We visited this resort years ago when we stayed at the Riu Palace Peninsula and it hasn’t changed at all except for the beach. The beach looks beautiful now. The water was brown and nasty when we stayed in January about 6 years back. This is one of the few Riu properties that still has a pool with some personality. Most have gone to the boring rectangular shape.
@@WherewegoingNext It wasn’t even Sargassum seaweed when we went. There was actually plant life and seaweed growing up from the ocean floor. Attached to the bottom. Was horrible. Nobody was in the water. They had to have gone in and pulled all that stuff up and done some work to the beach ! The water in front of the Palace Peninsula didn’t have that problem the water was pristine there just a rocky shoreline. Enjoy your channel very much. Thank you !
Just subscribed to your channel. Will be watching your RIU videos. We never been to RIU. From what I’ve read this has been recently renovated which is good. As a couple who’s looking for a quiet relaxing atmosphere is this resort a party RIU or more laid back ?
This is more of a party resort. If you’re looking for a more quiet resort, we recommend the RIU Palace Riviera Maya. We have a video tour on our channel of this resort as well 👍🏻
Thank you been following your videos to get an idea since our group leaves in July. We are staying at the RIU Palace Peninsula and our group thanks you for your review of the resort. We understand that we will be able to also use the RIU Caribe siince we are registered at a RIU Palace. What is the biggest difference between the RIU Palace and RIU Caribe. Is the Palace more upscale, and larger in size than the RIU Caribe.
Yes, exactly. The resort is larger with more amenities and there is a larger selection of food at the buffet. You are welcome to visit RIU Caribe, Cancun and Las Americas as well which are a short drive down the Cancun strip👍🏻
Yes, they have several themed parties! We just filmed an updated hotel tour after the renovation of this resort - it will be up in the next month - and we show clips of the jungle party. It was amazing!!
Hello awesome video. My friends and I are planning on going to Cancun next April. I’ve watched pretty much all of your Cancun videos lol. In your opinion if you had to choose which resort would you say is better/ nicer overall between Riu Caribe and Riu Cancun?
It’s tough to say - the RIU Caribe has been recently renovated this year and will look new and beautiful, whereas RIU Cancun is more dated. The Caribe is also further from the downtown area and is more family oriented, whereas Cancun is a more party hotel and is right downtown close to shopping and nightlife. It’s depends what kind of vacation you’re looking for 🤷🏼♀️
@@WherewegoingNextThanks for responding your explanation helped a lot. The RIU Cancun sounds more like what we’re looking for. Definitely looking forward to my stay. Thanks again and you’ve gained a new subscriber.

The beach was fantastic when we were there. I know what you mean about the seaweed season though. It gets pretty gross.

Hey man! Awesome video! Just curious if there are neon parties or anything on saturdays? I heard there were! Thanks
Yes, they have several themed parties! We just filmed an updated hotel tour after the renovation of this resort - it will be up in the next month - and we show clips of the jungle party. It was amazing!!

What can you tell me about the alcohol quality of this hotel? is it similar to Riu Cancun?
Yes I would say the same 👍🏻
Wie weit ist es von Hotel bis Maja Pyramide?
The closest Mayan Pyramids/ruins are at Tulum (30 mins away) and Coba (1hr away)
@@WherewegoingNext Dankeschön 🫶👍
Did you happen to visit the Riu Dunamar? if so can you tag me in the video!
Sorry, we didn’t make it to that one!
