We came to Riu Palace for 4 nights in January to avoid a blizzard in Boston.
The room was large and very clean. It had a great balcony. The bed was comfortable. The daily cleaning was excellent. We did leave a tip every day. The room service was good and they filled our fridge with the beverages we requested.
The beach was AWESOME, maybe the best beach we have ever been too. The pool was great too. The only complaint was if you wanted a ‘Hut”, you’d have to get up at 6:00 AM, get your towel the night before, and run to the beach to secure your space. I sat there 4 days in a row for 5-6 hours per day and some people didn‘t show up until noon or later or not at all. The staff was supposed to remove towels and belongings after 2 hours but it never happened. Same thing happened at the pool. Also, they give out cards for one towel at the beach. That was annoying.
The food was just OK. The drinks were watered down and the wine was terrible. Bring your own. You shouldn't drink 8 drinks and feel nothing. Everyone tried hard to make it the best.
It reminded us of a cruise on land.
There isn’t much to do besides sit on the beach and go to the pool and eat.
Overall, it was a good experience and we would return. We went for the beach and it delivered.
