Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas Reviews by Clients

From Dan & Franca F, Toms River NJ (traveled 2/19/10-2/26/10):
Hotel accomodations at Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas were great - they did try to put us in a garden view room, however, after showing them our confirmation letter from Berwick they honored it and moved us to Oceanview.
Food was very good, not excellent, and plenty of variety in food and drink. Service was excellent.
Area was outstanding and very safe! Tours are plentiful and of good value. Wish the RIU had shuttle Service to town - we would have gone in to explore more - taxi service is $12 each way - not bad. Bring American money - don't bother with pesos - bring singles and fives - hard to get change down there unless you are purchasing.
We almost got stranded at the airport due to snow coming back, but Tracy got on the phone and got us re-routed home through LAX. Thanks Tracy!! You saved the vacation - this could have turned it into a nightmare!... Will definitely be going back to CABO someday - if you liked the Mexican Riviera, then you will Love CABO!

We almost got stranded at the airport due to snow coming back, but Tracy got on the phone and got us re-routed home through LAX. Thanks Tracy!! You saved the vacation - this could have turned it into a nightmare!... Will definitely be going back to CABO someday - if you liked the Mexican Riviera, then you will Love CABO!
