I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews of the Riu Cancun before I booked. Following recommendations from other TripAdvisor members, I chose to stay at this hotel. I had a great time. As a solo mid-40s traveler, I had plenty of people to meet and hang out with. There were a lot of couples wanting... more

This place is alright. I'm sure there are better places in Cancun. I traveled with my fiance, and we wouldn't recommend it to another couple looking for a relaxing, private, quiet time. When we went in October 2008, and the place was pretty full. The all inclusive food is not great. With a cafeteria-like atmosphere, people are everywhere loading their... more

My husband and I just returned from celebrating our 8 year Wedding Anniversary (September 9-12,2009) at the RIU CANCUN. When we arrived - we were greeted with drinks and a very nice front desk staff. After receiving our room/towel keys- we checked into our room which was clean and nice and the air conditioner was working. THE KEY IS ~... more

3 lifts and 16 or so floors, had to wait 5-10 mins for a lift nearly everytime. Avoid spring break at all costs as the hotel is way to busy. 1500 people but only 500 deck chairs, so you need to get up at 5.30am to find one. The Brazilian restaraunt and a few others you have to book so... more

In Dec. of 2006, I stayed at the Riu Cancun, which is better late than never to write a review. On my recent trip in Sept. 2009, while staying at the Grand Oasis Caribbean Resort, we decided to resort crash. lol. This place is as fun as I remembered. The pool bar was packed with people conversing with each other... more

Me and my husband went to Cancun on the 15th Aug for 10 nights. Flight: We booked with Thomson. To my horror we got to Gatwick airport and we soon realised that it was a First Choice flight. The legroom was fantastic, very comfortable. However there are snags to go with it. You have to pay £5 pp to view... more
