    Great hotel & beautiful views

    It was a great hotel with beautiful views. The room was OK with the furniture being a little wobbly and one of the charging outlets not working. The buffet breakfast was the best. Overall, the food options were pretty good. It’s a good value for your money

    A beautiful, huge, clean resort suitable for families, couples or solo travelers with gorgeous views and amazing staff!

    This huge, sprawling resort is the perfect place for couples, families or solo travelers. There are a lot of stairs which could be an issue for some, however, there are ramps and elevators as well. The resort and its rooms are clean, nicely decorated and bright. The staff are super friendly and helpful, and you will see them working hard every day throughout your holiday. The food is absolutely fantastic with many, many options and always fresh! The beach is kept immaculately clean and groomed. The pools are huge, although the two large pools are very cold. The smaller bar pools are warmer. The weather for our entire week was absolutely perfect with barely a cloud in the sky and very hot temps! We highly recommend this resort and will be returning in January, 2025 because we loved it so much! We have not one complaint. An absolutely perfect vacation!

    Alfredo white gloves

    Alfredo White gloves is the man with the plan, he take care of you, prices, not too high quality really really good, and overall a good guy. Come to the Rio Palace, not the Real Santa Fe, not de California. Come to Rio Palace on the beach at the front at the stairs. Him and his guys will take great care of you.

    Thanksgiving get away!

    The very first day that we arrived, we check in and we were told that we weren’t able to get ocean view! Then she tells us we’re not able to have a king size bed! I had put in a request for ocean view, so I get a back alley view if the dessert sand and partial ocean! The beds were two full size beds just pushed together! I had also requested to be closer to my daughter & the grandchildren! We’re we’re 9 rooms away! My experience checking in wasn’t very good. I have always stayed a RIvU’s but I’m definitely going to be looking into others resorts first my next trip!!! I wasn’t at all impressed
