I had a great time at Riu Cancun, enjoying the beach and the lively atmosphere. but there were enough issues to warrant a lower rating. While the ocean view from my room was stunning, I encountered several inconveniences, from slow elevators to limited bathroom facilities. Overall, my experience was fun, but it could be improved with better communication and maintenance.

Rooms

6.0

The 12th-floor room offered a gorgeous ocean view and was cleaned daily, though it felt a bit damp and the beds were smaller than expected. privacy was lacking due to the window into the shower. The connecting door to the next room let in too much noise; earplugs are a must.

Service

The staff were largely friendly and helpful, though my experience with the reception wasn't ideal. I encountered issues with my room key and had to follow up several times for an extra bed. this lack of communication was frustrating.

Location

The hotel's location was fantastic, especially for nightlife, with the beach right at our feet and beautiful white sand. however, it could have benefited from additional sun coverage by the pool in the afternoon.

Dining

The buffet offered a great variety of tasty foods, though the specialty restaurants didn’t quite meet expectations. they were decent but not excellent, and the lack of room service was a bit disappointing.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities included a decent pool area and access to the beach, but the cramped bathrooms and slow elevators left something to be desired. and the nightclub experience could use some improvement.

I recently stayed at Riu Cancun (Adults Only) and overall, it was a mixed experience. The hotel has a lively atmosphere that caters to younger guests, which I found a bit overwhelming at times. The location is ideal for exploring nearby attractions, but the accommodations left a lot to be desired, particularly regarding cleanliness and service.

Rooms

The Junior Suite had a beautiful view, but cleanliness was a major issue, with hair on the couch and mold in the bathroom. It wasn't as spacious as I expected for the price I paid.

Service

While some staff members were friendly, the service was lacking overall. I felt neglected, as staff rarely checked in with us and I had issues getting towels on multiple occasions.

Location

The location was perfect for accessing shops and entertainment, but the hotel felt cramped and uncomfortable at times. I appreciated being close to the beach, even if the sand wasn't directly accessible.

Dining

5.0

Dining was disappointing; the buffet lacked variety and cleanliness, which made me eat off-resort more often. Specialty restaurants like the steakhouse were hard to get into, and the food quality wasn’t great.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities like the pools were nice, but they weren't cleaned properly, leaving trash floating around. Closing pools at 7pm seemed way too early for a resort.
