Compared to other Riu Palace this one we will not return. Were at Riu Mexico few years ago and like the staff much better. We were at Riu Las Americas - Cancun last July 2025, foods are better, staff more friendly and go the extra mile same as Riu Peninsula last year You need to "retrain" the staff at front desk especially Lupita. We were loyal customers & are member, everywhere we go we will offer an upgrade to ocean view room. When we requested, she said no more ocean view and later said if we paid $30 more per night. So you do not have any ocean view room available or only when we have to pay? Are you taking us for an idiot? Mostly disappointed after being Riu member and going to Riu EVERYWHERE including Majorca and Canary Islands and this is THE FIRST TIME we were refuse an upgrade room! For food at Steak House they overcooked the meat and the lobster, ask for rare steak came out completely well done and lobster half burned and not fresh same as at the Italian restaurant! The only good restaurant was Crystal, excellent everything. Buffet ok. Compared to other Palace we stayed this one is the worse one from Bahamas, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Aruba, Maldives, Panama, Europe and all locations in Mexico: Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Los Cabos etc... WE WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS RIU'S LOCATION.

There was so much attention to detail. They had everything we needed. We did not need to leave the property. Lots of entertainment and activities for everyone. The staff was friendly and genuinely cared about the satisfaction of the guests. We had a great time and would definitely return or try other RIU properties.
