    The wonderful staff keeps us coming back

    We have probably stayed at this property more than ten times, and we have enjoyed all of them. We don't do any of the fancier restaurants; we love to be able to sample all of the interesting foods on the buffet, and the selection is very nice. But what really sets the Riu Palace Peninsula apart is the fantastic staff. From Alex who has greeted us at the door for many years, to Alicia at breakfast and lunch, to Elvis (and he will sing to you) at dinner, we always get a warm welcome. Our favorite is probably Diego at the lobby bar who is quick and efficient and has an amazing memory for faces and drinks. We talk about going other places and have occasionally tried other resorts but end up returning here because of these nice people!

    Great time!

    Traveled with a family of 6. We had a wonderful time. Employees were so welcoming and friendly. Rooms need a little updating but we didn’t spend much time in there anyway. Only negative was it took almost 3 days for them to remove some garbage we left outside the room.

    Staff is always phenomenal at this resort. We have been traveling for numerous years already. We go back every year for that particular reason. Everything the staff does for us exceeds the expectations! We love this resort and will continue to visit every year.
