Judy and Maria's First Impression of the Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya

Our first impression of the Riu Palace Riviera Maya was that of an impeccably well-polished and shining new hotel.  The air-conditioned lobby was refreshing.  The crystal chandeliers, artwork, dark wood furniture, fresh floral arrangements, metal work and exquisite fabrics used in the draperies were all reassuring that this hotel would meet all of our expectations and anticipations.  We felt an air of enthusiasm as we began our tour of the Riu Palace Riviera Maya.

"One of the most important aspects of Judy & Maria’s is several times a year; these women visit oriu logo.jpgur, all-inclusive destinations to experience firsthand every new detail Riu has to offer. We appreciate their regular trips to our properties because we think they provide Judy & Maria’s with a deep understanding of the charm, amenities and unmatched level of service that make Riu Resorts truly special.

By knowing their product offering first hand, a recommendation by Judy and Maria goes beyond the simple “brochure sale”. Currently, Judy & Maria’s regularly send their clients to our Riu Resorts in Jamaica, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. As we prepare to open new properties in Puerto Vallarta, Montego Bay, Mazatlan and Costa Rica, we know they will be among the first to visit and promote these exciting new Hotels.

We look forward to a strong and continued partnership with Judy & Maria’s and hopes that they will remain one of our top Riu Partner Club members for many years to come."
