You've got to check out the all-new RIU Palace Pacifica in Riviera Nayarit, one of Mexico's newest resorts.
The name of the place says it all - no expense has been spared to make it a fitting tribute to the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilizations of Mexico.
The palace, one of three RIU properties within close proximity along the palm-fringed beach, is pricey - about $1,500 per adult - but considering it's an all-inclusive, is not out of line.
The property features garden and ocean view suites as well as Jacuzzi and two-bedroom family suites.
RIU palace hotels are RIU's premium brand. They are the creme de la creme, fountains of well-being, relaxation and harmony where discerning guests spend their days in an atmosphere of unhurried splendour.
RIU palace hotels are shrines to value, delivering maximum all-inclusive pleasures. Among the benefits are lavishly-appointed a la carte gourmet and specialty restaurants, upscale accommodation, a solid variety of activities for all ages and the ultimate in deluxe pool areas.
There are currently RIU palace hotels in Aruba, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Jamaica.
Palace hotels offer 24-hour room service. WIFI Internet free of charge, champagne for breakfast, turndown service, maid service twice daily, a large variety of specialty restaurants, fitness centres and spas and exchange privileges with all other RIU resorts.
The Palace Pacifica features 445 junior and Jacuzzi suites.
Magnificent architecture and elegant furnishings combined with unparalleled service offer guests an all-inclusive haven of vacation indulgence.
It's an ideal place for vacationers seeking total relaxation and a good bit of pampering in the picturesque Riviera Nayarti area.
The hotel is located on Flamingo Beach, only a short distance from from sister hotels, RIU Vallarta and RIU Jalisco and less than 10 miles from downtown Puerto Vallarta and 20 minutes from the airport.
I would place the hotel at the top of the list of the dozens of properties visited over the years in the Caribbean, Mexico and Costa Rica.
Staff go the extra mile to make certain your every want and need is realized and always with a huge smile.
It marked my first visit to Mexico in more than 20 years but won't be my last. Unlike Florida, Cuba and D. R., you can usually count on great weather in Mexico.
It didn't rain once during our week-long stay and 30C days melted into cool, comfortable evenings.
Safety, despite all the headlines on television, was never an issue in Puerto Vallarta.
The city is a mecca for tourists from around the world who arrive daily by air, land and sea.
It's not uncommon to see three or more cruise ships in harbour and thousands of tourists on the streets checking out shops and restaurants.
The problem area in Mexico appears to be along the northern areas were drugs are being smuggled out of the country and cash and weapons are being smuggled in.
But, as in all tourist destinations, it's wise to never let your guard down and always travel in groups. |
