! The resort is beautiful! Always activities throughout the day to keep you engaged if you want. Food offered all day if you know where to get it. Buffet for dinner was packed every night (holiday time) which we’ve not experienced before. Staff worked hard to try and get everyone in as fast as they could. Kudos! Room was clean and housekeeping came in when asked. Showtime Entertainment was excellent every night and always at RIU, the MJ show is not to be missed!

The Hotel is new and Good, the Buffet was good ! was there on Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve Dinner was awesome. Beach is Private and Awesome. Most of the Bar Tenders are super nice and very funny, The Adults only pool with bar was awesome, the bartenders there was super fun to be there. I think the Reception staff needs little training and some staff in buffet on Customer service. Apart from that it was awesome xp.

I thought this was a solid resort for families. The food wasn’t great. While the beach is lovely and intoxicating, it is unsuitable for swimming and there are rocks all on the bottom of the ocean that can harm you even with water shoes. If you seeking ocean swimming, you will have to find another resort. Entertainment was fun and the resort was overall clean. I personally wouldn’t go back there, but I value beach swimming overall which I wasn’t able to do.

Only have one major problem with the hotel. Due to the pool chlorine levels, I had two brand new bathing suits ruined, my daughter one, and my son one. Told the customer service and they seemed unaffected by it. Didn’t want a discount or anything but an apology would have been nice. A dismissive thank you for telling us lacked sincerity.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was impressed by its cleanliness and the variety of food options available, which were excellent. The shows were entertaining and showcased great talent. However, I did have one concern regarding the attire of the performers. While I respect individual choices in clothing, I noticed that the female performers were dressed more provocatively compared to their male counterparts. This disparity stood out to me, especially considering the presence of impressionable children in the audience. I believe this aspect could be improved to create a more balanced and family-friendly environment. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but I hope the management takes this feedback into consideration for future shows.

I recently spent three nights at this hotel and found it to be very relaxing. I had a lovely room with a view up on the 12th floor. The room was clean and comfortable, and the on-site restaurants were enjoyable. Making reservations and requests through the app was incredibly easy, which was a plus. However, I was disappointed with the limited room service options. The hotel only offered continental breakfast, which I found quite boring. It would have been better if more options from the buffet, like pizza, spaghetti, or burgers, were available for room service. Additionally, the reservation included $624 in credits, which I thought could be used at the resort. Unfortunately, these credits were essentially coupons and not actual dollars, meaning they had limited use and required additional out-of-pocket spending. This was misleading and frustrating, as I ended up not using any of these so-called credits. Overall, despite the room service and credit issues, my stay was pleasant and the hotel met most of my expectations.
