The RIUPa lace is a beautiful, all inclusive resort.  The location was perfect for us as it was outside of town, but it only took minutes by cab or water taxi to get in to town and activities.  The beach is well kept, and although it is not considered swimmable, a swimming beach is a short 5 minute walk.  The resort had great food and a wide variety.  I am a vegetarian and my husband likes his steak.  Both of us were satisfied at every meal regardless of whether it was at the buffet or one of the four restaurants.  We had a king room that was located just off of the lobby, but still private.  The location was great for us as we were close to everything.  The resort is very large so if our room had been in one of the wings, we could have had a small hike to get to certain things.  The room was nice and spacious.  Our only comment on it was that our king sized bed was actually two full mattresses pushed together with just a thin mattress pad/sheet covering the very noticeable crack. (A real king sized bed or queen bed would have been preferred.)  There are two large pools and two small pool bars available and numerous lounge chairs.  We never had an issue getting a sunny spot near a pool regardless of the time of day we decided to lay out.  The pool-side service (along with all of the other service at the resort) was excellent and made for a relaxing trip.  Our only complaints here were that there were no pool-side bathrooms. The closest restrooms were in the nearby lunch buffet area. Also, the pools were kept slightly too cool.  Overall, our experience at the RIU Palace was the perfect honeymoon destination for us and we can not wait to go back!
