I stayed here for my honey moon in late Feb 2013 and enjoyed it very much! After reviewing many reviews i went with this option as the best deal for my money. I can't say enough about how great of a deal it was. You get what you pay for. Very clean rooms (Vegas style), clean pools, and great (premium)... More

Stayed at the Riu Cancun for a "girlfriend getaway" with 4 of my friends (aged between 35-44), from May 8-15, 2013. GREAT STAY!!! As always, I consider TripAdvisor to be a trusted source for info as I prep for a trip. This trip was no exception. I'm always amazed by the expanse of reviews, from "horrible" to "outstanding."

Riu Cancun has so many plus points but quite a few bad at the same time. Don't get me wrong the hotel is great but I would not return unless I knew certain things had changed. The Hotel building is magnificent and the location is fab but it is looking tired and quite shabby in places. Saying this though it... More
