    Excellent resort

    There is absolutely nothing to complain about at this resort. The food, the room, the cleanliness, the pools, the drinks and the staff (with a couple of exceptions) are all top of the line. The staff in question are not the working staff but the supervisors in the lounge who must think that it is not their job to wait on customers when the regular servers are too busy serving others. What supervisor would ignore a customer long enough that I went to the bar myself for drinks and after I returned to the table he approached me to see if I wanted a snack?????? Management needs to take a hard look at what these people actually do and make some adjustments. Ikmaile and Sylvia should be happy to have the do nothing jobs they have because there are a lot of staff here that work hard and go the extra mile.

    Good trip and resort

    Decent food, what you’d expect from an all inclusive. Resort had some weird rules about food and didn’t enforce ones about poolside loungers. Cecilia, in garden lounge, really made our visit, knew us by first name and played with our child.

    8th time at Riu Palace Costa Mujeres, be back soon!!!!

    Just returned from our 8th time at Riu Palace Costa Mujeres. Fabulous once again, already wanting to go back!!! Just started my weight loss program to lose the extra 10 pounds I came home with! Big thanks going out to management staff, Inigo, Mariana, and a welcome to Luna. You guys are amazing, couldn't ask for better people to welcome us there when we arrive. Thanks to our friends in the dining area, Paco and Lilly. The hardest working , most welcoming pair , always look forward to seeing you both every morning and lunch! Our friend Silva in the lounge area, she works so hard and keeps the cappuccino bar running like a clock. Last and certainly not least, my boy Alfredo at the bar. I curse you every morning, but at night, anything you mix us up is too good, the mint martinis, long island iced teas, and the pink gin and tonics, soooo good! Miss you already, see you soon!

    Best resort

    Best resort ever. We had a fabulous vacation. The rui palace was awesome. The service from the cleaners to the management was top notch. We will definitely be going back. Food was excellent, resort was spotless, and staff was very friendly.

    One of the best Resorts we’ve experienced

    This is one of the only resorts we would definitely come back to. The service was amazing from around the pool but also the beach. The layout of the resort was great. We had a partial ocean front room on the 4th floor. We only tried one restaurant because we were a bigger group and were never able to get a bigger table reserved for us but the main buffet was still pretty good so it’s ok. This is one of the best RIU palace resorts we’ve been to in terms of service, food and drinks. Only improvement suggestion was that we wish there was a better selection of food at the pool bar during lunch for the times we were swimming all afternoon and didn’t want to go upstairs for lunch in the buffet.
