I had a very nice experience overall at this hotel. The contemporary design and clean rooms made for a pleasant stay. However, the lack of poolside service and restrictions on food near the pool were a bit of a disappointment. The dining options were varied, but I felt the overall dining experience could improve.

The hotel is situated in a great spot with beautiful beach views and easy access to nightlife. The rooms, while clean, felt dated and had some maintenance issues.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the hotel. While the entertainment staff and bartenders were fantastic, and the rooms were clean, the dining experience was lacking, particularly in the buffet. The management of the hotel needs to pay attention to customer service, as it detracted from an otherwise enjoyable trip.

The RIU Cancun offers a beautiful beach and a lively atmosphere, perfect for those looking to have fun.
