4/10 Fair

Rate 5.5
there is no way that this resort should be rated this high. Let’s start with the good. Pool and entertainment (shows/activities as pool) excellent! Terrible cleanliness, outlets didn’t work, mold, cracked glass in shower, front desk upon arrival lack of welcome and details, restaurant service was excellent but no one shares the process or procedures as the best restaurant(steakhouse) has time slots that full up every night. Spa service was amazing but outdated and need to clarify age limits to services. Sunset cruise excellent when not crowded not was told could be up to 100 people.
Ashley, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

great price, great food, everything opens late 9-10am, everyone was very friendly and felt safe
Taylor Rose, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property was very nice, the staff was excellent very nice and friendly. Walks on the beach the locals were very nice as well. The only issue is the keys to my room never worked. I had to visit the front desk every time we left our room which made it very annoying.

Love every element of the resort, it was our 6th visit and, staff remembered us from previous trips. Entertainment is awesome, food options are many. Easy to get transportation to visit the City. The service at night, is great, they new what we wanted after the first order. All staff very friendly, we will be back hopefully.

RIU Palace was beautiful. It looks big and expansive from the outside, however everything is withing easy walking distance from pools to rooms to restaurants and the beach
Julie Leanne, 6-night trip

2/10 Poor

Beware
Was there 3 days, contracted an infection that went through bloodstream, extremes pain, vomiting, swelling, unable to walk etc. still in hospital trying to get well enough to fly home…hotel had zero empathy other than doctors who called ambulance…in fact, manager at front desk tried to have my husband sign a waiver that says hotel is not responsible & tried to bribe him with cash? Disgusting would never go back & will be sure to tell everyone we know

Dance club shows are just outside room drinks running around yelling at 3 am! Wait staff very noisy in the halls all hours. Restaurants terrible food and people sat at tables for 3 hours making it un available for others. Hard to get transportation or impossible. Watered down drinks and the room smell like poop all the time. Some staff so friendly and others don’t want you there. Don’t go here if you want to sleep at all! So things work in the room and some don’t. Had to go to the front desk everyday for a new key, and my pockets were empty!!

8/10 Very good

Great experience. Entertainment was so-so. Food abundant and tasty. Plumbing needs improvement.

8/10 Very good

Hotel and staff was amazing. Everyone went above and beyond to meet our needs. The food unfortunately needs to improve but other than that I would definitely return!
