All staff was very friendly and professional. They made our trip better. Good service
Everything was amazing
There was hardly any entertainment for the evening. Food was great.
Very lovely facilities. Staff was great. Drinks were great. Breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve had. Even had a Bloody Mary and Mimosa station. The dinner food was pretty good. The steakhouse was the one disappointment. The steak was stringy and the vegetables were like weird, small portions or cut down versions (a slice of corn on the cob). Facilities were excellent. It was half full when I was there, which made it great for getting chairs at our loungers in the pool. COVID protocols were adhered to (temperature check, masks by staff everywhere and by patrons indoors). You always felt very safe. At the time of this writing, you need a PCR test to get back to the states. They let you know this, but you need to be proactive to schedule a time. They will not remind you. It takes 24 hours for the results. Don’t put it off. Only downsides of the COVID was there was less of a bar crowd at the swim up bar or the one lounge. That said, the evening entertainment was very fun. The performers were all very game and talented. Vegas, it was not, but I defy you not to have fun. My only regret was that I needed to spend more time on the beach (water was beautiful) but there was slower service for drinks there. I spent 4 full days 4 nights. One more would have been ideal. Stayed in a suite. It was very nice. Staff was game to come by any time and did a thorough job on cleaning and stocking anything in the mini bar you could want. Very happy here.
Property was great layout of the room was a little disappointing. The toilet area was a little bit too small for someone that’s over 5 foot 7 as I was always hitting my head on the wall wall cleaning myself. The bathtub in the room should have a partition to divide the bed from the tub. The pools were amazing, perfect view excellent temperature. Overall I would recommend this place
Horrible management, we had the fire alarm go off at 2am and they didnt do anything about it. My hisband called 911 and the hotel staff didn't let them in saying its private property, we felt so insecure staying their. I would never go back here.
Perfect for family vacation
It was a nice stay overall. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were very attentive. It felt very covid safe and staff check temperatures and have sanitizer when entering buffet area. My recommendations would be they need more restaurant to dine in. Apparently the Mexican and steak place was more of a buffet which only left 3 dine in restaurants. The best restaurant hand down was Italian which was surprising. They needed more activities like sala dancing, martini making classes. A game room would have been really great with board games and such. I’m surprised they do not have a hot tub with Jets. They really should have one for such a nice place. Lastly my recommendation is to use real fruit when making drinks instead of the super sweet fake liquors.

Beautiful property and wonderful staff.
Great place everything was good Especial saludo a los muchachos da actividades Lidia Diana Said Angel Great job kids
We loved the service and the cleanliness. What we didn’t like were the watered down drinks. There was no good entertainment in the evenings. Pool shuts down too early and no good music playing when pool is open
Everytging was amazing! Very clean and everyone did a great job making sure everything was safe and clean for COVID standards. The staff were above and beyond, very friendly and helpful. The only complaint we had when we were there was that the beds were uncomfortable and instead of giving us two queens or a king, they just pushed two full size beds together...
The food was excellent. 5 star restaurants.

Dear Nishad, Thank you for taking the time to post a review of your stay with us. Since we are fully aware of the importance of a restful sleep, we deeply apologize for the fact that you were woken up by the fire alarm sounding. At the same time, we are very surprised to read your comment. Your safety and that of our other guests is of great importance to us. Therefore, smoke detectors are installed throughout the hotel as well as in the guestrooms. Our electronic internal alarm system constantly monitors the interior of the entire building and automatically passes any fire alarms onto the nearest Fire Brigade Station. At the time of the alarm sounding, team members generally will not be aware of the reason that caused the sounding, at this stage it will only be the investigation crew together with experts from the fire brigades. Finally, we were able to turn of the alarm which was not a result of an actual fire. Again, we are sorry that you felt the fire alarm activation was an annoying experience for you. Please consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with a superior experience. With our best wishes we remain, Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya Online Reputation Manager
