So glad we went into Puerto Vallarta on Saturday. The market shopping was fun - bargaining is an acquired art! The Boardwalk was cool with the statues and awesome sand art. Food options are endless. We had a great day adventure!

RIU PALACE PACIFICO

The best part of this hotel was the view of the Ocean from the pool or from almost any room you could see the ocean. However the alcohol was diluted or watered down, there were only 3 restrooms on the whole resort and very far away, we had items stolen out of our room along with many other couples we talked too there, food was just average, I recommend going to Riviera Maya, Iberostar resorts way more variety food is better, friendlier people,

Good service some inconveniences

Great customer service. Reservations required at all but one buffet restaurant was a pain. Took two days to get a reservation. Buffet was set up horrible and difficult to get good fresh food especially at breakfast. Other restaurant food was great. Room service a nice perk but only has cold food. Lounge chairs at pool fill up quickly. Pool was nice but would have preferred an adult pool as well to get away from the kids and large crowds.

Very Fun! Will Be Going Again!

This was my first trip out of the Country and I loved it! The rooms are very clean and neat. The tiled floor is extremely well taken care of is beautifully laid. The food was amazing at every restaurant. I'm a big fan of the buffet and its diverse themes. I got a great tan sitting by the pool for hours a day. The pool is very clear and is cleaned every night. The staff was more than helpful and polite. There is enough to do at the Rio Palace to fill three or four days. It's also in a great spot for shopping along the beach and is within walking distance from the other Rio hotels. This is a great place for friends or a couples retreat. Defiantly an option for my honeymoon.

Nightlife tip: Short drive from hotel

I loved all the clubs in Puerto Vallarta, but a must see is the Foam Party at The Collage Tuesday and Saturday nights. Dress like you normally would when going to a club, but be prepared to get wet.

Awesome stay at the RIU Palace Pacifico

This was the best all inclusive that I've ever stayed at and was nearly perfect from check-in to check out. This is definitely much more relaxed than the Cancun/Riveria May side of Mexico. The attentive service was non-stop. The room was wonderful and more than expected as the partial ocean view was 80% ocean/mountains. We were able to book all 4 theme restaurants with the Steak House being the favorite. The buffet food was very good but the variety tends to be the same over the course of a week. My only "complaint" is that there are no bathroom facilities at the pool so one has to walk either to the spa or lobby. I had read that the tub surface could be slick when stepping in and out of which is very true so one had to use extreme care when showering. Other than those two extremely minor inconveniences everthing else was awesome. I would definitely return to this beautiful paradise!!
