2nd Time a charm

Just as good as the first time we visited. Staff is great tip a couple bucks and you will have drinks all day without asking, they will ask you. Food is something for everyone. Them resturants are great just need to reserve a spot, no problem. Entertainment staff is great, awesome pool games and music. Night resort hotel shows are fun and entertaining. Hotel is close to all clubs plus they reserve table at different night clubs every night with transportation from hotel. Inside bartenders are the bomb, Abundio is his name and he makes a mean chocolate martini. Like I say I know its all inclusive but tip a couple bucks and their your friend for life. Only thing with all the resorts you just have to be early with your towels on the chairs by the main pool but plenty of beach chairs and they have a nice beach area. I would go again.

Amazing vacation guaranteed

We have been to the Riu Palace twice and it is our favorite resort!! The hotel staff is incredible- every single staff member is extremely courteous, kind, and go above and beyond to make your vacation enjoyable. They truly enjoy serving you! The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. Food is fantastic. I especially recommend the Krystal french fusion restaurant- incredible! There is no need to leave the resort. It's near the airport, so you can get there quickly and maximize your time. Riu Palace in Cancun is just as fabulous of an experience as you'll get on a Caribbean island at a much lower price. Highly recommend- you will not be disappointed.

My family trip

the hotel was nice and people were very kind. we didn't have the best experience with the massage people. some guy walked around and sold us the massages, when we went inside to pay and do it, we were called liers and that nobody would have offered us that kind of a deal. Tomas was aweosome, that's true wow customer service. Alejandra or Alexandra from the entertainment team was great. she took my daughter and painted with her and kept her engaged on top of all of all the other stuff she was doing.

The Crown Jewel of Cancun Riu properties

This was my 4th stay at the Las Americus, last year it was the Peninsula, but I will continue to come back to this Grand Hotel, helpful staff, wonderful location, new friends to meet each day, I , and my partner, marvel at the number of weddings that take place there, but then, it's just so Grand! To get an idea of just what it takes to keep this "Queen" looking proper, show up in the lobby any morning about 7:15, it's amazing how the staff swarms over every detail of the lobby and the pool area, would make a Marine reminisce!

Great Vacation

My group of 8 spent March 30-April 6th at the RPLA. 6 adults, 2 kids(8-17). It is our 3rd visit to Cancun in the past 3 years and 4th total. Add in a few other visits to Mexico, PV and Mazatlan. We’ve been working our way down the 7 the past few years, this was our first time on the top. RESORT - The resort was immense, the biggest I have stayed in, in Mexico. As mentioned many times, the lobby is beautiful and we spent a fair share of time in the lobby bar having drinks before dinner, waiting for the entire party to arrive. The pools were beautiful and I enjoyed the fact that they were “cool” in temperature, as I find it refreshing to cool off when soaking in the sun during the day. The lower pool “party pool” was hopping with good music, crowd and the entertainment staff kept things hopping. It seems that almost everyone in the party noticed the lack of options of snacks at the pool. If you wanted something other than self-serve nachos, you needed to go inside. Beach is thin so to speak, but I never felt it was too small or we needed more space. Quick drink service at both the pool and beach. (side note, they could give the same size cups as the RIU Cancun gives [12oz] as opposed to the little cafeteria[8oz?] cups. Getting a “big boy” cup instead of 2 small cups seems reasonable) The area was beautiful and my 8 year old was able to swim in the ocean without me on her hip, due to the calmer waters on this side. She thought this was pretty neat. ROOMS - We were on the 3rd floor ocean side, think the room was 338? Third floor has the large column railings on the balcony, which make view of the ocean obstructed while seated. I didn’t find it a big deal, but something you may want to consider. I think only 2 floors have this set-up. It was on the shade side in the evening, which was great. The room was good sized and well laid out. I thought the shower was fairly small, but again, not a huge deal. Housekeeping was efficient, rooms were clean and adequate towels ect. Fridge was always stocked with waters, beers, soda ect. FOOD – Adequate, just what I have always expected at an all-inclusive. I will say that I was not impressed with the à la carte restaurants vs. the buffet. Which has not been the norm for me. I think this is 2 fold, as I think the buffet may have been better than I have experienced, but maybe the à la carte worse? We ate at them all but the Fusion(Krystal). That said, they were all fine. STAFF – The front desk, wait staff, servers, bartenders, bussers ect were great, to a person. They were always helpful and did their job with a smile. Wish I could remember the remarkable ones, as they really deserve the extra notice. The entertainment staff was excellent, always making sure everyone was involved, assuming they wanted to be. My daughter was a big beneficiary to this, taking full advantage of all their activities. It was an added bonus to be able to walk next door to the RIU Cancun and take advantage of that resort. We spent some time on that beach, as well as some time in their Sports Bar. All in all, we were happy with our stay and had a great time.

its a dream come true

in this hotel amenities are good, I just hope they included peanuts or chips & crackers on amenities, because not everybody drink alcohol, food are good like steak & lobsters, I just wish on steak & lobsters they include rib eye & lobsters together, & salad please give each guest, now the buffet was a lot of choices that's was good, Italian restaurant are ok except I got a hair on my food I told to the waiter he didn't even say sorry or nothing I was a little upset about that, other than that I don't have complain, bell man was so helpful also the concierge & front desk clerks, one more thing I just want to emphasize these, my boyfriend was very generous guy, he tip everybody, so at the steak restaurant he tip the waiter, he ask for us to have a rib eye & Lobsters, because its our last day of dinner but since he's the one who gave the tips he got only the rib eye & steak so I ask I want same too, they gave to me after 30mins, it was good though but am not hungry anymore because I loose my appetite after what happen, just because he's the one gave the tips you gave him good service!!! well to me its not fare right? just to let u know we share the money, so the tips he's giving them its include mine too. so be fare!!!....

This RIU Palace Las Americas is first class. The staff is friendly, the rooms are clean, the food is top notch (Japanese was our favorite), the grounds are well kept, and the location is one of the best in Cancun.
