We got a bargain for this holiday, we got £400 each knocked off in the Thomson sale and cannot believe what we got for our money. Rooms nice, food great, staff polite and helpful and the arrange of drinks was fantastic. The free mini bar was also a nice touch! Really want to come back.

I stayed here for my honey moon in late Feb 2013 and enjoyed it very much! After reviewing many reviews i went with this option as the best deal for my money. I can't say enough about how great of a deal it was. You get what you pay for. Very clean rooms (Vegas style), clean pools, and great (premium)... More

We booked a Junior Suite at RIU Cancun for our honeymoon in April. We used Lomas for our airport transportation and they were wonderful!! We were served drinks while we were checking in which was a very nice treat after a long day of flying. The hospitality at this hotel is amazing, the views are incredible and there is food... More

Stayed at the Riu Cancun for a "girlfriend getaway" with 4 of my friends (aged between 35-44), from May 8-15, 2013. GREAT STAY!!! As always, I consider TripAdvisor to be a trusted source for info as I prep for a trip. This trip was no exception. I'm always amazed by the expanse of reviews, from "horrible" to "outstanding." As has... More

Riu Cancun has so many plus points but quite a few bad at the same time. Don't get me wrong the hotel is great but I would not return unless I knew certain things had changed. The Hotel building is magnificent and the location is fab but it is looking tired and quite shabby in places. Saying this though it... More
