I had a wonderful week at Riu Palace Mexico, enjoying the beautiful beach and the amusing activities for kids. The service was really good, with staff like Leonardo and Raul going above and beyond. However, I encountered issues such as some seaweed on the beach and minor inconveniences with the room. Overall, I'd call it a great family vacation.

Our room was spacious and clean, with great air conditioning. However, the bathroom layout was odd, and we faced issues like changing sheets during our stay, which wasn't ideal.

The resort is beautifully located along a sandy beach in the Playacar estate. The area was well-kept, although it could be better lit at night for safety.

The food was among the best I've had at an all-inclusive, with a variety of choices, especially loved the tacos. However, the late-night snacks at the 24-hour lounge were often old and lukewarm.

I just had an amazing stay at Riu Palace Mexico! The hotel itself is beautiful, and the service from the staff was great. I especially loved the variety of dining options and how accommodating everyone was. However, I did notice some issues with beach sellers and the noise at the pool, which was a bit overwhelming at times.

Rooms

My room was spacious and clean, featuring a well-stocked fridge and coffee machine. However, the bathroom was a bit small and had a strong odor. I think the rooms could use minor touch-ups here and there.

The hotel is located in the secure Playacar estate, right on a long sandy beach. The area was well-maintained and made for lovely walks, but I was not a fan of the nearby independent vendors who could be pretty persistent.

I just returned from a two-week all-inclusive vacation at Riu Palace Mexico, and overall, it was a fabulous holiday! The staff and service were superb, making every experience enjoyable. However, I felt the rooms could use some updating, as they were a bit bland and had maintenance issues that needed addressing.
