RIU Hotels & Resorts has re-opened the Riu Palace Peninsula following an ambitious and comprehensive renovation. This historic property, which has stood as an architectural icon in the Hotel Zone since 2012, returns to the market as a completely transformed product, meticulously designed to exceed the expectations of every traveler. Among its main new features, the introduction of the Elite Club service stands out, an exclusive offering that adds a restaurant, a bar, and a private-access pool for its members.
Following the renovation, the 618 rooms at the Riu Palace Peninsula feature an elegant and inviting design, defined by natural tones and warm woods. This aesthetic extends to the lobby and the restaurants, which are now more spacious and luminous, as showcased by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the District Bar, offering spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea.
Elite Club Advantages
Adult guests who book the Elite Club service will enjoy exclusive benefits, such as access to a private specialty restaurant, a dedicated pool with a swim-up bar, and a selection of premium beverages.
Furthermore, this service guarantees placement in one of the 100 best rooms in the villa area, including options with a private pool in the space previously reserved exclusively for adults.
New culinary offerings and entertainment areas
The hotel’s culinary offering features 9 restaurants and 7 bars, highlighted by the addition of the American Country themed restaurant within the 24-hour Sports Bar and the Candy ice cream parlor. These venues complement the main international buffet, the Italian Duomo, the Mexican Agave, the Asian Sakura, the Steakhouse, the fusion cuisine restaurant Krystal, and two options located in the pool area: Pepe’s Food and Tiki Tako.
In the outdoor areas, the resort features a total of six swimming pools tailored to diverse guest profiles, including three for general access, one exclusively for adults, one for Elite Club guests, and one for children. Adult guests enjoy direct access to the four weekly RIU Party events held at the adjacent Riu Caribe, while our family-oriented offerings include the newly renovated children’s club RIU Land.
