I really enjoyed the beach at Riu Palace Tropical Bay. What I didn’t like about the property, however, is that all three of its pools close at 6 p.m. and so does the swim-up bar. I really wish one of the pools would have stayed open until 10 p.m., because that would have given my family and I more time to enjoy the resort after our excursions.
