The Riu Palace was mid at best, but good for what we needed. You can tell that the rooms are pretty dated but they maintain the "public" outside areas well. The buffet restaurant is great- variety of options and good quality. The speciality restaurants are a bit of a joke but there's 2 buffets to fall back on so it's not worth complaining about.

Tried reaching out to you for a refund but to no avail - we never arrived at the RIU for our vacation due to medical reasons so we were not at the resort! However the customer service was terrible even for being a valued RIU member. Some curtesy should have been provided due to the loss of over 4000.00. If you recd this please contact me!

Rooms are nice and spacious, but need additional electrical outlets and also need better bathroom/shower lighting. They need benches in the shower and toiletry shelving would be nice. The double shower heads and water pressure were great! Beds and pillows very comfortable! Ocean view awesome! Food was delicious and an incredible variety ever single meal! Housekeeping, dining, bars and reception staffing was extremely hospitable, friendly…par excellence!
