RIU CANCUN all inclusive

John Nov 21, 2009

I've been to lots of hotels and this was not a 5 star. A solid 4 star though, with it's good points and it's bad points. ... The lobby does have a 5 star feel to it, but parts of the hotel are barely 3 star. The pool was 5 star with plenty of different pools to relax, party or a little of both. The beach was down right small, but they did have a netted area for swimming and snorkeling etc came with the package. The rooms were barely 3 star and a LOT of stuff just didn't work...the beds were very uncomfortable. Mini bar and alcohol was rarely refilled...our vodka was empty when we got there and wasn't filled the entire 7 days. I broke a table on accident and had to pay $227...that's what they have insurance for? The breakfast and lunch buffets were very good and the various restaurants were even better. Location is very close to Cocoa Bongo and most of the tourist clubs, with some shopping directly across the street. The disco inside the hotel isn't really worth your time.

One of the Best Hotel Ever Stayed

You just can not beat the location of Riu Cancun. A shopping mall is right across the street from the hotel lobby. Walking ... distance to Forum by the Sea, another shopping center. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The food is fantastic. Free entertainment every night. Free Wi-Fi in the hotel lobby. Everything is included: food, drink, minibar in the room... Great view of Carribean Sea from every hotel room. The bed is a bit hard though. Strongly recommend it to everyone.

Don Juan is the only restaurant that does not require a reservation. If you want to try the three speciaty restaurants, you need to make a reservation as early as possible. Kawachi is the least popular one and you can get the same day reservation. For the other two, you need to make reservation at least one day in advance.

Would recommend to a friend!

This was our first experience with going out of the country and our first week long vacation together since we have been ... married (27 years). This was something we were looking very much forward to and were a little nervous about leaving the country but it was WONDERFUL. We did not encounter any major problems and our flight & hotel experience was great. [...] The hotel was so pretty and the surrounding were nice. Everything we needed was right there. My husband enjoyed the choices of food more than I did. I am a pretty picky eater but the food was still good and we never went hungry. (Food & drinks 24 hours a day)We had a Junior suite and our room and ocean view balcony was very large. We were very pleased with it all and didn't want to leave. We would definately stay there again [...]

Riu Cancun

Kaye Oct 10, 2009

Would recommend to a friend!

The RIU Cancun is in a perfect location in the Cancun Hotel Zone. It is convenient to everything. The staff was very ... friendly and attentive. They did their best to keep the Resort spotless. The buffet had a large selection and it was impossible to not find something that you liked to eat. The pool selection was awesome. They had one for everyone's taste (quiet, activity, children, swim up bar, etc.) There was also tons of loungers at the beach. It would have been a perfect stay if they had drink service at the pools and beach. The Orbitz rep on site was very helpful with scheduling tours. We toured Chichen Itza and it was an interesting tour. The only two issues with the tour was the three hour drive to get there and the hassle from the vendors trying to sell their wares during the guided tour. No one can help the three hour drive but the vendors at the site should not be allowed to interupt the guided tour because you cannot properly listen to the historical information provided by the guide due to the constant and insistent interuptions by the vendors. They should patiently wait for the tourist to come by their areas during the free exploration time that is provided after the guided tour.

The shows were entertaining.

--Kimmi, Lincoln Nebraska Oct 31, 2009

Dining tip, In Hotel

Don Juan is the only restaurant that does not require a reservation. If you want to try the three speciaty restaurants, you need to make a reservation as early as possible. Kawachi is the least popular one and you can get the same day reservation. For the other two, you need to make reservation at least one day in advance.

Money savers tip

We took the bus to the malls for only 50 cents one way verses $10.00 for a taxi. It was perfectly safe and we went to our exact destination. Well worth the savings.

--john from indiana, Fort Wayne,Indiana Oct 4, 2009

Nightlife tip, Short Walk

All the clubs are within a short walk from the hotel. Go out with the hotel staff for $40-$60/night which includes cover and drinks and a "VIP" area. Not a drinker... just go to the club area and there will not be a shortage of people trying to sell you wristbands to get you in. You might be able to bargain them down. Also free Wi-Fi across the street at the local Starbucks if you have your laptop. It's expensive at the hotel.

--MJ, North Carolina Sep 30, 2009

--Chillin' in Cancun, Los Angeles Sep 19, 2009

Money savers tip

Take the buses! For $0.50 (US) each person each way, the bus will take you anywhere you need to go that's outside of walking distance. Just tell the bus driver (in your best accent-haha) where you need to be dropped off.

--firsttimecancuner, Chicago, IL Sep 16, 2009
