omni or riu palace - need help quickly!!! |
|
we can't decide, what is the major difference in these two, location correct? but isn't the beach at the omni much better, no seaweed, waves for fun swimming and boogie boarding> we definitely want beach svc, i know the omni has it, but can't get a definite on this for the rui palace, anyone been to either of these recently?? Is the omni nice or old and average? |
|
courtbud, My wife and I were at the Riu Palace last May, and are going back this April. I've never been to the Omni, but the Riu was a great place to stay. The beach is very nice, and if you want some waves you can walk down about a hundred yards in fron't of the Riu Cancun and they are a lot better. Have fun where ever you stay. Rick | ||||||

I stayed at the Omni June 06 for five or so nights. Can't say anything negative at all. Very nice hotel. Very nice service, nice location.The beach was nice but.. a little rocky compared to the trip I took to the Aqua Grand Fiesta pre Wilma in July 05. But that is nature! Not really a big deal at all. I was originally booked to stay at the CM Marriott but it was not open yet. I was rebooked to the Omni . I was worried since it was not my choice but I was very pleasantly surprised by the OMNI. Loved the waves! Beaches can change though in days. soo.. have fun. I will when I go back next month this time to the Marriott CM.. you know points count :) I don't know anything about the Rui. sorry | ||||||

Courtbud, you've done so much research, you're probably an expert from reading all the posts. Please let us know where you went and how you liked it. I would go with the Omni because of the location. Just my opinion. I personally don't like the top of the seven. Too calm for me. Best of luck! | ||||||

Spent New Years at the Omni and loved it. Killer beach, balcony, view, service, pools, on the beach jacuzzi bar. Best part is it is not really a mega mega resort. Did 2 days AI and 2 day Euro plan. Stayed one night at the Rui in PV and would not return to this chain. It was mega mega and seemed like Disney to me. | ||||||
|
thanks for the info, what about the beach, i read a review from march 9, days ago, that the beach is gone??? do you know anything> | ||||||
|
All I know is over New Years it was fantastic. Large white sand area where the staff actually jogged to fill orders. | ||||||

dallas mart - is it full of families, i heard this is geared to families with tons of kids everywhere - we are 2 40yr olds looking for a fun place with best beach and pool and to go out at night? | ||||||

courtbud: I stayed at the RPLA last June. Although the RPLA is nice, they do not have beach service. The RPLA is nice but no waves. I rather be on the wave side as we sayed at the Melia 2 years ago and I loved the waves on the beach and beach service. I hope the beach comes back by April. | ||||||
|
40 something, yeah me too, still trying to find the perfect place, does the riu caribe have a nice beach, with some waves, and beach service"? | ||||||
