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!!

It is a beautiful property with great beachfront and a walkable beach in both directions and you felt safe walking on the sidewalk. Having access to other resorts was great since one had tennis, basketball and pickleball that this resort did not. Food and drinks were amazing, and I liked not having to make a reservation at the specialty restaurants. Nightly entertainment was good too. Staff were friendly, attentive and it was very clean. Halls can be a bit noisy at nighttime, but if you aren't facing the centre, the outside is quiet.

If you like cold and quiet room to sleep in- look for another property. We spent the whole day moving from one room to another, trying to fix ac in each room, only to find out, thats how all rooms are centrally cooled- barely to 76 degrees even if the ac stays on 24/7. On top of that the ac is extremely loud, louder than any other hotels Ive ever stayed at. At $ 500 per night, its a joke. The beach is completely eroded with sandbags, rocks and tons of seaweed. You need to walk to another hotel's beach to swim. Which again, at $ 500 per night is completely unacceptable and should have been clearly indicated in the description. Eventually they agreed to switch hotels to another RIU property in Cancun, but we paid a total of $ 150 worth of taxi fairs and lost one full day of vacation.
