    Great Resort with Great Staff

    We had an excellent experience at RIU Palace Costa Mujeres during our 14 night stay in November 2024. The resort, food, room, and service was outstanding. We also can't say enough good things about the PR Manager, Ms. Luna, who was exceptional!

    Ok overall

    The RIU Costa Mujeres is generally good overall if you’re looking for a reasonably priced family getaway in a quiet part of the Cancún area. The staff were very warm and welcoming and deserve a lot of credit. The grounds were very clean and well kept and the rooms were a pleasant surprise. Only knocks would be the overall quality of food and drinks were just ok - mass produced for quick service and large crowds. You won’t go hungry here but you won’t be blown away either. And hotel location is quiet and away from the hustle of Cancun but you feel a bit stuck if you want to go out and explore one day. Forced to grab an expensive cab or rent a car. Again overall wonderful kind staff and lovely property, but food and drinks just ok and good for families for a reasonably priced getaway. If you’re looking for a higher end experience maybe check out adult only resorts nearby.

    Must go back!!

    Magnificent resort. Beautiful decorated and designed resort, especially the martini bar. Great restaurants, excellent food and great service. Friendly staff. Clean. Gorgeous beach with plenty of lounge chairs to choose from without needing to reserve ahead of time. I don’t usually go back to the same resort but Riu Palace is a must!!!
