The staff at Riu are fantastic! Even though they work so hard to make us feel happy, they still have the greatest smile on their faces, always joking and saying kind words. The Jerk chicken Hut or the beach was my favourite food. Always juicy, delicious and cooked to perfection. The beach is fantastic and the water just perfect. Our whole trip was amazing.

Property: Clean, well maintained, ample amenities, modern. Staff: Friendly, very attentive, well trained. Beach view: Beach front property with private access to wonderful beach. Extremely perfect for ocean bath. Flat for about quarter of a mile. Food: Great quality and variety in the buffet serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 4 restaurants, 1 cafe, 3 bars, 1 hut, and a 24 hour snack bar.

Lovely resort right in the beach. Not too big and you can even go over to the other Riu resort down the beach and eat there too with your all-inclusive bracelet. The beach is AMAZING. Drinks are great, food is good overall. Highly recommend reserving a dinner at the Steak House- our favourite of the restaurants there. Staff were always helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The beach is definitely the highlight - beautiful, clean, and perfect for relaxing. However, areas around the trees need some maintenance, as there were rocks and small branches that should be cleared. The property is a bit dated but very well kept. Service was inconsistent—some staff were friendly and engaging, while others seemed less attentive. Adding benches around the property would be a great improvement, both for enjoying the beautiful sunsets and especially for guests with mobility issues. The buffet was very good, but the specialty restaurants were disappointing and need improvement in both service and food quality. Overall, a great location with strong potential, but some areas could use attention to enhance the experience.

I was so pleased with Hotel Riu Palace. The room was nice and large with a balcony facing the ocean, The buffet was huge and had so many delicious choices. It also has 4 small restaurants (must reserve 2 days in advance) that were intimate with wonderful food. The staff couldn't have been nicer. The bars were numerous (loved the "swim up" bar!). They even had a free minibar in the rooms, which is pretty much unheard of. My only complaint is there is no elevator. We were on the 3rd floor, so multiple trips up and down the stairs was not ideal. That is my ONLY complaint!
