Went for a quick trip to get away and relax. Was a very nice place to stay, clean, great service, and friendly staff. Being from Chicago, we are good lovers so food at restaurants could have been a little to match the atmosphere. Overall great quiet place for an adult only stay.

Great adults-only hotel in Cancún!

This hotel was a great find! The facilities were excellent, offering everything I needed and more. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable. My room was comfortable and well-appointed, and I appreciated the attention to detail. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this hotel.

The restaurants were good overall but the service was excellent and the Coffee bar was my favorite! Pools were good and the view of the ocean amazing. Gym was great too. Walking to La Isla mall was okay but there was not much that was walkable near the hotel so Taxi or Uber required to get around town.

Overall happy with stay at this resort. First visit. I would return. Great view of beach and ocean from all pools and hotel. Beach access easy and plenty of chairs. We spent most our time on beach rather than pools. Was neat to have three pool choices. Beautiful grounds and trees. Food was ok, typical of resort all inclusive style food. The Asian and Italian restaurants were our favorites. They are small but we only had to wait for a bit one night and was able to sit right away three other nights. Service is fast and polite! Enjoyed my stay here in Cancun!

They kicked me out of the hotel on the evening of my first day of check-in. As a solo traveler, they left me out for the evening and did not care at all. Only because of a misunderstanding, because of the exaggeration and slander of their own employees about me, did the hotel manager let me out of the hotel.. While returning from the pink party outside the hotel, the working animator girl told me harshly that the girl sitting next to me was drunk so dont talk her not kiss smtg . İ also mood I was a bit drunk . Thats normal thats why we choose Riu . and I tried to tell her that I hadn't done anything anyway and that the drunk girl had kissed me too. There was no forced situation. After all, the girl fell asleep and we didn't do anything and I wasn't doing anything at that moment anyway. The animator girl held my arm and spoke to me and I just pushed her hand away so that she would let me go. It was only a 5-minute conversation. We had arrived at the hotel. That girl exaggerated this incident to the manager and they took me out of the hotel. We are coming for a vacation. Everyone can drink alcohol and get close. There was nothing to exaggerate here and they sent me away because the animator girl told the incident differently. I am very sorry. I was really innocent but they left me without warning me. They didn't return my money either. Doesn't it upset you at all to do such an injustice and leave us in a difficult situation? How will you sleep soundly? They are heartless

You can hear a lot of street traffic even on the oceanfront side of the property. Beachfront was fantastic. Food was ok. Asian and steakhouse were good. Italian and dinner buffet I’d skip. They should Move the crepe station To breakfast instead Of dinner. Shower in the room was the best feature

Wow... what a fabulous resort. My taxi was met by an attenndent who opened my door and whisked my bags to the lobby. Check-in was fast, while I sipped on a glass of sparking champagne. It just got better from there! The food was exceptional, and the buffet was an ever changing delight. Beaches were clean with attendants who grabbed chairs, umbrellas, and drinks for us. The lobby bar was filled with laughter, and there was always something going on. Pools were great! Rooms were clean, and the refrigerator was filled daily with beer and plenty of water. Therenwere full sized bottles of alcoholic hoices in your room and mixers. ***** Too much to describe. It's a very classy place! Did I mention 24hour room serice?
