Gorgeous resort, maintained spotlessly, an amazing beach and some of the best all inclusive food I’ve ever had. The water park next door was so fun for adults and kids alike. And the best are the people - incredibly friendly and always smiling. We loved our stay. Thank you to the amazing staff at the Riu Palace!
