The food was wildly mediocre, and they were no help arranging transportation to the air port. They told me after the fact I had to reserve 7 days in advance but that was never mentioned in the booking. I even reached before our trip to Try and arrange but because we were coming from playa del Carmen couldn’t help but didn’t take the time to ask about our departure transportation. They tried to charge me 45$ for transport apon my checkout when it came with my elite club booking that was almost 3k dollars. We ended up just getting an uber comfort for 20$ Other than that the staff was pretty friendly.

The resort is new and beautiful. The beach is nice (TONS of seaweed, they tried to rake it). The rooms are really nice with great ocean views. The food is just okay, nothing spectacular and none of the restaurants open until 6:30pm. Your only choice throughout most of the day is the buffet or the little food stand near the pools that has the same selection each day. The buffet is huge with lots of choices, but it’s not outstanding food. The omelets made to order were great though. Unfortunately one night our tv kept turning itself on and we lost a lot of sleep that night continuing to try to turn it off. We called for maintenance but after 20 minutes of waiting at 1:30am, we tried to just deal with it and sleep with clothing and pillows over our faces, but it was so bright even still. The hotel manager refused to help and said I had to contact Expedia. They tried their best but the hotel still refused to refund us that one night. They should look into that and not require their guests to have sleepless nights with no refund on those nights. So disappointing. We did not do the elite club and were glad we didn’t. That “exclusive pool” has nothing special, it’s a boring square pool with no seats in it, no infinity edge, no table, no bar. Just cabanas around it, that’s it. Those rooms are the top 3 floors of the hotel, but our view from the 8th floor was just as stunning. The EC restaurant is small and looked boring too. Save your money. The other 3 pools are where the fun is

Nous avons passé un séjour tout simplement inoubliable au Riu Kukulkan. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis, et chaque membre du personnel a fait preuve d’une gentillesse et d’un professionnalisme remarquables. En tant que membres du Club Élite, notre expérience a été encore plus spéciale. Les petits privilèges et attentions supplémentaires ont vraiment fait toute la différence, et nous ont permis de profiter pleinement de nos vacances dans un cadre luxueux, relaxant et bien organisé. Les installations sont impeccables, la nourriture variée et délicieuse, et les animations toujours divertissantes sans jamais être envahissantes. Un vrai équilibre entre détente et plaisir. Nous repartons avec des souvenirs merveilleux et le cœur léger. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe du Riu Kukulkan — nous reviendrons, c’est certain !
