Book a hotel near Tianguis Market, Rincón de Guayabitos

"Title: Returned for Our Anniversary — Left Extremely Disappointed We stayed at Riu Palace Pacifico twice — first for my husband’s birthday in November, then again for our wedding anniversary after booking 6 months in advance. Both experiences were disappointing. For my husband’s birthday, despite informing the hotel ahead of time, we were given a room overlooking a construction site and the only “gesture” was a tiny slice of cake in the room. We decided to give the resort another chance because we liked the beach and pool. This time, I again noted that we were celebrating our anniversary and requested a higher-floor room. Instead, we were placed on the 4th floor facing inward toward the lobby with almost no WiFi signal in the room. We literally could not connect to the internet from our room, which is unacceptable in 2026. The service throughout the trip felt bare minimum at best. Multiple mornings at breakfast nobody even came to ask if we wanted coffee or tea. At lunch, I asked for a glass and was handed a paper cup. Poolside drink service was inconsistent, and most of the time we ended up getting drinks ourselves. What disappointed us most was the complete lack of acknowledgment for our anniversary — no note, no dessert, no gesture, absolutely nothing. Even at checkout nobody asked how our stay was. The beach is beautiful, but the service and hospitality were incredibly disappointing. After giving this resort a second chance, we will not be returning. "

"Very nice location, rooms very nice, staff extremely friendly. Not impressed with the steak house. There should be more pools and close the pools later than 7pm. "

"The resort was incredible! The staff was cleaning all of the time and were available for anything we needed 24/7. What really made our trip was the bartenders as they were so friendly and gave great suggestions for what to drink. We really appreciated having so many pools plus an amazing clean beach to choose from. We will for sure be back for another trip soon! The only negative we had was the streak-house was underwhelming, the food was not as good as the buffet food. The wait time was pretty long considering we were the first ones there. We ended up leaving mid meal due to the food not being prepared at all like we had asked. We got the wrong food and the waiter was no where to be seen as he was also serving many tables."

"This was a fantastic resort for a family! The pool was beautiful, the staff was very accommodating, and the restaurants were great. We booked an ocean view room, and it did not disappoint, we actually ran into some issues with our AC and the maintenance staff responded quickly and when it couldn't be fixed they gave us a new room with no hesitation. We celebrated Mother's Day and my husband's birthday, and the entire staff was welcoming and treated us well. If you're looking for a great beach side resort, I'd recommend!"

"Large deck and full kitchen."

"17 pools for kids and adults only. Incredible mattress! Staff super great! Susana in the beach club is the best! Super cool, super funny, with a great attitude and always smiling!"
