We just returned from Riu Cancun. We were only able to stay 3 nights due to time restrictions, however, the weather was great and the water was very very nice. I always study these Trip Advisor review and check the forum comments for the resort and area where we are planning to stay. This was our first stay at the... more

We would definitely return to the hotel. We had a Jr. Suite which was fabulous. Beautiful view of pool area and beach. Food at the buffet was good for breakfast and lunch. The dinner fare was ok most nights, but there were two nights that were real good. We tried the steak restaurant(excellent, with outdoor seating), the Chinese restaurant (not... more
