"Reopened but not ready for guests."
Hotel just reopened, but rooms still under renovation. The smell is awful and plus very strong smell from treating cockroaches in every room. Dead cockroaches are everywhere. My husband has asthma which is worsening after this. Stuff didn’t have room without smell.
"RIU Palace Mexico nraly paradise on earth"
This was our second visit to the Riu Palace Mexico (RPM) we travelled with TUI from UK. The hotel has been updated and is now adults only the building the rooms and the public areas are really well maintained and of excellent quality. The buffet area has been changed and although the choice of food in the evening was goos it had lost a bit of the sparkle of the old serving area, very bland and corporate. Breakfast however was excellent and a good start to the day. The buffet lunch is at best ....dissappointing we went to the RIU Palace RM of the RIU Yucatan, the lunch there was much better. The staff were once again magic really hard working and the kept thye hotel clean and were always attenntive to our needs. We never had a problem in the pool area there are plenty of sun beds and the staff provide and excellent service for drinks. One thing that caused me to think, was the imposition of the "Elite Club" it seemed to me that those of us with the purple wrist band recieved an inferior service and choice of drinks. I fully understand charging more for certain rooms, but to add an excliuve resturant and 5 x more bottles of spirits to the "Elite Plan" seems a bit money grabbing to me. To me is should be the same service to all and if RIU need the money then charge everyone a little extra, no probs. As a Coeliac I recieved really good food choices, just ask. Our newly designed room as for two people yet there was only one suitcase stand. Anyway we had a really nice week on the RPM and we look forward to our next visit. Thank you staff and thank you RIU. I am not sure who to thanks for the really good thunderstorm but a good bolt of lightening really brightens up your gin and tonic. Thanks whoever. TopTip Eat lunch elsewhere, you have access to the RIU hotels around get off the sun bed and try them all.

Do guests have to pay extra for Wi-Fi at Hotel Riu Palace Mexico?

Not at all! We believe in a zero-hassle experience, so free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. Whether you want to post your vacation photos from the pool or just stay connected with home, you can do it without any extra charges.

Recharge at our Spa, stay active in the gym, or just enjoy the easy-going vibes. When the sun goes down, get ready for the legendary RIU Party and RIU Get Together Party—themed events that bring the best nightlife right to your doorstep.

Beyond our beachfront, you are perfectly positioned to explore the wonders of the Riviera Maya. You can visit nearby Mayan ruins, go snorkeling in crystal-clear cenotes, or enjoy the nightlife, dining, and shopping in the heart of Playa del Carmen, all of which are just a short drive or excursion away.

Our 5-star beachfront location in the exclusive Playacar residential area combined with our 24-hour All inclusive hotel service creates the perfect escape. Guests love the freedom of our 24-hour All inclusive hotel service, which offers unlimited dining at our themed restaurants and the convenience of 24-hour room service whenever those late-night cravings hit.

It is all about the 24-hour service philosophy. Our guests consistently praise our highly professional and friendly staff who go above and beyond. Whether you want a midnight snack, a refreshing drink while lounging, or assistance with local recommendations, our team provides personalized attention that makes you feel like you are in paradise.

We are located in the exclusive, gated Playacar residential area, situated directly on a 15 km stretch of white-sandy beach. You are only 2 km from the famous Fifth Avenue in Playa del Carmen, meaning you get a peaceful beachfront retreat with quick access to local shopping, banks, and pharmacies within 400m.

While the Riviera Maya is beautiful year-round, many guests prefer the period between late autumn and spring when the weather is consistently sunny and perfect for outdoor activities. However, no matter when you visit, our pools and entertainment will make your stay unforgettable.
