Riu was an all-around solid choice for a Cancun all-inclusive. Our room on the top floor had a great view - everything there is apparently ocean-view, but it was nice to be above any noise that might float up from the main pool and dining areas during the day. Each room has a patio with a couple chairs, and you... more

I organized a family reunion for my parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary. A friend recommended this all inclusive resort and as it would be my fourth trip to Cancun, I wanted to stay downtown. This hotel is a perfect location. Very close to the clubs, Hard Rock Cafe, Senor Frogs, shopping malls etc.... The lobby is amazing and the hotel is... more

We stayed at the Riu Cancun last week for a 6 day, 5 night getaway. The resort was beautiful, and in a great location. The pools and beaches are gorgeous. The food was good, the drinks were great, and the bartenders were very generous. The activities co-ordinators worked very hard to make sure you had a good time. The hotel... more

So when we arrived it was a nice looking hotel. the lobby was beautiful, but when you get off the elevator upstair...it looks like you feel back into the 70's. the doors looked like they needed a paint job.... more

Myself and my boyfriend stayed at the Riu Cancun from 22nd November to the 6th December. Prior to staying we had read multiple reviews which seemed a little mixed. Overall our stay was excellent, the staff were extremely accomadating and would bend over backwards to help you. The waiters at the 'swim up bar' were particualrly keen, even before you... more

Date stayed 26 Nov 2009 11 nights. At Cancun airport you are required to fill in two forms and keep the bottom half of one to hand back on exit along with $50 to $60 (dependent on exchange rate). Transfer from the airport to Hotel is about 20 minutes. The time difference from UK is 6 hours. The Riu Cancun... more
