This hotel was amazing! The hotel felt very safe, there was security everywhere. The hotel was newly renovated, and everything was clean to my liking! My room was spacious with a beautiful ocean view. The restaurants were amazing. The pool area was clean and gorgeous to hang out in. The staff accommodated me Very quickly on the beach with a cabana. You also have the luxury of walking next-door to the other Riu to explore. As a solo traveler, I felt completely safe. I would recommend 10 stars!
It was freshly renovated and beautiful. Very clean and great staff. The amenities were limited for their elite club, I expected a little more accommodation for what I paid. The app also didn’t work for most things so it was kind of pointless. Food was okay, I’ve had better. But staff was very helpful and kind!
Best all-inclusive food was great staff was so friendly and the rooms were really nice. A lot of fun activities at the pool and they have things to do at night.
The entire staff were extremely welcoming, friendly and professional. The rooms were large and comfortable; the facilities were well maintained, and the gym was well equipped, and opened 24 hours. I really enjoyed my stay here.

This was our second time visiting RIU palace and it was absolutely phenomenal. Cleanliness, delicious food, and all friendly staff! Will be back with children and grandchildren.
Our trip was during the first week of August 2026.
I only have good things to say about this trip. This is my third Riu All-inclusive Hotel that I have beento, and like the other two Riu's, they never dissapoint.
I am a 63 yr old grandmother, and on this trip I went with my 18 year old college bound grandson. We are on oppposite ends of life-experiance and view-of-the-world- spectrum and it worked. We did stuff together, and went our own ways too. We both had a wonderful time.
The facility was in excellent condition and exceeded my expectations - I had read that they had been undergoing renovations; those renovations are completed.
Both grandson and I had a wonderful time.
There was buffet style dining, and fine dining. All were excellent. It was very easy for us to eat healthy - lots of fresh foods. One could go in a different direction with amazing desert options.
Lots of entertainment and activities. At night my grandson participated in these, while I went to bed : )
All staff members we interatcted with were excellent. Our room was clean, and had a balcony with a view of the Carribean Ocean.
We didn't want to go back home - I seriously considered adding another two days onto this trip, but did not want to loose a day making phone calls to set that up.
My wife and me had an amazing time. We didn’t experience anything bad. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we our needs were met. We can’t wait to go back.
We were so impressed with the hotel. Tatiana at the Steakhouse and Milano restaurant was the best. She was very welcoming. The entire staff was welcoming and friendly.
