Aug 26, 2025AVOID AND GO ANYWHERE ELSE
So many of the staff were rude. Rules seemed to change depending on staff whim and day to day. Absolutely no consistency. When I called it out on one of these rules stating that it was "stupid that we can't take the restaurant food out of the restaurant" when it was already ordered, because it took over an hour to get to our table and in the mean time my wife started feeling bad so she went back to her room. There were no other good options for food left (room service food selection is a joke, and the 24 hour cafe lounge is disgustingly bad) so I said I'd even get a plate from the buffet area to take back to her since that was an issue that the waiter brought up saying they were special. The waiter didn't really understand english well, which is fine, so I asked him to get his manager. But he must have told the manager I called *him* stupid instead of the situation. The manager came out aggressively and before I could even say a word to him, threatened to have me kicked out of the resort. For what? Even if I *did* say that, why is he coming out and escalating the situation to that point? What is this power trip for and what did it to to resolve anything? From what point onwards I no longer wanted to be at the resort but had no choice for a few days longer. Definitely didn't feel safe in the premises anymore when a simple WORD could get you kicked out. Even as I was trying to explain the situation to this manager at the italian restaurant, Javier, he seemed uninterested in having a conversation and was instead just grabbing his walkie talkie as if he was gonna make the call to have me taken out. Why was *I* the one trying to deescalate this situation? What kind of service is this? Mind you this wasn't the only situation that resulted in terrible service, but it was certainly unreal that this even occured.

Aug 25, 2025Beautiful Hotel
This hotel/resort is very nice and clean. Staff are friendly and welcoming. From where our room was located there was lots of walking and steps leading to the main eating area and pools so be prepared. Lol. Otherwise I had a great time! I rated sleep quality as average because our bed was not that comfortable but I’m used to a higher quality mattress at home so that’s MY opinion only!

Relax stay
I spent two nights only after a week long of adventure in La Paz. I was able to relax it was a great time at Riu Palace Baja California adults only. It was peaceful and quiet just what we were looking for.
