After booking travel for our 10th Anniversary Getaway to the Riu Palace Las Americas, RPLA, I found this site in searching for reviews on what to do in Cancun. My husband and I visited in our 20's about 12 years ago. The Riu Palace was a beautiful hotel with dark wood trim, marble floors, and stained glass ceilings. Almost all... more

My husband and I stayed at the Palace las Americas for 3 nights over the July 4 weekend. The property was beautiful and our room was great as we got upgraded to a master suite instead of a junior suite. One complaint we had was that they did not allow us to make restaurant reservations before our arrival and when... more

European/Spanish corporation and efficiency is top notch. Clean, well kept rooms. We left little gifts for the maids each day including makeup kits, toys for children in addition to cash tip. That might have... more

ROOMS – the ocean views are absolutely gorgeous. We were in room 428 and had fantastic view of the water and the pool. Love that the soft drinks and purified water in the mini-bar are included in the all-inclusive and you can request as many as you want. They replenish the mini-frig every other day. They have a nice drying... more

June 2008 Jonesboro, GA This was our second visit to the Riu, having really enjoyed our first visit despite negative reviews (not all) viewed on Trip Advisor. We booked through Perx.com and on this visit decided to pay extra for an ocean view room. Our stay June 27-30. On check in, we had to stand at the front desk and... more

Oh my god, this hotel is amazing. We arrived and the weather wasn't great and the next morning it was raining so i pretty unhappy but by 11am it was gorgeous sunshine and it basically only really rained at night after that. There was a constant breeze so the heat was more bearable. The hotel is great and the entrance... more
