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

A friend and I stayed at this hotel in August 2009. When we first arrived, we were very pleased at the location (walking distance to shops, bars, etc) The lobby was beautiful, very clean and check-in was organized. The rooms were very basic but like most people say, we didnt spend too much time in the room. There are several... more

Traveled to Cancun for a girl's getaway with some of my friends. We chose this resort due to location and cost. Our rooms were spacious and clean. The buffet & restaurants were fine, though the quality of the alcohol/wine/beer was a bit disppointing. The pools were clean and lovely. We were happy with our overall experience. more

After 8 days at the Riu Cancun, I would recommend it only under a few caveats listed below. If you want something that is a tad bit more luxurious, then the Riu Palace next door will do but for a couple of hundreds more per person. If you want more pampering, then pay a few hundreds more for the Royal... more
