We stayed at the RPLA 5/4/08 thru 5/11. My husband and I went with his father, his sister and our best friend. We booked thru USA 3000/Apple Vacations. The only snag we hit upon arrival was that the Apple Reps did not have a "voucher" ready for us, couldn't find our names on their roster. They got that straightened out... more

A friend and I just returned from a week at the Riu Palace Las Americas in Cancun. We went to escape to the sun for a week without husbands or children. We absolutely loved it and if I ever go back to Cancun I would stay there. The only small problem I had was that the beds were hard....although for... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the RPLA from May 3-10th 2008. This hotel was the best EVER!!! Rooms: We had a oceanview junior suite (room 548) and it was great! Our room wasn't quite ready when we arrived because we had an early flight, but we were welcomed with a drink and helpful information. I had pre-reserved a spot... more

Bad Stuff: Food was good, in fact the Steak House and the Japanese restaurant were excellent. But, while we were eating at the Japanses restaurant, two members of our party had to leave the table, with... more

We just came back from a 6 day, 6 night vacation at the Riu Palace Las Americas (RPLA). It was our best family vacation so far. I traveled with my husband and 4.5 month old son. Location/Atmosphere: This is definetely the place to be for a relaxing vacation. It's not party central, but not boring either. The beach alone is... more

Just got back from a six day stay with my husband, 18 yr old daughter and her friend. This was my first time staying in Mexico so I really didn't know what to expect, but we absolutely loved it.
