Absolutely loved our recent stay with Riu Palace Pacífico. The staff was amazing and had amazing attention to detail from check in to check out we were thoroughly impressed. The food was delicious and our favorite restaurant was Krsytal. Our room was very clean consistently kept and restocked our mini bar. Overall I highly recommend and will be retuning in the near future.
Great hotel, the staff were awesome, the rooms were nice and clean. A couple of the restaurants on site were meh but otherwise had a wonderful time. Would stay here again.
Celebrated my 28th birthday in Puerto Vallarta for the first time and my experience at The RIU was AMAZING! I did an extensive amount of research before booking, the all adults all inclusive is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY! I’m a foodie and omg the food was delicious, vibe of the hotel is great, Polo at the swim up bar WILL make your trip. My ONLY complaint was that there wasn’t any water in our room upon arrival and it took a couple of phone calls to get water delivered. Other than that please book this hotel and don’t forget to tip your bartenders.
