Riu Hotels & Resorts has unveiled the extensive renovation of its Riu Palace Mexico, an adults-only property in Playa del Carmen, featuring a fresh design and the introduction of the Elite Club service. The revamped hotel, originally opened in 1999, now offers a sophisticated experience with new spaces, additional dining options, and enhanced guest services.
The Elite Club service includes 56 premium rooms, 30 of which boast private pools, alongside a new infinity pool, exclusive bar, and restaurant. Guests in this category enjoy benefits such as premium beverages, à la carte breakfasts, and a dedicated reception area for personalised check-ins.
The hotel, located in the exclusive Playacar area, now features 434 rooms with a design that emphasises comfort and relaxation. The interiors showcase soft tones, natural wood finishes, and warm lighting, creating an inviting atmosphere. Each room includes a functional living area with large windows opening onto private terraces or balconies.
Dining at the Riu Palace Mexico is an elaborate affair with nine restaurants offering diverse cuisines. Options range from the international buffet Don Julián to the Asian-inspired Miyagi and the Italian La Dolce Vita. The exclusive Elite Club restaurant and casual dining spots like Tiki Taco and Pepes Grill further enhance the culinary experience.
With this renovation, RIU reaffirms its commitment to Quintana Roo, where it operates 15 of its 23 Mexican hotels, generating nearly 8,000 jobs. The reopening follows the recent renovation of the Riu Palace Peninsula in Cancun and precedes the launch of a new property in Costa Mujeres.
