Hotel Riu Palace Peninsula

Following the renovation, the 618 rooms at the Riu Palace Peninsula feature an elegant and inviting design, defined by natural tones and warm woods. This aesthetic extends to the lobby and the restaurants, which are now more spacious and luminous, as showcased by the floor-to-ceiling windows of the District Bar, offering spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea.
