Playa Del Carmen - A dazzling resort of breathtaking originality! Riu Palace Mexico abounds with European flourishes, such as hand painted murals, floral ceilings rimmed in gold, and a tiny Spanish chapel. Splashing fountains, statues, gazebos and wrought iron benches rest in a romantic courtyard beneath the shade of towering palms, while sprays of bougainvillea adorn slanted sun-shelters by two magnificent pools.

La Bodega, Don Julian, El Patio and La Traviata restaurants offer specialty a la carte dishes and spectacular buffets. A lavish nightclub in whimsical design hosts nightly entertainment, and a pristine white beach along the mesmerizing turquoise sea promises to delight the senses and soothe the soul.

Deluxe and spacious guestrooms (mostly split-level) are beautifully decorated in rich wood and granite rose tile, each offering a sitting area with mini-fridge and bar. Ideal for couples and Honeymooners.
