    Great November stay. Make sure to stop and see Alfredo white gloves on the beach

    Food was great staff was great really enjoyed our stay. Alfredo "white gloves" sells jewelry on the beach and he is awesome. Spent a couple mornings talking to him with no pressure on buying anything. Resort seems to be very clean and accommodating to whatever we needed.

    BEAUTIFUL LAVISH CLEAN HOTEL

    RIu Palace all-inclusive is a great place to stay! Beautiful rich atmosphere, great assortment of food in the buffet. Delicious fancy alcohol drinks, cappuccino. 24 hour food and drink room. Excellent parties (white party) at Santa Fae, awesome Michael Jackson presentation at Riu. Nice pools. Million dollar views from many balconies of the Sea of Cortez and Marina Bay and Arches. You can observe the 2 cruise ships arriving every day to the marina. Play on the sea shore. Beautiful hot tropical weather daily...

    wonderful

    Riu Palaxce Cabo San Lucas is beginning to show its age. The pools need re tiling and some of the woodworki and flooring in bad shape. However, the personnel make this place such a delight.. They more than make up for the building's failings.

    Cabo Riu Palace

    Beautiful resort, perfect location close to town and the Arch and Pelican rock. Great amenities. The food in the A la Carte restaurants was disappointing. We tried all of them. The steak house was the most disappointing. The buffet was great. Staff is amazing. Pools are fantastic. Love that we can go into the other Riu properties. One night we watched baby turtles hatch out of the sand right in front of our resort! It was so amazing
