We had an amazing time at this resort! The rooms were spacious and clean, with beautiful views from the balcony. The beach was fantastic, and the food options were plentiful. The staff were incredibly helpful and made our experience even better. However, the noise from the cleaning staff early in the morning was disruptive, and we had a few minor issues with our room that could use some attention.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which truly feels like paradise. The rooms were spacious and kept impeccably clean, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The dining experience was excellent, with a variety of food options that never got boring. However, we did face some issues with the pool area, particularly with sunbed reservations not being enforced. Additionally, the gym facilities left a lot to be desired. Overall, despite a few minor issues, we would definitely recommend this hotel.

My stay at the RIU Palace Riviera Maya was a blend of fantastic and frustrating. The beautiful beach and well-maintained facilities were a huge plus, while the crowded atmosphere and some service issues dampened the experience. The food options were incredible, but managing the dining during peak times was a challenge. Overall, there’s something magical about this resort, though some improvements would make it even better.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel with some really memorable aspects. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful, which created a warm atmosphere. However, the initial room we booked was disappointing in terms of decor and cleanliness, but the upgraded room was worth it. The food options were varied, but I found some of the a la carte dining experiences lacking. The location was convenient, especially for shopping and leisure activities nearby, but my overall experience was clouded by an unfortunate incident during my stay.

I had a fantastic stay at this resort, with amazing renovations done throughout the property. The pools are wonderful, allowing for both relaxation and fun. The variety of food at the restaurants was really impressive, catering to different tastes, especially for picky eaters. However, the room's layout was a bit awkward for families, and I found the new decor in some areas not to my liking. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd love to return.
