Riu Palace Riviera Maya is great!

My husband and I visited this Hotel in April, 2010. The resort was very impressive and spotless. Our room was beautifully furnished and the beds were comfortable. I had a massage and it was the best! The beach service was excellent! We never had an empty glass or lacked for snacks. My husband found many conch shells while walking along the beach. The food options and preparation was good. Playa del Carmen is just a short walk. From there we made the 45 minute trip across to Cosumel. We will probably try a different country for our next vacation, but wouldn't hesitate to return to this resort if in Playa del Carmen.

Great all-inclusive

This was a great value for what we paid and what we received. We came here for our honeymoon---ultimately we decided on this all-inclusive resort because we did not want to have to THINK after all the wedding craziness! And Riu Palace delivered. There were options for various activities but we could also just as easily choose to do our own thing (which is what we did). The choose-your-own restaurant experience was good because I think we may have gotten tired of the buffet for all our meals. The staff was very friendly. Overall, a great value and great experience.
