    Excellent vacation at Rui Palace Hotel!!

    This was my first time in Cabo and it certainly will not be my last! Loved the hotel, the pool and the restaurants!! For all inclusive, we thought the food was great!! And the bar pool was a blast!! Plus all the employees were super friendly! The entertainment the first night was really fun with Michael Jackson and musical chairs, after that it was just okay. The only down side to the hotel is that the pool closes too early (7pm) but the manager said they need 12 hours for the chemicals to work, and the fan stays on all night in the bathroom. I would prefer it only go on when you turn on the light. Other than that, our stay was perfect and I can't wait to go back!!

    Been to a few RIU’s all nice. Would come back here in a minute

    We were here for our anniversary. Clean room with a beautiful view. Food was good. We are early risers, usually first to dining in morning. The chefs would line up and greet us. Neat. Erma our favorite hostess would greet us with a smile. Beautiful views of Del Arch formation. Took sunset cruise, word can’t describe how beautiful

    Second times a charm

    We return to the Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas after our first visit a year ago. No regrets and we enjoyed it as much as we did the first time.

    Wonderful stay -but stolen money

    besides and employee stealing money from my kids wallet we had a wonderful time. The guest services up graded our room and provided my kids with many gifts as part of their apology- watch your money as staff cant be trusted

    Good resort but a bit tired

    Having stayed at many RIU properties, all was well with the exception of the pools. Pool water was very cold at the RIU Palace. Although they looked beautiful, very few guests actually used them.
