Jan 25, 2025Excellent Vacation
Very much enjoyed our stay at the RIU Palace Baja California. Service was excellent throughout the resort. Clean, and comfortable rooms. Safe and secure location. Only a $25 taxi ride to town for the six of us. The buffets were excellent. The only issue we had was when the specialty restaurants were busy, we did not know or understand that you had to put your name in early to get a decent time slot to eat dinner. Would definitely come back!

Terrific Resort.
This was our first time staying at the RIU Baja California and we really enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and very nice overall. We enjoyed the food & entertainment options. All of the staff were wonderful and the housekeeping was top notch. Pools were great although getting a lounge can be difficult as some special individuals like to put towels and clips on them for the whole day, yet they're barely ever seen using them? Anyway overall my wife and I had a great trip and are planning to make your resort a yearly (at minimum) destination plan. Cheers 🍻
