Pool at the Riu Palace

The pool at the Riu Palace is as elegant as the resort itself. Like the six-story hotel, the sprawling pool complex overlooks the Sea of Cortez and one of the prettiest white-sand beaches in all of Baja California. With lush tropical gardens, pools for adults and kids and plenty of amenities, the resort’s pool complex is a fantastic place to spend some time in the sun in Cabo San Lucas.

As one of the all-inclusive resorts, the Riu Palace offers a host of perks in its vacation packages, including full access to the pool complex. The Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas pool was specially designed to offer fun in the sun for both adults and kids: The youngsters will enjoy their very own pool and kids club games, which take place every day. For those whose school days are long behind them, they’ll still find plenty of things to do in and around the pool at the Riu Palace.

Just steps away from the Riu Palace rooms, the pool complex also includes two elegantly designed pools. There’s plenty of room to stretch out in and out of the water, whether you’re looking to swim, tread water or relax in one of the deck chairs. The swim-up pool bar is available for cocktails and snacks to provide fuel for your time lounging in the sun. If you really want to relax, we recommend spending some time in the whirlpool, where you can really soak away your cares.

The pool at the Riu Palace also is close to a fantastic white-sand beach. The waves are often too rough for swimming, but the beach is well-suited to adventure. The all-inclusive package includes a scuba diving class in the pool—after you’re more familiar with the sport, you can head to the beach to see the amazing creatures that live below the surface. The beach is also a popular place for sailing lessons, snorkeling, and other fun in the sun.
