The resort was well maintained and clean. All the staff were friendly and courteous. There is a lot of different activities for the young and the old. My 16-yr old son enjoyed the friendly competition in the ping pong tournament. There are different games in the pool area, bingo, and fitness classes with instructors. There’s even activities for toddlers! I highly recommend RIU Palace in Riviera Maya!!

I thought the property was clean, rooms were clean, nice adult area pool and swim up bar. There were activities by the other pool each day and entertainment at night. Several options for dining and buffet. Didn’t care as much for the dining places so ended up doing buffet more. The steakhouse dinner was really good but others we tried didn’t like as much. All and all in was a nice resort.
