Hotel Riu Palace Riviera Maya - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"My only two complains were testing of the fire alarm during early morning (5-6 am) and the VERY LOUD room A/C. It worked like a charm, but the loud thunder noice it emitted when it kicked on kept waking me up. I wish there was some kind of white noise to muffle it. "
