Property nice, rooms nice, entertainment needed work, some nights the entertainment was boring. Towels in room should be repleced, they looked like they had been washed a thousand times. Maids who made up the room work was inconsistent. Sometimes they did a good job and sometimes they didn't. Sometimes they didn't leave enough towels.

Riu cancun offers great accommodations for a short stay in Cancun. My boyfriend and I enjoyed the activities offered at the hotel as well as the food & beverages from Miramar restaurant. The beach is clean and kept in good condition for its guests.

The resort section…lobby and dining areas were excellent. The rooms however were very outdated and in desperate need of upgrades. Also the TV was very small with poor picture and sound quality. There was little to no English language on most or all TV channels. The walls are extremely thin, we could hear the other guests talking in the next room.

This place is party central and LOUD around the main pools. The buffet seems to be the same thing every meal, only changing a few items on some days. And we saw some shady stuff with another customer being double charged for her underaged daughter. The front desk people seemed to be pulling a fast one. We won't be back. The Royal properties are MUCH BETTER and less expensive.

There was a lathe variety of dining options but would have been great to have an optional Mexican restaurant or even more Mexican choice on the buffet. The property was very clean and staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Note this is a non smoking hotel with one small smoking sedition at the very end of the property which with being disabled was not easy for me to get to.

We just got back from Riu Cancun. My wife and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary along with our 10 month old baby! Bety at the front desk was very helpful and recommended the best floor and side of the resort to stay in. After approximately 2.5 hrs of wait, we finally got our room on the 7th floor (room 720). We loved the unobstructed view of the blue ocean waters and the pool. Our 10 month old daughter loved the pool. My wife and i enjoyed the balcony views, pool, and the beach. We also like the fact that it's only a 10 minute walk to the nightlife. We had sun during our 4 day with no rain and saw amazing sunrises and sunsets. We definitely recommended this hotel. We look forward to going back.

We have so many good things to say about the RIU Cancun. When we travel to all inclusive hotels with generally don’t have high expectations for the food or drinks. The main buffet was generally very good, fresh and tons of choices. This was by far the best all inclusive main buffet we have experienced. There were no lines, maybe one or two people ahead of you. Four of our six nights we ate at à la cart restaurants for dinner. It was easy to get in. No reservations needed. The service was excellent, and the food was very good. The drinks were also very good. The bar staff is fast efficient and will make whatever you want. They even had some call brands included. Around the pool can be crowded and loud, there’s an adult pool with a swim up bar. That is fun. There is an activity pool, and also a completely quiet pool area. The infinity pools are very nice. The room was modern and clean, with a nice large bathroom and two sinks. The minibar stocking could have been a little better. A good idea might be to have you checkboxes for what you want. I went to the customer service desk to ask what kind of special arrangements I could make for our 20th anniversary day, I was told they have this covered. They did a beautiful job decorating our room. Made it extra special. Avoid MTS travel for your excursions . Communication was terrible and the excursion sold, was not the one we experienced.

Staff were nice and kept resort clean. Felt like could have had better selection for food on buffet or changed it up a little different each night. After a few days of same food choices it got where I didn’t want to go to dinner anymore at the property. Could use more elevators. But overall we had a good time.

Had a good stay , I got a ocean front suite , the room was nice , yet dated ! The AC was either too cold , or hardly working , the hallways were Hot, and so were most of the Elevators ! Food was pretty good , minus a few items. Loved the mini bar. This property didn’t offer room service , which made it a big inconvenience. They also need a microwave in the rooms . The view , and most of the staff , and the cleanliness, makes the resort. This will be my last time coming here . I”ll only be going to the New RIU’S. This one is lacking!
