Thank you for your reviewing, hope you have a great day. Would you recommment the Palace costa mujeres, or Palace Peninsula for the price / quality / hotel ? Which one do you think look nicer ? Thanks again.
I noticed that on the beach there are no palapas or any covers other than the palm trees. Would you say the shade is sufficient? We are bringing our baby who can't be directly in sunlight so I'm wondering I need to bring him a tent or something. Thank you!
Yes, the shade on the beach is just from the trees. If you get out there early enough and get chairs, it won't be a problem. But just to be safe, I'd recommend you bring at least a small tent. Not worth the risk that the chairs under the trees will all be full.
Absolutely! They have the Krystal Fusion restaurant, a Japanese restaurant, a Steakhouse, an Italian restaurant, and a Mexican Restaurant. VERY good food!! This was just a pool and beach vid. Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video, I'm going next week. So if I want to stay on 4th floor but don't need ocean view, is there any extra charge? Because I don't like propel on top stomping. And also shows weather during your time there? Because weather network said will be mostly cloudy ... I do hope is sunny . Is steak house very good? And do they serve breakfast and lunch too?
Contact the resort at their email address about a 4th floor room. It might be difficult to change rooms after booking, depending on the capacity at the time of your stay. Regarding the weather, depending on the time of year, it’s cloudy most mornings in this part of Mexico. A passing shower is common, but it usually clears up and the rest of the day is sunny. The steakhouse? We loved it! I think they serve dinner only.
@@kk-yy8oi Dunamar is a complete resort unto it's own. Per their website, they have a buffet and 4 specialty restaurants: Kulinarium restaurant (à la carte) Asian restaurant (buffet) Steakhouse (à la carte) Italian restaurant (à la carte; buffet starters and dessert).
They are both amazing, but we preferred Riu Palace Riviera Maya. We liked the layout of the property much better, and it was a bit smaller which lent itself to more easily getting to know other guests and staff. If I chose again, though, I’d probably let price decide since they were both amazing. 👍🏼
January. Honestly, the pool water was FRIGID!!!! I was told the middle pool is heated. Not sure if the other two pools have that capability. Also, it rained the first evening we were there, and was a bit chilly through the entire next day. That had to have effected the pool water temp too.
I’d say it’s as big a party as you want it to be. If you want to go to bed at 9, you can. If you want to head to a nearby RIU for a party, you can do that too. Staying at a Palace gives you benefits to visit other RIU resorts nearby. There are no clubs on this property.
There are 3 pools-- the one closest to the other resort, where the water park is; the one in the middle where the food is; and the largest one closest to the theater.
Nice video, but I suggest you slow your panning and resist panning back and forth repeatedly … it makes it difficult to actually observe anything. Pan slowly once rather than quickly four times. Panning is the biggest weakness of amateur videographers.
@@AllThingsWagner Everyone makes the panning error 🙂We are shopping for a resort to visit and invite family. This will be our 18th trip to the Cancun area, and we generally never repeat resorts (Live Aqua being the only exception), and are considering this resort. We like that the barrier island located hotels are mosquito free compared to Riviera Maya, but that’s not our only consideration. Why do you prefer Riu Palace Riviera Maya over Costa Mujeres?
@@dilvishpa5776 1) Layout of resort-most every room has some sort of ocean view. 2) We also like it was a bit smaller. 3) Close to town, shopping, and site seeing venues.
I enjoyed this video. You really gave a good descriprion of the resort's layout. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! Glad we could help. 👍🏼
I’m going this week can’t wait thanks
You're welcome. Have a great and safe trip!!

Great vid, I may have missed this but do they have multiple restaurants and if so what type?

@@AllThingsWagner thank you so much
@@AllThingsWagner so are there any restaurant over at the dunamar or only those few ones at palace ?

Great video, curious but do you know what they charge for Covid PCR test?
I believe it's still complimentary in the Mexico resorts. Always best to call or email the resort or submit a question on the website to make sure.
@@AllThingsWagner thanks I ended up doing that. Antigen is free but PCR they charge.
@@ddizgun excellent! Thanks for the update!
What month did you go? In which there was no problem with sea weed
Mid January.
Great vid thanks 😊
Thanks for stopping by. Share it if you know some folks it could help!
How is the wildlife at the resort? we went to riviera maya and they had excellent wildlife
Not as abundant when we were there, but they do have the same critters here and there. 🦎😉
Hi, useful video thank you! Did you prefer this hotel or Rui palace? I watched your video on both 👍
They are both amazing, but we preferred Riu Palace Riviera Maya. We liked the layout of the property much better, and it was a bit smaller which lent itself to more easily getting to know other guests and staff.

If you want a party resort, this is it. (Anything Riu for that matter).
Majestic elegance costa mujeres is 10000x better
Great video!
Thanks so much! It was a good trip, and I hope the video helps others get excited or plan for their vacation.

Have you booked yet?!
Yes I am going in seven days
@@janettepopko2041 you will love it! Have a safe trip.
Thanks Janette

Thanks so much! I'm over a year now into my TH-cam journey, so hopefully I've gotten much better. ;-) You're correct on every count!
