Most people in Cancun are very friendly but the staff at the Riu tops them all. You get what you pay for in terms of the room and hotel grounds, but the service was outstanding. Yes sir, no sir, may I help you sir? Awesome - thank you Riu! I'm a meat and potatoes guy - very happy with the... more

We had a fantastic holiday at the Riu Cancun. The service was exceptional, the staff went out of there way to please us. The food was fantastic with plenty of variety. The hotel had four fantastic pools with something to please everyone. The entertainment team was great fun and worked very hard. The beach is beautiful and the sea water... more

In 2005, we stayed at Dreams Cancun for our honeymoon and LOVED everything...the food, the premium beverages, the calm, quiet of the "romance" tower and the views. By comparison, we found the Riu Cancun to be lacking -- cheap liquor, poor drink quality, mediocre food and an all-around spring break kind of atmosphere. We were originally placed in a room... more

Great location. Great ocean view room, clean with in-room bar. Rooms are nice. Beach is white sand, clean and really nice. Can walk for miles on the beach. Food is very good and lots of it. Huge buffet in main restaurant (breakfast, lunch & dinner) that changes slightly for ethnic foods each night. Brazilian bar-b-que and Japanese restaurants in hotel.... more

We booked through Funjet Vacations and they are also first rate all the way. Check-In: We arrived around 1:30pm and were served drinks immediately,... more

We stayed at Riu Cancun from Aug. 18th- Aug. 23 :-) We booked through our local travel agent using Apple Vacations. Apple Vacations primarily uses an airline called USA 3000, we flew out of Chicago and the ride was smooth both there and back (direct flights). Customs in Cancun took seriously 20 minutes possibly because we flew in on a... more

Our first time in Cancun was 3 years ago and we loved it so decided to return. Unfortunatley Cancun has gone down hill since we last came. The hotel was a good hotel but it is just a shame about the other people staying there! The hotel is mainly full of young Americans who are there to get drunk all... more
