The hype
Travelers love the location and the staff's energy, but the rooms feel dated and the food is 'quantity over quality'.

Értékelte @Allure: I stayed at Riu Cancun and the vibe was incredible. Waking up to that turquoise ocean view never got old. We took a day trip to ride golf carts and swim in cenotes—it was the perfect mix of party and adventure. You have to try the horseback riding!

Tisztaság és karbantartás
6.5
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, but they often miss dust on high shelves or under beds.
- Bathroom hygiene: Functional but dated. Grout often shows signs of age and discoloration.
- Maintenance: The relentless humidity takes a toll; peeling paint and musty AC units are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Towels can be scratchy and thin. Sheets are clean but basic poly-blend.
- Odors & scents: Strong musty/mildew smell in many rooms is the #1 complaint. Bring air freshener.

GYIK és rejtett tippek
Minden, amit tényleg tudni szeretnél a foglalás előtt.
Is Riu Cancun really adults only?
Yes, as of recently, it is strictly 18+. No children are allowed.
Is there a resort fee?
No traditional resort fee, but you must pay the Environmental Sanitation Tax (~$4.50 USD per room/night) at check-in.
Do I need reservations for dinner?
No. All restaurants are first-come, first-serve. Arrive early (6:00-6:30 PM) to avoid hour-long waits.
Is the alcohol watered down?
It's standard all-inclusive rail liquor. It does the job, but don't expect top shelf unless you tip well or bring your own.
Can I use the facilities at other Riu hotels?
You can visit Riu Caribe for the parties, but you generally cannot use the facilities at the higher-tier Riu Palace Las Americas next door.
How is the wifi?
Free and surprisingly decent in the rooms and lobby, though it can spotty out by the beach.
Insider tippek
- ✨
The 'Sports Bar' is open 24/7 and has a microwave if you need to heat up late-night snacks.
- ✨
Ask for a 'to-go' cup at the bar before heading to the clubs; they'll often fill your tumbler.
- ✨
The 'Steakhouse' is actually a buffet for starters/sides with a la carte mains—don't be confused when you walk in.
5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt
💡The 'liquor dispenser' in the room sounds cool but often dispenses warm, harsh spirits.
💡The elevators are like saunas—hot, stuffy, and slow.
💡You can walk to the ferry terminal for Isla Mujeres (Playa Tortugas is nearby, or the one at Playa Caracol).
💡The 'Quiet Pool' isn't actually that quiet, just *less* loud than the party pool.
💡Room service is very basic and often takes over an hour.
