This was our second stay at Riu Palace. On our second afternoon I became quite ill due to food poisoning and was confined in our room for a day and a half. Room service changed our sheets out twice that day without a beat. I like this property and will most likely return in the future.

The property itself is amazing. Shower had a sewer type smell though. Drain was obviously dirty. Ordered room service twice on hotel app. Both times, it never showed up. Had bugs in tequila and they changed that right away. Also, done on app. Buffet staff was awesome! Can’t say enough about the service. I think the steak in buffet was actually a bit better than the steak house steak. Friend ordered a lobster dish in Italian restaurant and got a tiny lobster. The rest of us got good sized ones. The waiter asked if she wanted another tail. The manager came out to let her know he made an exception for her and “it will not happen again tomorrow.” Came across condescending and rude. The waiter on the other hand was great. Swim up bartenders were average, hard to beat the view at swim up bar. Yes, we did tip the staff and they were very grateful. Would stay here again.

Loved how great all the employees were so nice always smiling and saying hi. The only feedback I would say is the rooms could use some updating especially the beds, sheets, tv. Also with room Service there should be more verity of foods to chose from.

The resort and mostly the food was a let down. The restaurants shown on the property were closed most of the time. For the cost of the stay, it was not worth it for buffet style food most of the trip. Selection was very limited and we will not return. Not what we expect with the prices that are charged. We will not stay there again, there are much nicer resorts for the same cost.

Very Nice Stay
It was very good. The staff was excellent. The grounds were beautiful. The beach looked nice but the water is rough which is typical for Cabo..I knew that so it wasnt a shocker. Everyone stays near the pools and they have ALOT of pools. The food was very good..several restaurantsto choose from....no one goes hungry here. We had a swim out room which was great for us...we loved that. Next time I would stay at the Riu Baha because because it would be for older more laid back guests like 50+ which was a little quieter. We were at the Riu Palace which had a lot of the redundant thumping music but if you like that they prob play that for about 3 hours. They just really need to mix it up with other styles of music I would say. Between those properties is Riu Santa Fe which is more like a Rave...lots of partiers so it just depends what you like. You can walk the grounds of all 3. The properties are huge but nice and a good time.

Clean, lots of activities put on by staff. Great parties at the neighbouring resort which you can enjoy. Some staff were a bit rude, but others were very nice. Unfortunately the doors are very thin so we did get woken up every night for a few minutes by noisy vacationers.
