Surprisingly good hotel considering it's size. On the plus side: Very good rooms, spacious, well equipped with modern bathrooms and chilling aircon, beautiful gardens around the pools, food that is far better than you might expect from a package deal, amazingly clean communal parts, an almost total lack of flying pests (although some mosquitoes), very good staff indeed, premium brand... more

Stayed at the riu cancun for 2 weeks in July 2009, and even if I tried I literally couldn't fault a single aspect of the hotel!!!!!! This hotel is well-deserving of a five-star rating (I'm not sure what the official rating is). We holidayed in Mexico the year before last (2007) at another Riu property in nearby Playacar, which we... more

I stayed at the RIU Cancun Aug 19-23 with 3 other girlfriends. Check was good. As soon as we arrived, someone took our bags. I had requested 2 adjacent rooms with double beds in both and we got that on the 13th floor facing the ocean. It was beautiful. No real complaints about the rooms. I was a little worried... more

This hotel makes for a wonderful get-a-way! The grounds are immaculately kept. We were surprised at just how clean everything was. The beach is large and many, many loungers available. Beautiful, soft sand. Incredible views of the ocean from every room. The beds are hard, but not horrible. Our air conditioner worked just fine. We were never hot in the... more

This was our second stay at this hotel and it was just as good as the first one in 2007. The place is kept absolutely spotless, with cleaners on the go from 7 in the morning until late into the night. The rooms are cleaned every day and the linen and towels are changed whether you like it or not!... more
