"From start to finish this resort exceeded my expectations. The staff were friendly, the food was amazing, the beach was clean, and for every mistake or error that happened during the stay - they were quick to fix it and made sure the experience was even better. It's a great resort for families, couples and solo travellers. I highly recommend you give them a try."

"Beautiful experience for our first trip to Cancun! Zero complaints from my wife and I as we celebrated our honeymoon!"

"The only complaint was the upselling upon arrival at front desk. Everything else was phenomenal. "

"Friendly staff, always something to do and something going on, the restaurants were great. The buffet got a little repetitive after a few days, but that's typical with any buffet. The resort was very clean, you always saw someone cleaning something. Definitely would return!"

"Our first time in Riu Palace Peninsula and we had fun! The white party was awesome! Wished we could have stayed for the weekend for the pink and neon party! The hotel is very clean and smells lovely. Beautiful view from the room, beautiful white sand beach with clear warm water. There are always attendants to clean the floor and it’s sparkling clean. You will never see wet floors from guests who just came from the pool or the beach because they constantly clean the area and elevators. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. 7 restaurants to dine and food is ok, pastries need improvement but overall I will still give 5 stars. Thanks Riu for making our awesome and fun 5 day-getaway! "

"The entire staff at this property were extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Check-in process was a bit slow, but the staff was helpful throughout. The lobby bar seemed to be a bit understaffed for the amount of guests at the hotel, but no real qualms there since there are plenty of bars around the property. I wish they had bottled water in the rooms, but you can request them via room service. The food and drinks were great, but it could be tricky to get reservations, so book in advance! They had several pools, including one for the kiddos, with fun activities for people of all ages throughout the day and night. Overall great experience and would come back again with my family!"

"The best resort we’ve stayed at very family friendly will definitely be coming back "

"Great experience. This was our second time staying here. Amazing views of Medrano Beach and the Arch from the pool area. Several different dining options. Solid food, with the exception of the Asian restaurant which was almost inedible. Friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely stay here again"

"We love Occidental at Xcaret because we love seeing wildlife when we travel. We also love seeing ruins and learning about the early history. The resort is beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful and there are plenty of food choices. We are vegan, so enjoy the many vegetables, fruits, beans and grains available. We also loved snorkeling in the circular stone ocean inlet. So many fish, corals, anemones in a protected area."
