I had an awesome time at Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas! The views were stunning everywhere I turned, and my room was spacious and spotless. The food was a bit hit or miss, but I really loved the Steakhouse and Italian restaurants. However, I did find some aspects of accessibility lacking, which was disappointing. Overall, it was a laid-back vibe with plenty of fun activities, like the foam pool parties, which I highly recommend!

The staff were hardworking and the hotel was clean, but I was disappointed with the food quality at the specialty restaurants and the noise levels in our room.

My stay at Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas was fantastic! From the beautiful views and cleanliness of the resort to the amazing service I received, I felt well taken care of. The food at the buffet was surprisingly good, and while the a la carte options varied, I particularly enjoyed the steakhouse. However, I did wish there were hot tubs for those cooler evenings.
