Very nice overview. We've been to this resort several times and are booked for another. Staff is amazing. Our favorite a la carte is Krystal. Tip: Instead of room service, bring extra quart zip lock bags to keep sandwiches from Cappuccino's, fruit, veg, and other buffet treats in your room fridge. Thank you for the content.

How is the transportation from airport to resort?

We booked at the same time we booked our resort through AmStar. You can do private (with your group only) or shared (with others traveling to the same resort). I can’t remember the exact cost but it wasn’t outrageous

@@Doctormycurls ok thank you. This is where I get nervous. Did you book the transportation through RIU’s website when you booked the hotel? And did you do it separately through Amstar…

@@keelanford we did it all at the same time the booking site we used called cheap carribea, they have a transfer add on option. I’ve booked at other resorts directly from the resort. They have AmStar representatives on site to transfer you to and from the hotel. Very safe! I’ve never had issues with them

Great Hotel - Stayed Last July/August, after a weekend in Las Vegas. Mini Bar in Room is well stocked and there is plenty to do in the Hotel. The Indian Restaurant food is not at all authentic, but it's still ok. Great video, captures the 'Spirit' of the Hotel very well......

Great video overview! Did you find it annoying or anything to walk to the other properties to try the other restaurants/pools/bars/parties? The view is the best at the Baja, and I'm wondering if it's worth booking there since more of the action seems next door, thanks!

Not at all. I like the idea of having access to both resorts (I have experienced this with other properties in the past). During my stay here the sister property was closed so I could not take advantage.

Just watched both of your reviews and I’m torn. Would you stay here or at the grand fiesta if you had a choice all over? Looking for chill few days with wife but also want to have fun/eat good. Riu’s food in Cancun was terrible.
@Doctormycurls

RIU palace was definitely more fun in my opinion bc the grand fiesta is so large depending on where your room is it can almost feel as if you’re not on the resort (you can’t see any of the action happening near the pool or beach and you have to walk a LONG way to get to the food - they have golf cart service it’s so large) whereas RIU is more of a traditional feel. The buffet at RIU had good food and a wide variety of options too!

Yes I went to Taboo restaurant beach club for dinner. The experience was ok (live saxophone player, fireworks) but the music wasn’t the most upbeat so we didn’t really enjoy it and the food is very expensive. We also went to the downtown area to a nightclub which was really fun!! I will have to get the name of it because I am blanking. They played a lot of American hip hop, R&B and Afrobeats. We also did the hip hop boat cruise to Los Arcos. The marina is maybe 15 min from the resort and the club area is about the same

Jorge was absolutely HORRIBLE!!! They Assigned us an ocean view suite which had absolutely no view we were staring at a cement wall so we complained obviously. Jorge however got so defensive, threatened us with the police, and refuse to put us in a better room which was entirely offputting. We felt so uncomfortable and unsafe I would never recommend this place to anybody ever!!!
