I loved my stay at the Riu Palace Peninsula, highlighted by excellent service and beautiful surroundings. The upgrade to the Villas was a great perk, though some rooms could use maintenance improvements. The dining experience was a mix; while I enjoyed the buffet, some a la carte restaurants weren't as impressive. Overall, I had a fantastic holiday and appreciated the sunny beach and warm pools.

My stay at Riu Palace Peninsula had its highs and lows. The beautiful beach and amazing location near the ocean were definite pluses, but I faced multiple issues with my room and service. It’s hard to overlook the roach problem and the lack of basic amenities like washcloths, which really put a damper on my experience.

I had a mixed experience at the Riu Palace Peninsula. The staff were attentive and helpful, and I enjoyed some meals, particularly at the buffet. However, the hotel felt a bit tired, and my initial room placement was disappointing. Overall, while there were enjoyable moments, the hotel didn't quite meet my expectations for a five-star experience.
