My husband and I just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay at Riu Palace. The infinity pool was a beautiful sight to see when you exit the gorgeous lobby. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and the grounds were always kept clean. We enjoyed the food expecially at the Japanese Restaurant and the French Restaurant...awesome dinners! The buffet was always good too for lunch and breakfast, no complaints. The buffet was similar to what we have seen at other all inclusives in Cancun. The beach was beautiful! We would have liked a cabana or umbrella on the beach but that would be my only complaint. The activity pool gets kind of wild in the afternoon, I wouldn't have wanted my kids there at that time. It is hard to get a chair by the pool, people put their towels down very early in the morning. Great views from our ocean-front room! Overall, a great time...wish we could have stayed longer.

My husband and I and my 22 year old daughter stayed at the Riu Palace from July 31st through August 7th. It was fantastic. Upon checking in we were offered a tropical fruit drink and the staff was very friendly. Our room was ready it was a Jr. Suite overlooking the pool and beach area. The view was spectacular. We had a King size bed which was very comfortable not hard like many other reviews stated. There was no smell near the elevators like we also read. The Food was wonderful in the buffet area where we ate pratically all our meals except the Steakhouse one night which we did not care for. We also went out to a Seafood Restaurant for Lobster one other night. Suprisingly the Italian Food was not bad. Had Pizza and Linguini with Garlic and Oil. Deserts could be a little better though. Grounds were immaculate, hotel you could eat off the floors. People always cleaning. My daughter met alot of young people her age there and was out every night. Many young adults with their families. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who will listen. We were all crying on the way home because we had such a great time and met great people. Plan on going back next year for a longer time.

I just came back from Riu Palace Las Americas. Stayed for a week with my wife and two kids(8yrs and 6mths). The four of us had a great time. We have no complains, loved the service, all the staff were very friendly and helpful (the entertainment staff are the best), the food was very good. The room was very comfortable and clean. We had an unforgettable week and would love to go back....

We stayed the week of July 29-Aug. 5 at The Riu Palace. This was our fifth vacation in the Cancun area and thirteenth in Mexico, but our first stay at a Riu resort. The Palace is a very attractive and clean property, with spacious rooms, wide hallways, two pools, a friendly, attentive staff, and excellent food. We spent the entire week in the resort, on the beach (small but adequate) and in the sun (hot!). All but two of our meals were in the buffet restaurant, and we thought the variety of food offered was exceptional. With so much to choose from, only the pickiest of eaters would be bored. One dinner we ate in the Brazilian restaurant (good) and one in the steak restaurant (fair). Everywhere we ate the service was very good. No problems with our bed. In the bathroom the tub was curved at the bottom on both sides, and this made standing to take a shower a bit tricky at first, and the water tended to vary between hot and cold, but these were minimal aggravations. Otherwise it was a most enjoyable week. I would recommend it to everyone regardless of age.
