I honestly was very pleased with my stay at Riu Palace. It was my second time going to an all inclusive resort and Riu kicked the other place's arse. My room was cleaned daily and the hotel itself was beautiful. The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially the ones working at the restaurants/bars. I thought the food was decent, especially for a resort that size. I would definitely return

Had a great time from March 23, 2002 till April 2, 2022 Cannot complain as everything at the hotel was a great experience from the check in, the Room, the grounds, the pools, the beach, and most important the STAFF WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT ALWAYS MAKING SURE YOU HAD WHAT YOU NEEDED OR WANTED. Great Job on all ends. If someone has a complaint about this place you can never satisfy them regardless of what the RIU tries to do. You will never go Hungry or Thirsty at this Place Nick & Rachelle Palladino Ancaster Ontario Canada

My husband and I having been coming her for 15 years. and every time is better than the last! We stayed 2 weeks this time, and could have stayed longer (work always get in the way of everything fun!). From the moment we land here everything runs extremely smooth like a well oiled machine. Check in is always quick, and we get our requested room without any issue. We had beautiful weather the entire time. And as usual everything from our room to the beach was impeccably clean. But, it is the people that make this place beyond paradise-from the groundskeepers all the way to management. And you know it must be a great place to work, as we have been "growing up/getting older" with all of the same people that have been here since the beginning! I love seeing everyone's smiling faces year after year-they really do feel like family. We made some new friends this year, as we played games everyday. From bocce (see you next year Willy & Guenter), darts, horseshoes and bingo! Thank you Yenifer & your dimples (my daughter from Montreal-lol) , Estefenie and your ever-changing hair, Francheska, Bebe, Peluche & Kevin for making everyday so fun! You all do a Fabulous job, and we love seeing you and laughing with you everyday...and winning the games!! A big round of "clappy clappy" for all of you! Thank you Hector, Javier & Jesus for your great service on the beach! Javier, get some sleep and don't forget your name tag! Saul-thank goodness you came back to work at the end of our stay. It wouldn't be the same without seeing your smiling face and of course your high octane drinks!!! And Melos my love, thank you...for being you xoxo!! You do an amazing job, which shows through everyone working for you, and how smoothly everything runs! Lucas-thank you for always keeping our fridge Abundantly stocked as usual!! Miguel, thank you for being the first person I talk to every morning-wouldn't change it for the world. Audy-best server ever! Thank you for always taking such great care of us-Love You!! Orlando, you have finally come out of your shell around us-and I love it!!! I won't even make you walk upstairs and get me coffee anymore-LOL!!!! Pedro-thank you for keeping these guys in line!! We already miss all of you and count down the days until we are back...hopefully soon!!
