My husband and I stayed at the Riu Palace Pacifico from November 17-December 1, 2012. We have been to Vallarta many times and thought we would try the Riu Palace Pacifico as we had heard wonderful things about Riu hotels. We had booked a partial ocean view room and when we arrived were upgraded to full ocean view. A very... More

My husband and I came here for a week in early February. We were on the 5th floor in a lovely junior suite with an ocean view. The entire place is spotless and fabulously decorated! We ate at the buffets and enjoyed the food, but 3 times a day was a bit much, so one night we went to the... More

This is my second time staying at a Riu Palace, the first being in Playa del Carmen. Similar to the other one, the service is phenomenal. The place is sparkling clean, everyone is friendly. Check in was a breeze. My sister and I got a garden view suite which we sort of regret; it faces the outside sides of the... More

The hotel was clean, all the time, rooms were great, and the food was very good. No matter what your tastes are there is something you... More

We are presently at this great hotel. Last night we visited the other Riu hotels, Jalisco and Vallarta, we would have been disappointed if we had booked there and then saw this hotel, the difference is night and day. Pay the extra and stay here. Staff are very attentive, hotel is spotless and gorgeous and the food ! You could... More

The Hotel and housekeeping was wonderful. Yeni, our housekeeper, was great! She organized everything for us, gave us fresh towels twice a day (morning and night) and even decorated the room for my husband's birthday with balloons, confetti, and mini chocolate Hershey kisses. And she gave us a towel animals everyday! When we checked in, we asked if we could... More

This is a beautiful property and the lobby really does live up to the word "Palace". Bracelets were required - perhaps because guests were also able to use the other two nearby Rius. Rooms were nice, with sitting areas and balconies. The view was less than spectacular, as we overlooked a dirt parking lot and the hotel next door. The... More
