This is not 5 stars. The staff that were there were fantastic. The hotel seemed understaffed. The rooms are awful. The food was better than expected but every restaurant had a 20 to 40 minute wait with tons of open tables. The white party and Sil disco or a ton of fun.

Some of the specialty restaurants were a bummer but the main buffet restaurant Don Julian alone would bring me back. A plethora of options that were different every night we were there. Very friendly and helpful staff. The pools were a bit small but enough. Hetting drinks was very quick; did not have to wait more than 2 minutes any time.

The doorman Francisco was or favorite employee there however they were so many awesome employees!

Overall RIU staff provided excellent services. We stayed at the palace and felt that we should have the option of having dinner at other RIU locations, in the area. Additionally, natural cleaning product should be used in hotel lobby as there was a strong chemical smell.

This was our first stay at a Riu resort and first time we’ve vacationed in Playacar specifically. The location was great; the little village market, the small ruins that were in the area and the short walk to Playa del Carmen made it a fantastic location. It felt safe and was close to many amenities. The beach was beautiful and was walkable to Playa del Carmen as well. The resort did a great job of managing the beach and keeping on top of the sargassum, which was an ongoing effort. There was always plenty of seating on the beach. The food at the buffets was great in quality and variety. It was also a plus to be able to explore and have use of the many other Riu properties close-by. The service was really impressive too. The rooms were kept very clean and the waitstaff and lobby concierges were all extremely attentive, kind and helpful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. A couple of things we do think would make a future visit even better: the decor was a bit corporate/cold/dated. While they were well-appointed, the rooms felt a bit like they were out of the 1980’s with the purple colour palette and glass block and silver/black accents. It would be nice if the rooms took inspiration more from the traditional and natural textures/palette of the property to feel a bit more spa-like and reflective of the gorgeous landscape and rich history. The beds in our room were also extremely firm. Not a big complaint at all. Was a great trip overall and we are grateful for the memories.

Lovely property. Access to the other 6 Riu properties in Playacar made it easy to check out other properties and determine which you’d prefer. We preferred ours because the beach area is huge. No need to get up at 6am and snag a chair. Many available even after breakfast. We enjoyed the steakhouse (for the lobster) and the Italian (for the lamb chops and starter salad). Good entertainment and if you want more then go to other Riu property within walking distance. Staff were great. We tip EVERYTIME we get service (20 pesos) and 50 pesos for our housekeeper (per day). It’s not obligatory and we understand that many may not tip. We choose to do so. The only reason I didn’t give this 5 stars is because the non smoking policy is not enforced. We had people on either side of our room smoking day and night on the patio area. If we were outside I would ask them to stop smoking and they did. There are designated smoking area so please use them. Thanks much appreciated.

Property could have more beer options like Modelo or Pacifico. These beers are at almost every party in the USA so was odd they did not have. My husband was hoping to have more authentic Mexican options for breakfast. The staff was amazing and the property is always beautiful and nice. We will go back to this property it is very nice.

We just stayed 7 days at the Palace Mexico. About halfway through I started looking for things I would consider negative. I sincerely have nothing negative to say. The resort is clean, the staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The beach is perfect and the buffets are varied and tasty. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are a good size. We look forward to returning.

Our stay at Riu Palace Mexico was truly exceptional, and the biggest reason was the outstanding staff and customer service throughout the resort. From the moment we arrived, every team member was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. The front desk staff made check-in smooth and stress-free, always ready to help with a smile. Housekeeping was impeccable—our room was spotless every day, and small thoughtful touches made us feel truly cared for. The restaurant and bar staff deserve special recognition. They were professional, friendly, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and satisfied. Whether it was remembering our preferences, offering recommendations, or simply making us feel valued, their dedication truly stood out. What impressed us most was how authentic and personal the service felt. The staff didn’t just do their jobs—they made us feel like guests, not just tourists. That level of hospitality is rare and made our stay memorable. Riu Palace Mexico is a beautiful resort, but it’s the people who make it exceptional. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for excellent service and a genuinely welcoming experience.
