RIU Palace Cabo San Lucas

Great · Jun 2026

This was our fourth time staying at this resort. We took our 8 year old grand daughter. The RIU child land is too young for her and all the fun things are for older. It would be nice to have something in between those ages. Pool parties for kids earlier. We had three nights of girlfriends and boyfriend or husband/wife…

Great as always

Exceptional · Jun 2026

Once again RIU has done a great job of providing a quality vacation. The room was excellent as always, we were upgraded to a corner room and the view was amazing. The food was great as always, the buffet has so many offerings that we rarely need to go anywhere else. The Steakhouse was good, the Italian restaurant was good.…

Hotel RIU Palce Cabo San Lucas

Exceptional · Jun 2026

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the resort. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. For the spirits in the room, we have preferred whiskey vs gin. All of the staff and service were friendly, talkative and accommodating. The La Ventana bar has the best views, however, wish there was some light music playing while chatting and meeting other patrons. We…

Nice Stay, Clean Resort, but needs improvement to be 5 stars

Great · Jun 2026

Pros: buffet, friendly staff, cold AC, spacious rooms, cold pools, super clean, easy airport transfer included, tacos near the pool Cons: steakhouse, alcoholic drinks (just ok), pools need renovation Just returned from a 5 night stay. The included airport transfer was easy (be sure to READ the email and follow the directions) both coming and going. Checking in was quick- we had two connecting rooms. We had to wait a bit for one room, but not too long. AC worked very well to keep the room nice and cold and housekeeping was excellent. The rooms are spacious and clean. Every single one of the staff members we had contact with were very kind. This resort is also very clean- even the common area bathrooms near the pools were spotless. We ate mostly at the buffet (we were off resort for two days). The buffet had great variety and my daughter loved being able to try all of the Mexican candy! The seafood on the buffet was very good, as was the tortilla soup on Mexican night. A light salad dressing option like a Vinegarette would be nice to have- all the dressings are creamy or high in oil content. The cappuccino cafe and lounge have quick things to grab if you are headed out for the day. We had pastries for breakfast before we headed out for fishing one day. The poolside food was good, especially the tacos. Alcoholic drinks were just ok. This is a Pepsi resort if that matters to you. I missed my Coke Zero. We were disappointed in the steakhouse. There is no bar, so the waiter will not bring you a drink except for wine. Three out of four steaks were overcooked and had very little flavor and the shrimp tasted and looked like it had been frozen and thawed more than once. It was a terrible texture and had zero seasoning or flavor. The only good thing were the potato wedges, which you can also get at the buffet. My salad was warm and the crab cakes were fake and inedible. The steakhouse is usually the shining star of these types of resorts, so we decided to just stick with the buffet for dinner after that experience. The layout of the resort is also such that people walking from one pool to the other side will often walk through either the buffet area or the steakhouse (which doubles as the buffet during some meals), which is very, very odd. Having people walk through in dripping wet swimsuits while eating a “nice” dinner is not ideal. The pools were nice and cool and drink service there was excellent. The pools are definitely showing their age with missing tiles, rust, stained bottom, etc. They definitely need a touch up or complete renovation.

Great Graduation trip!!

Had an amazing grad trip for my daughter and her best friend! Loved the pool bar and servers! Wish there was a sit down breakfast option instead of just the buffet, but overall would absolutely go back!

Great Honeymoon Experience

Exceptional · Jun 2026

Picked this place for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint! Endless food options, drinks are great, clean always. Only downside is we couldn’t order room service whenever we wanted, so was a little inconvenient when you wanted to ask for room service and the app said not available. Also wished the towel service for the pools, were available at…

Loved it - great for the whole family

Exceptional · Jun 2026

I traveled with my family (wife & young adult son) and found the Riu Palace to have everything we could want. Lots of pools that were not very busy (swim up bars were busier), plenty of activities that were appropriate for any age, nice grounds, restaurants that were convenient, open long hours, and filled with so many choices. There's no…

Family Birthday Trip

It was a big birthday (ending in 0) for me and also birthdays for my daughters fiancé and our grandson so we made it a family trip for 8. Everything was wonderful from check in to departure. The rooms were comfortable and we had fantastic sea views from the quieter North side. .All the staff were helpful and friendly no…

Family Vacation

Exceptional · Jun 2026

Everything from the moment we step foot on property was excellent. The only thing I wish was that there was a way to turn off the ceiling fan in the room.

Nice property, friendly staff, good food. Bathroom situation is strange.

Great · Jun 2026

We stayed here for a week, and generally felt that this stacked up well to other all-inclusives. The food was very good, just plan on arriving earlier than you want to eat to get a table (we had 9 people, and like to eat early, so we would be at the restaurant 10 minutes before the 6pm opening, and had…

Family Gathering

Great · Jun 2026

We had a very good experience with the quality of the room and restaurants. The service was impeccable. The only downside is having to travel from Cabo San Jose to your location. Also, elevator locations were not easily available.

Food could use some work, but over all good. This will be my 10th year going to this resort, it's my yearly stomping ground. I'll be back next year.
