This hotel is very nice, comfortable rooms, pool and restaurants. Food was very good. Drinks were strong enough for me! Walkable distance to downtown if you are in decent condition- it is about 2 miles. Bus ride is $1 usd and cabs are $12usd. Ivethis a fabulous attendant in the main buffet. I have no complaints and would certainly enjoy... More

This is our first trip back to Cabo after 16 years. I decided to book an all-inclusive hotel since our main agenda is to completely do nothing. I wasn't sorry to have picked this hotel. The value is great. The location is not too far to town. We took the water taxi on the beach to the Marina ($5 per... More

We are a large group of family and friends ages 18-50 and all enjoyed our weeklong stay at Riu Palace. Rooms: - beds are very comfortable but best for only 2 people (beds are two twins pushed together) - pillows are too soft - fridge stocked w beverages daily - tv is old but okay. Channels are english/spanish but you... More

The Good: - Great location near the city. It only takes 5 minuts to get to the city. That makes it very accessible to shops, restaurants, and activities. I stayed at Barcelo last year which was 20-25 minutes away which made it pretty much inaccessible.. In my opinion the RIU's location is perfect. Far enough to get away from the... More

I loved this place. It is very clean, superbly maintained grounds and a picturesque view of Cabo. The room was quite OK-yes the TV was state of the art in1994 and yes the couch has been around for a while- but the bathroom is very nice and roomy. The food was excellent, with lots and lots of choice, typically 6... More

Beyond beautiful ! Stayed 4 nights and wished we could have stayed more. Staff excellent, food delicious, and pools amazing. We ate at 3 of the restaurants and enjoyed our meals very much. Shout out to William at the Krystal for making our evening so special. Hope to return to the Riu next summer. The only negative was the noise... More

This was my second time at the palace. It was great. But it's over played now. Pools are falling apart and they are always digging up tiles in the resort. If you going to the palace you will get bored if you aren't a clubbing person or a person to watch their tacky shows. The city is a $12 cab... More

My cousin and I really enjoyed staying at this resort. We shared a room and had plenty of space to move around. I'll break this review up: Pool: LOVED it! We spent our time at the "party" pool. The entertainment staff was hilarious! We didn't really participate, but had a great time watching! The waiters were very efficient and courteous.... More

I was at the Riu Palace June 8 – June 14. Overall, it was a mixed experience. We loved Cabo and plan to come back. We’re on the fence as to whether or not we’ll stay at the Riu Palace. Pros: Good value. I paid less than $1500 for six nights I flew in from CA, but I had other... More
