We have been to PV several times and have stayed at 5 different resorts. All of them have their pro's & con's but I can say the Riu Palace is probably the best overall experience we have had. The resort itself was very nice, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was very relaxing. They also served some of the... More

We stayed there the 11th through 16th of May and had an ocean view junior suite. The room was nice, but a little small. The decor was pleasant, but the TV was only about 24 inches. The in-room minibar only had 2 bottles each of pepsi, diet pepsi, dos equis, water, and sprite. It was enough for us, however, as... More

We stayed at the RIU Pacifico in Feb 2012. The rooms are all clean as the hotel is quite new. We had to move rooms twice as they had not reserved an ocean view as booked and paid for. It was very difficult to get a table in the a la carte restaurants. The food was good but predicatble. Not... More

We loved the resort! Due to a hotel style setup, walking was very minimal. We also loved the windy cool down in the afternoon. The pool is amazing, and beach never crowded. We spent a lot of time in the sports bar, where they took great care of us! Room service was also quicker than they said they would be.... More

The facilities are in perfect condition. The pool and beach are beautiful and well maintained. The rooms are comfortable. The staff was very friendly, both in restaurants and in the pool and beach area. The food excellent! Krystal Fusion Restaurant incredible! The purple bar shows beautiful and very well executed. Some tips to make this a perfect hotel: 1. Expand... More

We stayed at Riu Palace the second week in may and experienced the best vacation I could have asked for. After long thought I can not think of a single recommendation to improve this resort. Every single detail from food and entertainment to staff and the rooms was exceptional. This vacation was absolute heaven! A few thoughts: Staff- extremely friendly... More

Sunwing airlines, the Elite Plus upgrade is well worth it, you get to pre reserve your seats and get the extra legroom. The meals were nothing to write home about, and neither were the in-flight movies. But the flight was comfortable (other than the bratty kids behind us heading down who constantly kicked our seats and pawed at our heads).... More

I had the same error code come up on my safe and security did pop the lock quickly but NOTHING was missing including money, 2 iPhones and an IPad. We... More
