We stay at several different RIUs from Cabo to Cancun. We were disappointed with the food, which was very good in the past and our bedding was old and needed replaced. One of the sheets had a hole and a bed cover. The heavy extra blanket I used had the edging torn loose and you could stick your fist thru it. The cafeteria had mostly the same food daily. The Italian restaurant is always a favorite of the wife and neither of us were impressed. Won’t go to that RIU again. The Vallarta’s just down the road and they do a much better job. We are headed to Los Americas in January and if it any better, we will look for a different chain to try.

Love the RIU. 2nd stay there. The staff is so friendly. Love the beach just feet from leaving the nice rooms. Lobby bar always a fun hang. Bartenders and everyone working there are the best people. Food options are great. Love everything about the RIU. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to try an all-inclusive resort. My only advice is, be kind and don't be cheap with your servers! A couple of bucks goes a long way.

This is an immaculately clean and beautiful property. The staff is wonderful, extremely friendly and attentive. You feel like royalty from the minute you arrive. The food at all the restaurants was amazing. We did the Elite Club and our room had an amazing view, and the beach cabanas were an awesome benefit to elite. Other than that, there was nothing special about elite. The only downside to this property is the distance from Puerto Vallarta, it’s about a $40 taxi round trip, so if you want to go shopping or any activities take that into consideration. We spent a week at RIU Palace and did get a little bored. A person can only party and drink so much. Lol Overall it is an amazing resort. Book it.

Staff were all courteous and friendly. A special thanks goes to Jose Antonio, at the front desk check in. The room was very clean, comfortable and everything worked well. The entertainment was good for the most part. The beach was clean but, at times the outside people were annoying trying to sell stuff to the guests. I have been to many RIU’s in my travels and rate this facility an 8-9 overall. Rc.
