Last verified July 2026. Beach is the weakest mark at 8.4. No resort can pay to change a score. See the full Palmprint file
Dining, pools and the beach
Dining & bars
A few venues take reservations, the rest are walk-in
Official site says eight restaurants and varied bars; RIU fact sheets and OTA evidence differ between six and eight restaurants, so restaurant count remains under review.
Pools & waterplay
RIU fact sheet, Expedia and Hotels.com support three outdoor pools; Elite Club pool is separately referenced in fact-sheet evidence.
The beach itself
Le Morne beachfront has swimmable/snorkeling areas, but wind exposure is a recurring guest consideration because the peninsula is known for wind and watersports.
- Moderate water, swimmable most days
- Caveat: Entry depth varies along the shore
Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.
Who fits where at Hotel Riu Palace Mauritius
All 5 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jr. Suite | Not published | 1 bedroom | Resort or garden |
| Jr. Suite with partial sea view | Not published | 1 bedroom | Partial sea view |
| Jr. Suite with sea view | Not published | 1 bedroom | Sea view |
| Jr. Suite - Elite Club | Not published | 1 bedroom | Not published |
| Suite Swim Up - Elite Club | Not published | 1 bedroom | Not publishedswim-out |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
Six things the research turned up about Hotel Riu Palace Mauritius that the brochure does not say.
Hotel Riu Palace Mauritius is a true 24-hour all-inclusive, adults-only beachfront resort in Le Morne.
Its biggest appeal is the combination of a newly rebuilt RIU Palace product, adults-only atmosphere, scenic beach, and straightforward all-inclusive value.
Hidden tips
Upgrade to Elite Club only if better views, upgraded minibar/liquor and dedicated spaces matter.
Pack for wind exposure if planning long beach days or water activity in Le Morne.
Things guests wish they had known
The current Riu Palace Mauritius is a new/rebuilt adults-only RIU Palace product opened in 2024, not the older pre-rebuild hotel experience.
Le Morne is scenic and excellent for watersports, but wind can be a real factor.
Most loved
4 themes- Adults-only 24-hour all-inclusive simplicity
- Modern rooms and strong cleanliness after 2024 rebuild
- Le Morne beachfront scenery and snorkeling
- Multiple pools, bars and Elite Club upgrade options
Most complained about
3 themes- Wind exposure at Le Morne can affect beach comfort
- Pool-bar or service speed can vary at busy times
- Restaurant-count and Elite Club benefits should be checked by rate type
Property-specific Reddit coverage is limited; broader Mauritius and RIU discussion supports the hotel’s adults-only, 24-hour all-inclusive positioning while guest-review platforms carry most of the consensus signal.
The rate, and where to check it
Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.
Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
