    Best Hotel Riu Palace Costa Mujeres - Mexique for Great Vacation !!

    Riu Costa Mujeres—the place where I spent the best 10 days of vacation. Everything was perfect: the activities, the exceptional meals (both at the no-reservation buffet and the specialty restaurants), the magnificent beach, and the staff who were incredibly attentive to guests. The cleanliness—both in the hotel and the rooms—was truly outstanding (150% out of 100%). I recommend it to everyone for a wonderful vacation; it is a clean, safe place with great food. Bravo, Riu Palace!

    RIU Palaces never seem to disappoint

    Really nice hotel Arrival, as always with RIU flawless , key ready straight to our room , our cases turned up soon after. Room, standard RIU Palace room, if you've been in one they're all the same , thank god. Pools, standard sqaureish type pools that are only cold in the morning, no problem with beds , lots of shade , water park ok , adult only/bar pool looks like it could bleach your swimwear if you stay to long, which lots of adults do, but never a problem. Beach, very nice very shallow water , some seaweed, or whatever they call it, but never a problem, loads of beds some in shade of palm trees, sometimes. Food, buffet good, al a carte good, never had a problem with food at RIU hotels. Entertainment team, only bother you if you show interest, which is appreciated, evening entertainment is usually good, dont take it too seriously as its not Broadway or the West End but Mickey Jackson is worth seeing. White party is great but loud and sweaty, we lasted 20 minutes, but we tried. The complex is massive but it really is out of the way and nothing is close , not even a shop, but you have everything at your finger tips so no need to leave. Finally staff, never had a problem with any of the staff at any of the Rui's, even when my daughter was injured and taken to the hospital they were tripping over themselves to help.

    Terrible service

    Currently at the hotel and it’s nearly impossible to get drinks unless you are from Mexico or South American and speak Spanish. They completely ignore you and serve others ahead of you. Do not recommend coming here. I’ve been to Mexico many times, other areas of the Caribbean as well as other Riu’s. Never had this experience before.
