Glad I didn’t reconsider after reading negative reviews.. we enjoyed everything about our stay at the Riu Palace. If you can’t find anything good to eat you have to be an extremely picky eater. The food was fresh (especially the huge salad bars) and plentiful of all types of cuisine. Pool service and staff were amazing! Your choice of pools makes for those wanting to chill or those wanting a party vibe with great music and drinks! Our room was gorgeous.. corner balcony jr suite with hot tub inside and on the private balcony. Maid service was excellent! 10/10 all the way around for our stay!

Normally, I do not write a review whether my experience was good or bad at a resort, but this particular experience pushed me to write a review. Prior to arriving at the resort I requested some things for the room because we were celebrating a birthday. When we got to the room, it was a double bed when I requested a king sized bed also it wasn’t very clean in the room. I went to front desk to change the room and it was a little better up until the electricity blew out twice and help did not come right away. I almost missed my reservations that I had at a steakhouse. We were then moved to the room next-door which was fine Iguess but I never experienced anything like this. It took 24 hrs for someone to bring a remote for the television in the room. I was over it, I didn’t want to complain while on vacation because we were celebrating but I made sure to remember to write a review!

Everything was great only thing I’d say is to change sheets after I’ve used them.

The room was old and needs updating. Issues with water pressure. Key card didn't work well and had to keep getting it recharged. Mini bar wasn't stocked.
