Looking for a dreamy romantic retreat? There’s a RIU resort for that. Looking for some quality family time where the only screen you can’t get enough of is SPF 50? There’s a RIU for that. Looking for one of the most memorable all-inclusive vacations you could imagine? There’s definitely a RIU for that. Check out just a few of the RIU Hotels & Resorts waiting for you throughout Mexico, the Caribbean and Central America.
Riu Palace Aruba – Oranjestad, Aruba
Ok, lovebirds. Located on the impressive Palm Beach, Hotel Riu Palace Aruba offers you the best facilities to enjoy an unforgettable break. Prepare for some world-class pampering at the spa, and get ready to spend most of your time in your bathing suit. Maybe the only thing as perfect as Aruba’s weather (82-degree year-round average!) are Aruba’s perfect beaches. This resort boasts a lavish spa, a fitness center, a sensational selection of restaurants and bars, and even a casino. But don’t worry. This resort is anything but a gamble.
Riu Negril – Negril, Jamaica
Let’s say you want to get away to Jamaica. Let’s also say you want to spend a hefty portion of your time doing absolutely nothing at all on one of Jamaica’s best beaches. Family-friendly Riu Negril just so happens to be situated on the longest, finest beach on the west coast of Jamaica. Which means seaside fun like scuba diving and windsurfing are par for the course. Bringing the little ones along? Don’t worry, they’ll have a blast cruising down the slides at RiuLand. And in case you have feel like shaking things up at the end of the day, the discotheque can’t wait to see your moves. Yes, the drinks are included.
Riu Palace Macao – Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
What’s the one thing you wish you could do in the middle of a crazy work week? Yep, we read your mind: Hit the pause button, lay on the beach all dang day, and let worry slide away. Cue Riu Palace Macao. Pause time and enjoy the authentic Caribbean atmosphere on one of the best beaches in the world. In case you do feel like checking out the view from somewhere besides your beach towel, the resort keeps things interesting with on-site windsurfing and sailing. Also included is free admission to Splash Water World, where you'll find water attractions, a snack bar with soft drinks, juices and water.
Riu Palace Paradise Island – Paradise Island, Bahamas
We haven’t looked up the precise origin of the word “paradise”, but we wouldn’t be surprised if it had something to do with Paradise Island. Riu Palace Paradise Island used to cater to families, but since its reopening from renovations in October of 2017, it's adults-only. They now offer two additional sparkling pools (one including a swim-up bar), an ice cream and pastry shop 'Capuchino', an Indian restaurant 'Chutney', a new gym, and walk-in showers. The original restaurants, 'Bahamas', 'Atlantic', 'Tengoku', and 'Krystal' also got refreshed and 'Calypso', a 24-hour bar, was added inside the nightclub. Why not a 24-hour nightclub? We'll never know. If you don’t want to leave your room for food, they have 24-hour room service.
