Riu Palace Mexico
This resort is beautiful. We stayed 7 days and were there for my son's wedding. The staff is very friendly. There were times when we had miscommunication, but that is to be expected in a country that speaks a different language than you. The beach area is beautiful with a large area of palm trees to shade the lounging area. We didn't think we would like the trees, but it turned out to be one of our favorite things about the resort. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from for meals, and room service was very quick. Hats off to the waiters who remembered us from day to day and were very attentive to our needs. The only negative thing is the beds are hard and look very uncomfortable, but to our surprise we slept very well every night. We definitely will stay here again!!
Riu Palace Mexico
The hotel was excellent. Great pool for kids. Service was great. Everyone was very polite and helpful. This hotel was very big. So you did have to walk quit alot, but the hotel is worth it. The buffet had a large variety of food. It just did not change much from day to day.If you are planning on doing a lot of site seeing, this hotel is far away from most attractions. If you plan to stay at the hotel property, there are many things to keep you busy because there are five hotels and a disco club on the property. You do not have to worry about transportation from hotel to hotel because they have a trolley that will take you.I would definitely return to this hotel.
Great Place
The Riu came recommended from several of our friends and lived up to their raves. The room was beautiful as was the hotel itself. The bed in the room was a little hard for my taste, but was very comfortable anyway. The staff in all the bars and restaurants was pleasant and there to serve us in any way we needed. The location could not have been better and the pool and beach were gorgeous. Would definitely stay again and recommed this hotel to friends and family!
Riu Palace Mexico
The staff was very friendly and responded to our needs. It was a great place to go with a family and friends, as we did both. It was a 5 cab ride to 5th Ave, where the shopping is. There is also a shopping area across the street, in walking distance from the hotel. Not as much to choose from there as on 5th Ave, but still alot. There is plenty to do as far as excursions go, but you could spend all of your time at the resort and still have a full vacation. You can parasail from the beach on the resort along with other water activities. Xcaret is a good place to go but get your tickets online before you go. They give you a 10% discount on park entry and dolphin swim online. That is better than any deal you'll get on the street or at the resort. Xel-Ha is also a really nice plpace to spend a day. If you are young and want to party, you'd be better off staying at Riu Tequilla. Palace Mexico is calmer and more family friendly. There aren't many kids there (Palace Mexico) but you can bring your kids there and not worry about what they'll see or hear!
Great Place
We stayed here one night, and I wished we could of stayed our entire trip at the Palace. Wonderful food, great service, friendly staff. Just a beautiful hotel with an excellent beach. The only complaint that we had was the beds, which are very hard. I would still recommend this hotel to everyone. The other ammenities of this hotel make up for the bed. We had room service and everything was excellent. Wonderful buffet of everything you could imagine. We can't wait to go back again.
2nd time around
I have only 3 Regrets with this trip 1st our honeymoon wasn't long enough 2nd I got sick on the last day and had to miss my reservation for dinner and 3rd I used the wrong travel agency that caused me to be a day late. But as for the Rui Palace Mexico it is #1 The staff, the food, the beach, everything about it. I justcan't say enough about the place you need to experience the place for yourself. I plan to go back again Thank you Rui Palace for making our honeymoon so great.
