Before traveling to the Riu Palace in Cabo, I did a lot of research on the area and on the RIU Palace. Anytime you do research, you have to read between the lines and decide for yourselves which information may be pertinent for you. In this review I will attempt to break down what our experience was on this trip.... more

The Reservation: Our trip was for Oct 21-25th but, due to Hurricane Rick (well, it started out as a hurricane), we delayed our trip a day. Due to whatever reason, the hotel ended up charging our card $700 for this change ($50 due to a reservation change fee and the other $650 was presumably the last minute cancellation fee). This... more

We were able to get a great deal out of Seattle to spend 5 days at the Riu Palace. We booked the Riu because we wanted 1)All-Inclusive 2)Good food 3)Nice pools Thankfully, Riu Palace hit all 3 spots. From the moment we arrived we were checked in immediately and given a margarita while we checked in. Slight hiccup in our... more

My husband and I, as well as our neighbors, stayed at Riu Palace October 17-24, 2009. We were immediately struck by how gorgeous the property is! Check in is quick and efficient, and the cold refreshment welcome bar in the lobby didn't hurt our first impression one bit! All the public areas are large and, even when crowded, have plenty... more

I love trip advisor and do not plan any trips without reading travelers reviews so here it goes.... My husband and I planned our Honeymoon for Riu in Feb last year. After about 1/2 year reading reviews I knew what to expect and what would happen upon arrival. When you arrive at Cabo..... SKIP, IGNORE, BYPASS (polietly say no) to... more

The Riu Palace is an absolutely great place to stay. The food, beach, hotel were all excellent. I would definitely stay at the Riu when I return to Cabo. The great thing about the Riu Palace destinations is you know exactly what to expect. The layout, food, etc. are the same at each of the resorts. The specialty restaurants were... more

We went to the RIU palace in July for an early 10 year anniversary. The staff was always on-the-spot with service and the food was good. We met several other couples and it turned out to be a great trip for us and can't wait to go back to Cabo and to the RIU palace. Our other choice for this... more

We celebrated our 35th anniversary at the Riu Palace and I will return again. Being an all-inclusive I wasn't sure what to expect, but the staff is extremely nice and the grounds are beautiful. The room was nice, a small living area and a nice balcony with a decent view of the ocean. The food at the buffett was OK... more

Lets start with a positive note. We had beautiful weather and the Beach was beautiful. The quite pool which was a never ending pool was very nice and the Mexican Reservation only restaurant was good. With that said, the service was very poor. I have traveled all over the world and stayed in many different cultures and accomadations and this... more
