    Amazing stay at hotel riu cancun

    first time ever at a riu couldn’t be more happy, staff was excellent! a big thing for me is cleanliness and it exceeded my expectations! i’ve been recommending to everyone! can’t not wait to go back

    Overall great, would stay again

    The staff here is incredible. Food is not excellent, but not bad at all. A few of the buffet items are really good, most of the rest are average. A la cartes have hit or miss food, most being average. The location of the hotel is prime, right by downtown and right by the ferry to go to Isla. Riu party at Caribe was great, highly recommend. The Michael Jackson show surpassed my expectations. The rooms feel a little cheap with very little sound insulation from your neighbours but this is a "party" oriented resort so I wouldn't come here expecting quiet at 10PM & peak relaxation. View from our room on 15 was incredible. Overall I would recommend this resort as I think the value is hard to beat.

    Great Location

    This resort was in a great location. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. The property grounds were well kept. It's more of an older crowd, but you have access to other Riu properties with shuttle to and from. The only thing i will flag is the food. It was mediocre. It's an all inclusive, so my expectations weren't high, but other Riu properties in Mexico and Jamaica surpassed my expectations. Dinner was just not good. Breakfast was fine. The lunch hut at the pool was the best. They had nice options with great flavor and great service. Drinks throughout the resort were great. All in all, I would recommend this resort. Just plan to eat out for dinner.

    Beautiful hotel in a perfect location

    Our stay at Riu Cancun was smooth and fun. Everything from the reception to the room service was on point. Food was always delicious and new food items were being presented daily. The ocean view is priceless and it's centrally located with a bus stop across the street and a convenient port nearby at Playa Caracol, where you can take the ferry to wonderful Isla Mujeres every hour. Unforgettable vacation!

    A pleasant stay

    We enjoyed our stay at this resort as a group of friends. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the common areas were nice. The elevators were slow and we spent a lot of time waiting for them. The buffet was above average for a resort of this caliber and the specialty restaurants (no reservation needed) were all good, except the steakhouse could use a little better quality meat. The bartenders and staff were pleasant and efficient and the pool areas were well maintained except the hot tub was not working during our stay. Overall, we were happy with our stay at RIU Cancun.
