Riu palace helped create a memorable experience for this newlywed couple. We enjoyed everything, from our beautiful overwater room, to the food, to the amenities and excursions. The staff was very friendly and hard working. They took the time to memorize our names and our non alcoholic drink orders. This place stood out over many other places that I have had the pleasure of vacationing at.

I think the weakest point is the reception desk stuff. They give misleading information and constantly change it. And the second thing is the push for smoking, which has long been a thing of the past in civilized society and simply bothers others.

This will probably go down as the greatest vacation ever.. from the hospitality the minute you arrive, the beautiful views, the amazing food & even better drinks this was a 10/10 stay. One of the biggest surprises was how organized their airport transfer was.. it could be a bit nerve wracking going from a plane to a boat without your luggage but everything was well taken care of and planned to the brim. RIU also did an amazing job setting up my dream proposal for my now fiancée and I can’t thank them enough. Anu & Puja were great at the pool bar. The buffet staff was great as well. Everyone greets you good morning everywhere you go & you truly feel like you’re in paradise. Don’t think twice about staying here.. I will definitely be returning in the near future. Thank you RIU for always being amazing.

We enjoyed our stay at Riu Palace. It was a bit of a long journey to get to the island but staff helps you along the whole way. There was a bit difficult communication in our situation as our domestic flight was cancelled and we weren’t notified of this but eventually it was sorted. The vibe is very much charter holiday which wasn’t super appealing to us. But overall we had a nice stay and staff was friendly.
