I did the Riu Palace five times.I think their buffet is one of the best I ever had at an A/I.
I agree - and I've been all over the carib!
I find it so strange that some TA reviwers would say the food is "so-so" or terrible! I did a review on TA and basically said if you're having a bad time or don't like the food, its you - not the resort!
