You have access to all the other rius, food was great and rooms were constantly kept clean. You have to take the shuttle for the beach and that can be bothersome for those who care Overall a wonderful experience for someone who just wants to enjoy themselves. more

We stayed at the Lupita for two weeks, driving up from Belize and meeting my parents who flew in from the UK. We don't usually choose large all-inclusive hotels, but this really didn't feel like a 300 room hotel. The rooms are in several small buildings and set in lush gardens, along with a main pool and entertainment (not our... more

The room was ok. The drinks were watered down. food was lousy, except breakfast. The housekeeping staff was very nice. The front desk staff was totally unhelpful. The lobby was so hot, you could fry. No internet in the rooms. The TV kept flickering in and out. The pool was hot. The shows were no existance and crap. We left... more

I stayed here for 2 weeks with my boyfriend and it has been the best holiday I've been on. The hotel is small so if you want lots of action then you're better off staying at the larger Riu's, you can use the Riu Tequila, Yucatan and Playacar however you have to eat dinner in your own hotel. We visited... more

We just spent 2 glorious weeks at the Riu Lupita!! Our second anniversary fell during this trip, and the restaurant staff brought us out a cake and sang a Mexican good wishes song for us. The devils even put in a trick candle that wouldn't blow out!! In general, we enjoyed ourselves very much. The room we had was clean... more

But what really put us off , was there were cockroaches ( big ones) crawling around in the room and bathrooms..which... more

I went with my 2 sisters for a vacation here. The hotel was a great size for us and the buffet had lots of selection. However, the first night we found a pair of women's underwear (none of ours) between the comforter and sheet - gross but not dire. The distance to the beach wasn't bad - we even walked... more

My husband and I were visiting the Mayan Riviera for the first and wanted a hotel which was not isolated and would give us access to the town of Playa del Carmen. We wanted to stay in a smaller, quieter environment. We read reviews from other travellers and decided Riu Lupita looked good for our needs. Our room was clean... more

We booked a last minute trip for 5 nights here at a super cheap price of $720 per person, a little over $1500 a couple with all taxes and fees. The resort is small with 2 pools, the one main pool with entertainment,bar and food nearby and the quiet pool that doesnt offer much. If u plan to layout poolside... more
