Should You Upgrade? Is RIU ELITE CLUB Worth It? Find Out NOW! • March 2024
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator examines the new Elite Club room category at Riu Palace Resorts, noting how it has altered previous exchange privileges. Previously, guests at any Riu Palace property could access other same-level or lower-level resorts. However, the introduction of the Elite Club has created a new tier. Guests staying in Elite Club rooms at specific locations now have access to any other Riu resort in the area. The creator highlights several specific amenities included with this upgrade, such as premium room locations with ocean views, early check-in, and guaranteed late checkout until 1:00 p.m. Additional perks mentioned include a dedicated lounge with snacks, aromatherapy, a welcome gift, and an upgraded mini bar with higher quality alcohol. Dining experiences are also enhanced, featuring a separate breakfast room with an à la carte menu and a dedicated restaurant for dinner. The creator concludes that while the category offers many benefits like complimentary cabanas and upgraded room service, the primary appeal is the superior view provided by the room locations.
