Grounds were beautiful. Rooms were clean and cool. Food selection was not good. Room service was awful and had only a few items. Maybe 4. Would not stay here again based on the food. Hospitality was decent at best when it came to food. Drinks were good. Atmosphere was fun and uplifting.

We had rooms 0171 and 0172 not connected but door entries facing each other with one common second door to the corridor. One king the other 2doubles. Spacious rooms. Garden view meaning to the adjacent bahia principe(sp?). Seating area plus balcony. Easy to accommodate a cot. Beach is outstanding 10 the week we were there mar6-13, 2025. Can’t always find chairs if you show up after 10am. The staff are happy to get them for you. They load up drinks with way too much liquor than a mixed drink would normally have. The steakhouse is worth it. Get there at six because first come first serve. They put your name down for second and third seating at 730 and 830 if they can’t accommodate. The buffet was generally full of something for everyone. Day Entertainment was minimal and night went from exceptional to lack luster depending on the night. Range of guests families to singles to couples to seniors. Went on premium snorkel. Nice outing but lots of other boats around I would say at least 15. Our lead Ramon basura was excellent and constantly took head count. We had about 15 pple. The Riu palace was my favourite configuration of all the rius.

Omg what is not to like. The grounds were beautiful. The rooms were beautiful. The buffet was so good. Tons of options. Shout out to Ruby for taking such good care of us. The italian restaurant had a good salad bar but the food was very mediocre.I had ravioli and they were a little too firm. The Spanish restaurant was also mediocre. I had the pig cheek and it was just okay. The Asian restaurant Yokohama was very good. I had the salmon and would recommend. The French restaurant Crystal was good too. The beef was melt in your mouth. The steakhouse was my absolute favorite. I had a ribeye and a carribean lobster. The lobster omg! The entertainment was hit and miss for me. The drink service was top notch and Arial made sure we wanted for nothing. I felt like royalty. They have a huge area but the shows and music are for 70 plus and little kids. Then the Riu party are is for 20-30. I only stayed about a half hour. Was feeling a bit creepy. I’m 48 and wanted something in between the two.They are really missing out in this demographic. The beach was beautiful. There are a lot of palm trees so you have your choice of sun or shade. They also bring you drinks on the beach! Again feeling like royalty. The water is clean and warm. The sand is soft and the lawn chairs are plentiful. The only downside, and there is nothing the resort can do about this, but the pushy vendors. The massage people just start touching you and won’t take no for an answer. Ugh.

The property was beautiful, but the rooms smelled moldy and musty when I told guest services they didn’t seemed too concerned. They were dirty dishes every where in hallways, in ashtray, in lobby. When we checked in guest services said we DIDNT NEED RESERVATIONS for the 5 restaurants on the property but guess what you kinda did or you had to stand in line for hour and still my not get to eat and all the restaurants had very, very limited selection. The buffets were ok but I didn’t want to eat the buffet every meal.
