Sunwing is pleased to report that the Riu Palace Riviera Maya has re-opened its doors to reveal a sleek new modern style following a $40-million enhancement program.

Located on the sparkling shores of Riviera Maya and within easy reach of lively Playa del Carmen, the resort now features 460 fully-modernized guestrooms with tropical décor and blue ceramic tile accents, as well as convenient amenities including 24-hour room service.

The pool complex has been extended to include four sprawling pools (including a dedicated kids pool) and a swim-up bar where guests can enjoy poolside wait service, along with the RiuLand kids club that now offers water slides.

The hotel now also benefits from a new RIUFit area. In addition, guests can enjoy Stay at 1, Play at 5! exchange privileges with neighbouring RIU resorts, including access to the weekly themed parties at Riu Tequila.

Vacationers can now choose from a total of seven different dining options with unlimited reservation-free dining included in their stay, with the addition of new Italian restaurant Il Portico. All existing restaurants were also updated to offer a more modern style and refurbished facilities.

For a morning pick-me-up or an afternoon treat, vacationers can head to the newly-opened Capuchino café and ice cream parlour.
