My wife and I have stayed at The RIU before, and decided to try the Riu Palace this time. purchased a suite with " ocean view" only to see it out of the corner.. on our balcony. Food was terrible...we were highly disappointed. So much so...we ate off the grounds a few times. That's sad.. especially when where you're staying..the food is free. This will be our last time on the property.
