This is the third time our families have stayed at this hotel. The first two times were in 2021 and 2023. And I want to say it was amazing. Everything was great, food, staff, service!! This time when we arrived, we were refused check-in due to a mistake in the booking company. We were not allowed to enter the room (although we booked and paid for two rooms!) In addition, we were humiliated and given a pass to the restaurant instead of bracelets to eat ... again, I repeat, we had fully paid for two rooms. We had to sit in the lobby for 4 hours with four small children, including a baby, and with my parents who are in poor health. We had to pay almost $ 1500 extra on the spot at the hotel so that they would check us in. Besides that I want to say that the staff has changed and was not as friendly as last time, when I asked what happened, they said that the director had changed... The food was normal, but not as tasty and varied as last time. The room itself I would say is in a deplorable state..., definitely requiring repairs and major cleaning. The jacuzzi did not work, a lot was broken. The only thing I want to note is the work of the maids and waiters. They really work hard there and deserve respect!! And otherwise, disappointment. Next time we will not choose this hotel for a vacation.

Overall the stay was amazing. The two criticism would be 1) the humidity in the room wash horrible; the sheets on the bed felt wet all the time and our clothes felt wet all the time. 2) The food in the restaurants was just ok; the steakhouse never cooked our steaks properly, but the buffet was amazing for all breakfast, lunch and dinner. Good stuff: The care of the property is amazing, beach amazing, staff amazing, buffet amazing. The resort is very clean, restrooms very clean. Downtown playa del carmen is about a 20 minute walk away; easy access. Shopping very close to the resort. I would definitely come back but wished the room would be drier, so I don't feel wet all the time.

Had a great time at the resort with my 4 children. Clean, well maintained and well staffed resort with a lot of different things to do for all age groups. The beach was beautiful with plenty of chairs, no seaweed or rocks. Servers at the buffet were amazing, friendly, courteous and efficient. Big shoutout to Abraham, who was our server every day at lunch and was simply the best. Great resort, we will definitely be back

I really enjoyed this hotel. It is very beautiful and fun. I also love the beach there and you can see the ocean from the property. The location of the hotel is great. I will definitely will be coming back.

We recently stayed at Hotel Riu Palace Mexico and had a great experience overall. The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay. The food was above average, offering a good variety of options, though some dishes stood out more than others. The hotel property itself was clean, well-maintained, and generally quiet, making it a relaxing place to unwind. Evening entertainment was enjoyable most nights, providing a nice mix of performances. While the rooms were a bit dated, the hotel quickly addressed our concern about the original room's location by offering a complimentary upgrade, which was a nice touch. This level of service truly made a difference in our overall experience. One downside was the specialty restaurants, which didn’t seem to be the best compared to other Riu properties we’ve visited. They were generally empty, which made us question the overall dining experience in those venues. The biggest disappointment was the steak restaurant, where the crab cakes were chewy, the ribs were tough and oddly prepared, and unfortunately, no one in our group enjoyed their steaks. Overall, we would recommend Hotel Riu Palace Mexico for its excellent service, cleanliness, and relaxing atmosphere, but we were underwhelmed by the specialty dining, particularly the steakhouse.
