We just returned from Riu Cancun. We were only able to stay 3 nights due to time restrictions, however, the weather was great and the water was very very nice. I always study these Trip Advisor review and check the forum comments for the resort and area where we are planning to stay. This was our first stay at the... more

We would definitely return to the hotel. We had a Jr. Suite which was fabulous. Beautiful view of pool area and beach. Food at the buffet was good for breakfast and lunch. The dinner fare was ok most nights, but there were two nights that were real good. We tried the steak restaurant(excellent, with outdoor seating), the Chinese restaurant (not... more

Hotel was the same this year as last 2 years we visited. My previous review a few years ago still applies. This year was different in that we stayed in the "Suites" which are really not in any better location, but are just larger by about 40% when compared to the regular rooms. If we go back next year, we're... more

My Husband and I and another couple all in our late twenties stayed at the Riu Cancun from August 27 - September 1. We got a great deal on our trip and had a great time. The Riu Cancun is not a 5 star hotel but was worth what we paid. It was in a great location and had a... more

My wife and I stayed there with another couple (all in late 20s to early 30s) between Sep 24 and Sep 28. We booked thru the RIU web site and paid apprx $700/ person including airfare from JFK and transfers from/to the airport. The hotel is very beautiful with a great location and awesome staff. We were a little hesitant... more

I stayed at the Riu Cancun for 2 weeks from the 24th September 2008. I travelled with my husband and our best friends. The holiday was to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary and we wanted to stay somewhere a bit more special. On arrival we were taken with other guests to a conference room and were greeted with big smiles... more

We arrived late Saturday at 6pm and I had got my own transportation from the airport to the hotel and that went smoothly. We arrived and were in our room in 30 minutes. We got a Junior Suite and it was great! We headed off to the buffet and ate so much food and it was all good, too! We... more

Riu was in a great location but the rooms were dark and old. Also, food was great but if you're looking to stock upon alcohol they give you the cheapest ones. Not good. Brands I've never heard of more

There's not much more that I can say than the rest of the reviews on here. We spent a week in September and had a fantastic time. The food was good (not amazing - but we weren't expecting amazing), the rooms were large, and the location was fantastic. Oh, and the beach was absolutely beautiful. Our only complaints: 1) The... more
