    Riu Palance Baja California

    Great all inclusive vacation property. Very clean. Great selection of food on the buffet. All the restaurants were fast and good quality food. Lots of options for relaxing by the pools or taking different excursions from property. The staff was always cleaning and very personable and friendly. I would suggest bringing some sweater or warmer clothing for evening wear, it cools off quickly after sunset. (February/March) It was great temperature for swimming during the day.
