    Many many thanks!!

    We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Riu Palace Baja California for their exceptional service and help during my husband’s hospital stay. We were to stay January 4-12 and ended up extending our stay another week because of medical emergency. We checked in on January 4th and he called a dr because he was having a problem with his leg and he never went back to the resort until January 14th. Josh, Fernanda, Carla and Arturo were absolutely phenomenal in helping me check my daughter in when my husband couldn’t be here. They worked the phones and allowed her to stay with me while we went back and forth to the hospital! The bell boys were so helpful in getting us our taxi every morning as well. We can’t thank you all enough for your care and concern! We will be back at the end of the year again to redo our elite stay!!!

    Amazing!

    Amazing resort! Everything you could ever need. You could relax during the day and then head next door to Riu Party if you wanted to at night. Perfect mix of celebration and relaxation.
