 Ocean in front of the Riu cancun 

Hi i'm going to the Riu Cancun in Dec. Just wondering if the waves are fairly big?

I was at the Oasis Playa last year and the waves where awsome.,but i was told the waves are alot calmer where the Riu Cancun is.and also i was told that the Riu Cancun is so high that you get alot of shade. just wondering what time of day the sun goes and hides behind the hotel ,and if you can still find some spots with sun (on the beach or by the pool)

thx.

They waves are not huge at the Riu. But it also depends on the weather.Yes the sun does shade the hotel around 3pm. You can simply go down to the beach and the sun is very hot down there.P.S. where in Ontario. I am also from Ontario.(stoney creek).
