This was a last minute trip for us. We booked 2 days before departure and did not have high expectations. We were very pleasantly surprised! This resort was great for us for a long weekend. We don't have kids so for two adults, 5 days 4 nights, garden suite we had an amazing time. The goal was relaxation and we... More

the Riu is a beautiful resort. The grounds are lovely and very well maintained. Rooms are very nice and large. Biggest problem is the food is not very good. The steak house is really bad and the Mexican restaurant, San Jose is also not very good. Sushi restaurant is good and also the Krystal restaurant is good. It seems that... More

The staff of the RIU Palace were really friendly, very helpful and accommodating to my coworkers and I during our recent trip. One coworker had food allergies, and the staff worked with her to make a menu around her allergies. Unfortunately the options for food late night/early morning is very limited. Coming back from drinking and dancing downtown at 3... More

Stayed at the Riu Palace for 5 nights, and ladies, if your are looking for a trip where you want a relaxing day and a rowdy night, then I highly suggest you book the Riu Palace. You get access to everything at the Santa Fe which in my opinion consists of a more rowdier, and younger crowd. Yet you can... More

I was worried and unsure about some of the previous reviews but figured it would be ok for the 5 days 4 nights quick trip. Well, the hotel was really nice, spacious but not too large like a warehouse. Marble, natural stone and decor were very tasteful and highly maintained. The separate pools were a huge bonus, but the staff... More

We stayed at the Riu Palace during spring break this year and were completely satisfied with our trip. We were with about 30 families of different income levels and the ability to have some folks stay at the less expensive Santa Fe was terrific. We've stayed at other all inclusive properties where the food was so poorly done we rarely... More

The Rui Palace is very nice - lobby, bars, pools (which close at 6:00 PM). I wish I had paid more attention to the reviews as I just thought it was people being a little picky. This place really does a lot wrong. The doors don't close at this hotel, they slam. You hear everything - from the cleaning cart... More

This is our third trip in three years to Cabo. This is our first visit to the Riu Palace. On our previous two visits we stayed at the Barcelo. We were happy with the Barcelo, but wanted to try something a little closer to Cabo. Pros: The staff are truly amazing. The service is the best you can hope for.... More

Room was nice and clean, bed was very comfortable. I liked the idea of the two pool areas. One for volleyball, aerobics etc. and the other a quiet area. Staff works very hard to keep the grounds looking awesome. Really liked the buffets, but not a fan of the restaurants except for Kristal. Buffets had so much food there was... More
