    Great Time

    This was our second time at the Riu PP. Very happy with cleanliness of room and across hotel. Food and food selection was pretty good for all inclusive dining. As my wife took exercise classes every day this was huge for her and she was very happy (thank you Jasmine!!). It’s often times the little extras and stand out service that makes the experience- the evening bar cart, Louisa at the steak restaurant, everyone at the front desk, etc. Evening entertainment varied (silent disco was fun) but hopefully they will mix it up a bit, particularly for those who return and enjoy seeing something new.

    First time and first class experience

    Excellent service from arrival to departure. Rooms, property in general, pools and dining options terrific. First time to PV area and a RIU property. Will definitely return. -met by Gerardo upon arrival and connected with him almost daily. Incredibly friendly and helpful. -Janet in La Peninsula was a daily excellent ambassador for breakfast. -Kiki in reception bar cart with whisky sours amazing. - we enjoyed the variety and food options at the various onsite eating locations, often ending up at sports bar for watching games. - the pool and beach areas and in fact entire property were always well maintained and clean in same way as Disney franchise. -walked numerous times to Bucerías to meet friends and also down beach. Dropped in to see RIU Jalisco newly renovated. Would be great for families. -really appreciated the adult only aspect of this property. Thanks you RIU team!

    Absolutely wonderful

    This resort was WONDERFUL! We came with a group of 160+ people and I didn’t hear one complaint. The rooms were really clean, the staff were incredible, the food was delicious and the resort itself was hands down one of my favorite. Well done Riu Palace! WELL DONE!

    This is the spot!

    Went during New Year! This location is perfect and very well kept. This is Adults only, and very clean. Service is excellent and food choices are awesome. We had 2 rooms and I request to be close by and they accommodated my request. There are 3 pools and with all inclusive you do not have to worry about drinks and food. Being there for 7 days I think I did not eat same thing any day. You have alot of choices and some high end restaurants, you may need to make reservations or get there early to be put in waitlist, but it was easy. Entertainment was fun during New Years. Service was excellent and people and staff were very polite and super helpful.
