I just spent April 3-9 at Hotel Riu Palace with my 16 y.o. daughter. The hotel is on a beautiful beach, with wonderful sand. The staff did a great job of clearing seaweed. The staff was 90% welcoming, pleasant, and hard working. The room was dated but, totally fine. The mattresses are very firm, not comfortable for me so I requested a soft "topper" which was provided immediately.
Now for the HUGE NEGATIVE: for the last 1.5 days of our trip, we stayed in our room because I was sick with traveler diarrhea. It was (and is) horrible. I am a health care worker in the US so I was very comfortable ordering an antibiotic at a local pharmacy. But, $50 of medication and lost use of the resort is a set back when you only have 6 days. My symptoms started on the third day of our trip. We had ONLY eaten at the Riu Palace so I'm 100% comfortable in saying it was transferred via food I ate there. We did not eat at any of the restaurants, only the Buffet at breakfast and dinner, and the only lunch option which is Guacamole. This is our 10th time to a RIU resort, and I've never experienced this before so it was disappointing. I always eat A LOT of fresh fruit so this very well may have been the culprit. I also ate A LOT of the pico de gallo that was randomly put out in different spots during different meals for me to hunt down. I'm on day 2 of 3 of antibiotics and my symptoms are improving. It was so awful, I cannot say I would stay at a RIU again after this vacation havoc.
