$62 Cheap flight deals from Tijuana (TIJ) to Akumal (CUN)

Pros: We stayed in one of the beachfront bungalows and had our own private beach access, lounge chairs, even hammocks. THUMP THUMP THUMP My spouse is AFAB non-binary, post-chest surgery and was able to lie in the sun without a top -- something hard to do in a lot of beach spaces. The room looked nice and the bed was comfortable; toilet was separate from sinks and shower, which always helps with 2 people. THUMP THUMP THUMP Cons: The hotel next door plays really loud music from mid-afternoon until midnight or 2am, depending on the night. It's not Maya's fault, but the sound carries over the beach. We chose to go to Tulum because we heard it was quieter than Cancun, but this is unfortunately in the party district. THUMP THUMP THUMP I was able to tune out the music with ear plugs, but this meant that there was no falling asleep to the sound of the waves. My spouse had a harder time with it and had to take sleep aids because the THUMP THUMP THUMP was driving them insane. The lighting in the room is very ambient and relaxing at night, but there is almost no light by the bathroom mirror. THUMP THUMP THUMP If you want to put on makeup or shave, leave the room and find one of the random mirrors gracing the grounds around the hotel. At night, forget it. The restaurant turned us away at 5pm when they close at 6, told us to come back at 8. When we got food at 9 it was cold and underwhelming. If the THUMP THUMP THUMP in this review drives you nuts, look for a different hotel.

Its all about the Staff here in addition to the splendid property and food!

My friend Tiffany and I visited Cancun for her 35th birthday and I found this place on TikTok! We were there for 4 nights and very please with our stay from the time we got there. The staff were very helpful and pleasant anytime we need anything they were there to assist they even help us with booking our excursions and provided transportation! They offered pool parties at the other RIU as well which was very entertaining also provided the transportation to and from. For her birthday they left a nice card and towel made cake with two wine glasses and bottle of champagne! The food there was great! Thank you Riu Kukuklan for an amazing stay we would definitely stay here again!

This property is not equipped to handle the amount of people staying here. Peope are running to the pool and beach at 7 a.m. to get lounge chairs bc there are not enough on the property. The dining facilities are not large enough. My party was turned away a few times bc the various reataurants were full or at capacity (only one restaurant takes a reservation which is a scramble to get at 8 a.m. each morning).The room was outdated and needs renovating and new decor. It was hard to get anyone to help with anything. Once, I did connect with someone he/she was nice, polite, and helpful. The hotel is understaffed and needs more lounge chairs and umbrellas.

Wife and I went with a 3 other couples. Knowing what we read based of previous reviews, I’d say it was def interesting for sure. The theme nights are fun and entertaining for sure. As far as things to do, there isn’t much. Two small pools and few dining options. We made the best of it as we do anywhere we go. Overall, I’d give this place a 6.5/10.
