I stayed in Riu Cancun Hotel from August 16 to August 23. I loved it!!!! The staff is so friendly there. Everyone works so hard to keep you satisfy. The staff cleans the place 24/7. The food was awesome. The buffet was great. Different kind of food every day, huge breakfast. The staff in the buffet was great, especially Cruz.... more

We stayed at this hotel from 9th Aug 08 to 23rd Aug 08. Overall it was a superb hotel. The food was very good, with a choice of four restaurants. One Brazilian (you have to book very early in the morning) which wasn't so good, One Japanese (which you also have to book) which was very good, one buffet restaurant... more

We had previously been to the Riu in 2004 and loved it. But on this trip I could not believe how tired the hotel looked and the number of 18-30 year olds who had us awake every night as they returned from the clubs was awful. The entertainment team only seemed interested in this group and organising them for the... more

My husband and I stayed at the Rui from Aug 3 - Aug 8. We read so many reviews of so many hotels that we discovered not one hotel had 100% good reviews. So, we chose the Riu and crossed our fingers. Luckily we picked the right hotel. The Riu is very large and beautiful. The beach is one of... more

I did not wright a review after returning from our trip, however, after reading some I've decided this is needed. I do not understand what resort all these 5 reviewers were at. I must have stayed at another RIU Cancun? Yes, it is a short drive from the airport. Yes, the beach is pretty. Yes, the location to the clubs... more

I stayed at Riu Cancun from July 27- August 3 with my sister. I did a lot of research before and wanted to pick the best hotel in Cancun for our summer vacation. The Riu was the best resort I’ve ever stayed at, and I had the best trip here. I met a lot of great people from all over... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at this hotel last month and we had the best time ever. ALthough we had Hurricane Dolly for 3 days still did not put a damper on the holiday..... We went to Cancun last year and decided to go back again but to a different hotel. This hotel is the best we have ever stayed... more
