Dec 02, 2024Beautiful Resort
We really enjoyed our stay at the Pacifico Palace. The hotel was recently renovated and very clean. Liked that it is only an adults only resort. Staff provided exceptional service. Booze was great! A couple of negative points. Food was not as good as other RIUs that I have stayed at. Buffet dinner themes seemed very repetitive during our week stay. ie; Latin, Mexican, Spanish, Cuban. No straws for the frozen cocktails. My wife would of preferred to have a straw to sip on their frozen cocktail.

Dec 02, 2024Family Vacation
The room was beautiful and everywhere in the hotel was very clean. The beach was soft sand, good to walk on and the ocean was clear, no seaweed. All the restaurants were very good and we especially enjoyed the Steakhouse. The breakfast and lunch buffets were full of a variety of choices and the staff were very friendly. We enjoyed participating in the dance and excercise classes with Yamile. We picked up the bags at the Towel counter to play cornhole on the beach and had fun. Unfortunately, the staff only turned up one day to organise. We were disappointed with the entertainment and the music for dancing to, did not start until around 10:30pm which was too late for us.

Fabulous Riu Palace
Overall very good. Food was good. Buffet a bit disappointing for dinner compared to other Riu Palace resorts. Mexican a la carte was least favourite. Loved the close proximity of everything. Go back to old fashioned way of Bingo!!
