Firstly this is the place to go in Cancun, location, size, food, service was fantastic. I've travelled a fair bit down south and I was very pleased with the overall experience. The hotel staff are very courteous, they always said hello when passing by. The bar staff never left you waiting long, the food staff was also very courteous and... more

My Girlfriend and I have just returned from a fortnight at the Riu Cancun, and we are absolutely gutted! The hotel is situated right on the caribbean coast in the middle of the hotel zone of Cancun which is basically 4 miles of 5 star hotels! Hotel - The hotel is amazing. Very modern looking and very well designed. With... more

We stayed at the Riu in July and lets face it we got a great deal. We had no plans on going to Cancun this year but the rates were unbelieveable. The hotel is old and you can tell the minute you walk in the door. You can see little things everywhere that needed attention, if their housekeeping was a... more

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
