    Absolutely love this resort

    This is my 3rd time staying at the RIU Palace and one of my all time favorite destinations. We love the swim up rooms and everything about the resort. The food, service, friendliness and top notch treatment is amazing!

    Another great vacation at the RIU Palace

    After 10 years we returned to the RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas and as our last vacation this vacation did not disappoint.

    Riu Palace Cabo

    This was our first trip to Cabo. The Riu Palace was beautiful. The drinks seemed somewhat watered down and buffets were lacking. The steak restaurant was amazing. Overall it was a beautiful place to stay and we will definitely come back next year.

    Breathtaking Views!

    The resort was beautiful and our ocean view room was so nice! We had the best waitress named Blanca. We made sure to find her for every meal that we ate at the resort if she was working. The only negative thing about the resort I can say is that the food could have been better, except the breakfast, it was great! Everyone there were very nice and everything was so clean. We will definitely stay here again!
