Riu Palace Costa Mujeres Birthday
Just celebrated my 60th birthday with family at Riu Palace Costa Mujeres and had a great time, everyone really enjoyed themselves immensely.
The food was good, the beach was great, nice warm water, very little seaweed, lots of shade on the beach. The pools were great, the water was really warm, bar staff were excellent, remembered your drinks, made the drinks well. The resort was beautiful, layout was good, easy walk from our OceanView to the pools and beach, lobby was real nice, we really like the Square Bar, we just called it the Pink Bar as decor was in pink, wife really enjoyed the coffee bar on the opposite side of the bar. Note: the coffee bar has ice cream, great desserts, and they also make great milkshakes! All restaurants had good food, and service, the staff were great, I didn't like that we could not reserve a dinner time, it was first come first service, it was hard on us as we were a party of 8. I didn't like the Steak House, some food was good, but the restaurant was just outside the buffett at the back in the open deck, was were hot and humid, a Steak House is supposed to be more upscale and should be inside with A/C. The rooms were good, well laid out, nice deck, bed was comfortable, shower was good, was cleaned well and liked the morning clean then the turndown service. Resort was very relaxed if you wanted, the entertainment staff always had something happening in the pools or the beach, kept people involved. If you wanted more parties, I liked you could go over to the Riu Dunamar, short walk, and they also had free shuttles to Riu Caribe for some more parties. I highly recommend this hotel, one of the best I have been to.
