I had such a wonderful solo getaway at Riu Palace Las Americas. It’s such a fun place whether you want to chill by the pool or relax on the beach. The buffet was super tasty, and as a dairy-free pescatarian, I felt like I had plenty of options, which I really appreciated.
The staff was also incredibly kind. Since I was staying by myself, I felt very safe — the staff even called my room every night to make sure everything was okay. That meant a lot. It was truly the perfect low-budget getaway with a high relaxation payoff. I especially loved spending my days at the beach, and Isai provided the best service — he was running around in the heat and always there when I needed a piña colada!
The only thing I’ll mention is that guests wake up early to reserve beach chairs with towels. I was fine since I was by myself and got to the beach around 8 AM, but if you’re coming with others and want a prime beach spot, they can be harder to get. There were a few towel-reserved spots next to me where people didn’t show up until noon (and I was there at 7/8). I understand there’s not much the staff can do about that, but it was a little surprising to see.
Other than that, there were no hiccups at all — it was a great stay. Thank you to the Riu team for such a relaxing and enjoyable trip!
