May 15, 2020The best hotel!
We stayed at the Riu Palace Peninsula back in February 2020 and had the most amazing time! Rooms were spotless, food was amazing and it had a perfect location. When we arrived we were upgraded which was a lovely surprise and greeted with a bottle of prosecco and chocolate strawberries. There was always entertainment/games to take part in and we absolutely loved the foam party which took place every week. The swimming pools/grounds were always kept immaculate and the inside of the hotel was beautiful. There’s a bus stop right outside the hotel which takes a 5 minute ride into the centre where the bars and clubs are so was perfect for us. There was so much choice for food at all the buffet stations and I can honestly say it all tasted amazing - there was literally something there for everyone. The thing that really made this hotel stand out to us was the staff. A special shoutout to Javier (Sous Chef), Adrian (waiter around the pool area), Concha (waitress at breakfast/lunch) and Freddy (bartender in the theatre at night). They went above and beyond and always made us feel so welcome. Their customer service was outstanding - from always greeting us with a smile, helping us get sun beds together, always remembering our drinks order (without even having to ask), and to letting us try different food, they really did make our stay that bit more special. We really hope to stay at this hotel again as we couldn’t fault it!

March 2019 - Last minute trip!
We have been to Cancun 4+ times in the last five years. We LOVED Riu Palace Peninsula! The views are great, food is superior, and the beach is fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel - and I even own a membership at The Grand at Moon Palace with Palace Resorts and would prefer Riu over them.

Clean, Fun & Great Food
I've been to RIU twice in Cancun and I have not had one bad experience. Great place. Staff is very friendly, rooms are clean and has gorgeous views. All Inclusive Hotel, different restaurants to choose from and a show almost every night.

Fantastic we loved our time here
This was the first time we visited Cancun and I would definitely return. Arrival: Very warm welcome - we lined up to check in and we were greeted with a nicely chilled glass of orange juice. Very Friendly and very quick check in. Hotel room: When arriving it was my birthday and wedding anniversary and there was a bottle of fizz and chocolate strawberries in the room, a very nice finishing touch. Huge room and very clean there are Optics with various sprits on the wall. Jacuzzis in the main room - its an open plan bathroom which is fine if you are with a loved one but maybe not with a friend. A nice view over the pool, bar and sea. The only point to mention be very careful as the floor is tiled and gets very slippery. Food and drink: The bars are amazing most of the drinks are branded and lots of choice. Restaurant there are a lot to choose from our favourite was the Mexican restaurant. Customer service is always amazing wherever you go. In the main restaurant Armando was star, every day when he saw us he would make sure all of our needs were full filled he even had coffee and water ready for us and would make the time to have a conversation with you.
