Wrong booking or rip-off?
At check-in we were told that we were booked with a baby instead of a child (our 12 year old son) despite I had a reservation for 2 adults and 1 child from our agent (hotels.com / Expedia). That costed me another $330 for 5 days and the manager didn't help at all to clear thing up.

2/10 Poor

There was a smell in the room that was overwhelming. The food was not prepared properly. I ordered lobster ravioli and smelled it before it got to the table and had to send it back. The liquor was cheap. Every member of the group came back with some type of stomach issue.

Riu Palce is absolutely beautiful. Friendly staff and comfortable property. I would highly recommend. We have noticed in the times we have used Hotels.com at each property the room we are placed in is always next the the elevators and maid's closets/rooms. It is noisy, busy, and not very clean in the area just ouside the employees work area. Apparently the hotels.com rooms are not top quality or run of the house, but the less desirable rooms on the properties. it is most discouraging.

Birthday trip
Went on trip for my birthday with family. You have access to the sister hotel next door. Great entertainment and parties. Food at buffet was good. At the restaurant not so much. Drinks were water down ridiculously which was a bummer so i just stuck with wine. Over all had a good experience.

We came here forca friends birthday, all adults. The property is beautiful, the ocean view is amazing. All the pools are infinity. Multiple pool bars, the Italian food was my favorite but all of the food was great. Four themed parties a week, awesome for an adults only trip. Be warned, the white party is a foam party 😂. The rooms are fabulous with a self serve mini bar. The area in front of the resort is never swimable, but there is an area clpse by on calmer days. As with most resorts, there is a lot of walking but there were also a LOT of stairs. Overall, a beautiful property that I would definitely go back to.

We had a wonderful time here. Special thanks to Iris at the breakfast buffet for keeping the mimosas flowing and Gail at the pool bar. They made our trip extra special. We've never had any issues staying at Riu's and will continue to do so! Thanks for a relaxing vacation.

Overall thought the stay at the Riu Palace was great value. Beautiful property with a friendly staff and lots of dining options. Only complaint I’d say is the quality of food was sub par. Lots of options but the quality was poor and was often cold. A la carte’s were better but had very limited menus.
