    Daughter has to sleep on the floor.

    The place, bar, and food are good, but not if you need more than one room for the family. Here now, I started the today’s trip with my double bedroom not being available. We reserved but not an option when we checkin, so I have to have my adult daughter sleep on the floor tonight. Check-in had no apologies and said they could sleep on the loveseat seat, which would work if my daughter was 4. Not 24. I hope the room change works tomorrow, but I'm unsure how this is acceptable without any apologies. Paying extra for elite provides a nice view but not if you do not have a bed. Getting dinner reservations is challenging because the app only allows booking per party in a room so to get my family of 5 a reservation, I have to login per room. Not all at once. It's a nice place if you are a couple but I can’t say I am impressed if you need more than one room for family. I rarely have bad reviews and again the place is nice but not having your reserved room when you are paying 10k for the weak is a little much for me to give a glowing review.

    Lloyd and Cheryls great stay at the Riu Palace Kukulkan

    Everything was awesome from the staff, the food, our room and pools. I would suggest to upgrade your room and activities to the Elite, makes a big difference from your dining experience, the upgraded alcohol and the rooms. We cannot wait for our next adventure with Riu!

    Mexican girl in Mexico

    I want to thank David, Erick, Ariel, Juan, Ramiro and Rodolfo and the guy that worked the bar on 12/11 by himself, didn’t get his name, and all the cleaning staff. Very hospitable and helpful. Sergio in the steak house is awesome. Only complaint is the music. Better music please!
