Overall RIU Palace Mexico is a good stay. Rooms and the hotel need some paint. It also need a little upgrade. Food overall was good. The beach was the best part of the resort. Staff at this property super nice and hard working.

The beach was nice, clean with very little seaweed in the water and no seaweed on the beach. The area between the pool and the beach was covered in palm trees so an umbrella wasn't needed to sit out close to the water. The pool area was clean and well maintained with one pool just for adults which was nice. The dining options were varied enough that we didn't have to just eat at the buffet style restaurant. The resort was big enough to be spacious, but not a lot of walking was needed to get from our room to the pools, restaurants or beach. The evening entertainment options were not that great and seemed geared towards an older crowd, but there were more entertainment options at the two other RIU resorts less than a five minute walk away

Experiência muito boa. Staff muito simpático, opções de alimentação muito boas e praia maravilhosa. Não rankeamos 5 pela oportunidade de melhoria no ar condicionado (capacidade de resfriamento limitada ou com problemas que não resolveram) e área do vaso sanitário com exaustão insuficiente (ou com problemas que não resolveram).
