I recently stayed at the Riu Cancun and was extremely disappointed. The beds were dirty, there was mold in the shower, and I even encountered bugs in the room. They still use outdated physical room keys that deactivate if they get near a phone or any electronics super inconvenient. The food was mediocre at best and definitely not what you’d expect for the price. Overall, this was a terrible experience, and I would not stay here again or recommend it to anyone.

I had an amazing stay at Riu Cancun Resort! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to all the best bars, restaurants, and the exciting nightlife. The food was delicious, the entire hotel was super clean, and the staff went above and beyond with their friendly service. Being right on the beach was a huge plus—perfect for swimming—and the pools with swim-up bars were a blast! Every night there was fun entertainment and live music that kept the energy going. And the best part? Unlimited drinks! I had such a great time and can’t wait to go back again!

Riu Cancun was nice and I would stay here again. Everything was clean, I believe all rooms have an ocean view, we upgraded to a Jr Suite which was great. There is no room service just an fyi but everything else was great. All the staff were great Jose at the sports bar and Soquero at the pool bar were great bartenders. The location is prime, close to all the clubs, restaurants etc & the pool parties are a must it was FUN. 5 days and we didn’t try any of the restaurants cause the buffet had everything. The beach is swimmable and clean. I’d stay here again.
