Definitivamente amamos estar hospedados en el Riu Palace Riviera Maya. Nuestras expectativas de viajar a México eran muy altas y sin lugar a dudas las superaron todas. No queríamos salir del hotel, lo hicimos porque hay lugares que son obligatorios conocer en la Riviera Maya, pero estábamos muy felices en el hotel las 24 horas. Comenzando por las personas que nos atendieron, los mexicanos se llevaron nuestro corazón y cada persona del hotel nos dio un trato excelente. Estábamos sorprendidos de la limpieza del hotel, todo estaba impecable y el cuerpo lo dejaban hermoso cada mañana. Nunca imaginamos que hubieran tantas actividades en el hotel proporcionadas por the other services team, con cada una de ellas nos divertimos, nos reímos, bailamos, jugamos, conocimos personas de casi todo el mundo al compartir con ellos gracias a estas actividades. El hotel se preocupó por cada detalle de nuestra estadía, la recepción al darse cuenta que estaba de cumpleaños me decoraron la habitación y me dejaron una felicitación escrita con un detalle, luego los meseros del restaurante japonés me trataron espectacular y me llevaron un pastel hermoso y me cantaron las mañanitas, no pude pasar un mejor cumpleaños!! Y por último algo súper importante, la comida estaba deliciosa, toda la comida nos encantó, hay mucha variedad de restaurantes y se les nota el esfuerzo para que todo tenga un sabor delicioso. Quedamos enamorados de México y muy agradecidos con el hotel. Sin lugar a dudas, volveremos!

Traveled to RIU Palace Riviera Maya for my birthday and it did not disappoint! Friendly staff, excellent cleanliness, wonderful restaurants, great pools, and plenty of activities to do! The all-inclusive aspect is truly great! Most all-inclusive resorts have horrible food, but not this one. The water had some seaweed in it but that’s no fault of the property.

This was our second trip to this property, and this time was even better than the first time (in 2018). The property has been totally remodeled, and the new configuration of the pools is great. This resort also has the best beach area around. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, and the grounds and buildings are clean and fresh.
