Riu Palace Mexico set to reopen after 16m euro revamp
POSTED 29 Nov 2012 . BY Aoife Dowling

Riu Hotels and Resorts is set to reopen its Riu Palace Mexico hotel in December following a 16m euro (£13m, US$20.8m) revamp.

Located in Playa del Carmen, all of the hotel's 434 guestrooms have been upgraded.

The hotel has also introduced the Renova Spa featuring two single rooms and a multi-service room as well as a beauty salon. Adding to this the spa will house two outdoor pavilions situated on the beach.

Treatments on offer include hot stone massages, collagen facials and mango and passion fruit wraps. Spa facilities include two spa pools, a male and female sauna and a solarium terrace.

The spa's salon features seven beauty stations offering a range of treatments.

The garden and pool have also been redesigned. Pool improvements include four fresh water pools, one with a swim-up bar and a new children's pool.

The existing dining areas have also been renovated with the addition of the new Mexican La Bodega, the Italian La Dolce Vita and the Guacamole steak house. The hotel will house a 24-hour food outlet.

A new El Palmeral pool bar and café Capuchino will also launch at the hotel next month.
