My stay at Riu Cancun was quite disappointing, primarily due to the quality of the rooms and the dining experience. While the location is convenient, the food cleanliness and variety left a lot to be desired. The staff was friendly, though I faced significant challenges with cash access which limited my enjoyment of the resort.

I recently returned from a two-week stay at Riu Cancun, and I must say, my experience was lovely! The staff were incredibly attentive and made every effort to ensure I had a wonderful time. The food options were plentiful and delicious; however, I found the pool area to be shaded early in the afternoon, which was a bit disappointing. Overall, I had a fantastic trip filled with fun activities and great memories! 🌴🍹
