    Wow! Just wow! Hotel Riu Palace Mexico is one of the chpeast all inclusive resorts and I can't believe how unbelievably gorgeous it is! Hotel Riu Palace Mexico is so incredible that it received the AAA FOUR DIAMOND award for its luxury, quality, service, and beauty. RIU Palace Mexico is one of the very best hotels in Playa Del Carmen, making it the no. 1 hotel choice for people visiting the Playa Del Carmen, Riviera Maya, Cancun, and Quintano Roo areas. This is one of the very best hotels in Playa Del Carmen and the one to choose if you want a cheap all-inclusive Mexico hotel that still has upscale luxury, a marvelous beach, 24-hour room service, excellent service, and a wonderful location. Watch this video and see why it is so popular and why so many people choose to stay here.
    I just stayed at Riu Palace Mexico for four nights and did everything! I visited all the pools and restaurants, as well as the beaches and bars. In this video I also give a full tour of the room and take you everywhere inside and outside the property so you can see what is great and what can be improved/avoided. This is guaranteed to be the most complete, informative, and fun Riu Palace Mexico video. If you are traveling to Playa Del Carmen or Cancun and searching for a cheaper hotel that is still really luxurious with lots of amenities, then watch this video!
    Also, when you stay at RIU Palace Mexico, you are granted access to all of the RIU Playa Del Carmen resorts, convenienly located on the same property and easy to walk from one to another.

    The video editing is heating 🔥 up. My experience at Riu’s is the party crowd heats up at the lower end of the price point and not at the Palace properties. There is also a lot of excursions that pull people away from the resorts in Playa / Riviera Maya during the day and insert them back in the evenings, tired and bed ridden. Not sure I love the purple aesthetic, it gives me Vegas/Miami vibes and definitely feels opposite of authentic Mexico. Keep up the work! Sending positive vibes on your upcoming trips!

    I stayed at the Yucatan when I went, and I really liked it. I like staying at the cheaper, regular Riu properties. They're loud, full of life and younger people. I've never had an issue with nightlife at the cheaper Riu properties. Yes, you have to lower your expectations with Riu, but they're such a great deal and Playa Del Carmen is only a $6 cab ride away. Plenty of good restaurants and bars in PDC too! I like it better than Cancun.

    James I think you would love the Atelier Playa Mujeres. It’s new and classy with a great bar called Bar de la Calle that is a mixology bar. I’m from NYC and I don’t say this lightly, but some of the best drinks I had were made there. There’s no menu, they make bespoke drinks based on your preferences. There was all sorts of tinctures and they made these really complicated delicious drinks - I get so tired of the repetitive single alcohol cocktails that most all inclusive serves.

    We looked into this one and Riviera Maya Palace and ultimately choose to book elsewhere. After watching other vlogs from Heather styles in particular we decided to not book at Riviera Maya one. We loved Riu we did our first one in Punta Cana in 2018. But the ones in Mexico just don’t seem to be as nice the pools are small etc. Also heather was saying they had issues with their AC in the room and few things. We ended up choosing Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal for our next trip in July. We did Barcelo Palace last summer our first time in Mexico. We really wanted Iberostar Lindo but too pricey we need to book earlier. Thanks for the review James. Will consider maybe staying at one of the Palace Riu’s in the future. We wanted something different ultimately since we did on not that long ago.

    Hey James, I just came from Riu Palace Baja California and this hotel isn't even in the hemisphere of that one! Like you said, no real vibe and the rooms aren't as modern as the Baja California! And the food at the buffet was EXCELLENT at BC, I doubt the Krystal restaurant here can even touch that, so I'll stick with the former. Maybe I'm spoiled like you James, I can't take 2 steps back after the amazing vacay in Cabo!

    "Lower your standards for food when staying at a RIU hotel?" What the heck are you talking about? I've stayed at the RIU Palace Mexico in Playa Del Carmen, as well as the RIU Palace Las Americas in Cancún, RIU in Cabo San Lucas, and the palace in Puerto Vallarta. The food in all has been exceptional and first-rate. I live in Mexico and even many locals tell me that RIU has the best food all all the hotels. You're either extremely fussy or you had one bad experience, but to make such an assertion is simply ridiculous. Oh, and one more thing. When I stayed at the RIU Mexico several years ago they had lobster night. That's right, full lobsters which the guests were raving about.

    We were across the street at Riu Tequila back in 2003 for our Honeymoon. It has obviously been renovated since then but it was a pretty small and affordable resort. We had access to the pools and beach at either the Palace or the Yucatan but the walk to the beach was pretty long.
