3rd time to the Riu Palace Cabo in 1.5 years. Few areas that need improvement. The shows have gone way downhill. My children can perform better than most performers there. Kid show every night at 8pm which is far too late. Most people want to enjoy a show after dinner and having to suffer through another kid show every single night at 8pm only to find out there’s no adult show was disappointing. Just because there’s a night party for 18 at the neighbouring resort shouldn’t mean there’s no show for people who spent more money to stay at the Palace. Not everyone wants to go to the pool party. Don’t get me wrong, the pool parties are so much fun but as parents of kids who cannot attend the pool parties, it made it very difficult to attend. Had to call to get our rooms made up a few times because by 3:30pm, no one had come. Some issues with ordering room service and it never arriving. Food is mid-at best. Krystal restaurant is by far the best. Don’t bother with the Japanese restaurant (poorer quality than grocery store sushi). Wait staff, bartenders etc were amazing. All staff were very friendly and seemed happy to work with one another. Resort was always very clean. This is not the place to go to when staying in the same room as your kids. We are parents of 10 and 12 year old. We’ve never shared a double bed in the last 15 years and doing so in vacation was a challenge. You arrive in the room to find two double beds pressed together. No one slept well.

„You‘re not our guest any more“ after checkout

Front desk provided us with contact of a driver for airport transfers and tours during our stay. This worked out well throughout. However, on check-out day, security did not let him onto the property any more to pick us up. It was all planned and we needed to catch a flight. I took the nearly 10 minute walk to the front gate where he was held. Security told me he cannot even enter with me in the car as I‘m „not our guest any more“. My wife was waiting with out little baby and all luggage in the lobby! Was told I shall carry all stuff and the baby in the straight sun down to the main gate, or book a taxi from the taxi guy staying in the lobby. No one cared it was the actual hotel front desk that provided us with a number!! Worst possible ending to a stay. Otherwise, dated but decent resort, amazing view, mediocre food, great service, yet extremely noisy rooms. Hard to judge anything but the disrespect at the end towards a family with a little baby, though.

The location is perfect for views of the arch. Staff was super helpful, friendly and accommodating. Only bad thing I can say is The food was not that great, except for the poolside taco bar.

Stayed at the Riu Palace with 25 guys for a stag from April 10th to 15th. It was fantastic with no issues. Check in and check out was a breeze. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The mini bar was stocked daily with large waters, sodas and beer etc. all the bars including the swim up bars were excellent with a variety of delicious drinks. All the staff was very friendly and work their bums off. The breakfast buffet was excellent with so many options. Highly recommended the Japanese ala carte, it was delicious. There were no issues with upset stomach etc. highly recommended the Riu Palace Cabo

The front desk staff did not honor my Expedia Gold status. Did not know or care when I brought it up to her. Her and her male coworker laughed when I mentioned it. The food was very poor and the location street leading to resort looks abandoned. The amenities are limited and there’s not enough activities for children. We essentially paid $800 per day and we didn’t come close to getting our moneys worth. We left the resort to dine offsite as well

Everything about this resort was excellent. The facility was clean, safe and well equipped. There was not a shortage of pool chairs as in other resorts and we never had to wait to be seated at the A la carte restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall the value vs cost for this resort is VERY good. I would definitely stay here again

We really enjoyed our stay. Our kids are older (16 & 18) so they were able to enjoy the resort on their own without us following them around. There was always something to do - beach volleyball, water aerobics, waterpolo, ping pong, corn hole etc. We also had access to The Santa Fe next door that had waterslides and parties at night. Not to mention all the different places to get a meal or snack. While at the pool, we loved Pepe’s Grill for tacos. I highly recommend the filet at the steakhouse for dinner. I wish we discovered that earlier. The lobster had an odd consistency to it. San Jose also had good food. As you might expect with an all inclusive resort, it’s hard for all the food to be top of the line. The pizza, Spanish tortilla, tacos, fried chicken, salads, fruit, and French toast were our go to foods. The drinks on the other hand were outstanding! They didn’t skimp on the pours! We worked our way around the drink menu - mostly drinking mojitos and the blended pina coladas or Miami Vice. Overall, it was a great trip. We were there for 5 days and that was perfect. The staff was outstanding- always had the answer to any question and extremely friendly. Also, the cleanliness was impressive. There was always someone sweeping, mopping, cleaning windows, etc. It is a very well run resort.
