We stayed at RIU Palace in Baja for a week and, unfortunately, the food was the most disappointing part of the experience. The buffet lacked variety, with the same dishes being repeated daily, and many were bland or overcooked and you could taste the recycled oil in most of their dishes . The advertised ‘gourmet dining’ didn’t live up to expectations; the steak restaurant, for example, served steak and seafood that was under-seasoned and showered in oil and butter . But the worst was the Asian Sofia restaurant, you couldn’t taste anything but salt and oil . There were very few or none options for vegetarians, and what was available seemed like an afterthought. This was especially frustrating as food was one of the main reasons we chose an all-inclusive resort. On the bright side, the service was great, but the food definitely needs improvement to match the resort’s promises. Definitely they need to revised and work on the food

The servers were great! Very personable and helpful. As for the spa experience, I booked a couples massage on the beach for $311!!!! When it was time to pay the credit card machine was not working so I had to walk back to the spa are in the hotel instead of taking my card for me. Then I got double charged and had to go inquire about it and was told they would fix it and get back to me. Couple days later I did not hear anything and had to go back. What a waste of time and money. Ended up with better massages at the Sandbar for way less money. It was so good at the Sandbar that we went twice.

I would never choose the property again. Limited restaurants and the food is the worst I’ve ever had at an all inclusive hotel. They don’t place enough towels in the room. The room service has only cold cuts and maybe two other things. The alcohol is very low budget. I just don’t believe this is the best place to day when you have choices. Not returning to any RUI properties. The hotel looks like a 1985 Helton from the freeway. They need to upgrade the outside building. I didn’t like it.
