The location was the best within waking distance of shopping and night clubs. The hotel was large and required a lot of walking. There should be more rest rooms by the pool and beach areas. In order to get to the sports bar you had to climb several stairs and down a long hall whats up with that- should be... More

I make sure to review every hotel/resort we stay at to be certain that it will meet or exceed my expectations, and this one exceeded them. To start, I cant find the reasons people complain about. Yeah maybe the hotel blocking the sun (in the winter months) is legitimate, but from some of the sunburns its probably a good thing... More

The room was nice, I didn't find any issues with the bed, cleanliness, etc.; the room was cleaned every day, fresh sheets and towels even if we didn't ask for them. The... More

We were three amigos, staying at the Riu from January 13-20th. Generally the weather in January is a little cool, but I wont allow that to reflect on this review. Pools - Poor... The pools themselves were great, with infinity pools, swim up bars, etc. The problem? They were freezing! In contract, the ocean was incredibly warm. Nobody was in... More

I just got back from my stay at the Riu Cancun yesterday and couldn't wait to post my positive review...then I saw other people's reviews and some do have good points (which I will cover), but few seem to be seasoned reviewers and I have to say that they seem to hold a high expectation. No disrespect to them though,... More
