We were transfered to the Riu Palace after the 5 star hotel we booked closed for renovations. We were nervous since we loved our other resort, but the Riu Palace was very comparable! The food was excellent and we found ourselves looking forward to our next meal. There is such a variety of food, we never got sick of it.... More

We've stayed at the Palace -- STUFFY! The Riu Jalisco had so much concrete and the kids were absolutely nOT allowed at the swim up bar! Not cool with us. Maybe cool for you;. The Jalisco has beautifully landscaped grounds, is clean, and the swim up bar was available to us AND our kids! Very kid friendly. Beach clean &... More

We have been to PV several times and have stayed at 5 different resorts. All of them have their pro's & con's but I can say the Riu Palace is probably the best overall experience we have had. The resort itself was very nice, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was very relaxing. They also served some of the... More

This was my first time on the Pacific side of Mexico and my 4th stay at a RIU. This was the cleanest resort I have ever been to. The rooms were wonderful and they ugraded us for free to a partial ocean view room, which was more like a full ocean view all because we asked our travel agent to... More

We stayed there the 11th through 16th of May and had an ocean view junior suite. The room was nice, but a little small. The decor was pleasant, but the TV was only about 24 inches. The in-room minibar only had 2 bottles each of pepsi, diet pepsi, dos equis, water, and sprite. It was enough for us, however, as... More

We stayed at the RIU Pacifico in Feb 2012. The rooms are all clean as the hotel is quite new. We had to move rooms twice as they had not reserved an ocean view as booked and paid for. It was very difficult to get a table in the a la carte restaurants. The food was good but predicatble. Not... More

We loved the resort! Due to a hotel style setup, walking was very minimal. We also loved the windy cool down in the afternoon. The pool is amazing, and beach never crowded. We spent a lot of time in the sports bar, where they took great care of us! Room service was also quicker than they said they would be.... More
