For me, going to an all-inclusive resort the food quality is extremely important. I've stayed at other Rui in the past and it has been a "hit or miss" experience. This Rui Palace Peninsula was a HIT! All the food was great, was very pleased with the food selections and quality. The coffee shop doesn't open until 10 am which a lot of people complained about. I think, coffee shops should be open 7am-noon, at least. Afternoon coffee is less important. Halfway through the trip, I heard through the grapevine the "Sports Bar" made coffee in the morning. They did make a fantastic iced coffee.
And my maid she was fantastic - I don't know her name and she didn't speak any English. The best maid ever!
