Remarks:
"The grounds of the hotel are immaculate. The pools were wonderful. I think there were four of them. The ocean frontage was great. I had heard concerns over the rocks, but didn't find them to be a problem. The food...I'm not really one for buffets. Everyday the food was the same at the buffets. Some (not all) didn't look really appealing, although no one got sick during our stay there. The Japanese restaurant was really a nice change and I'd really recommend that you try it out. The Room...had an awful smell the first night. The shower water smelled like rotten eggs. We talked to the front desk and they did send someone to look at the problem within an hour. After a day the room smell seemed to disappear. The beds were hard and the linens and towels were old. The TV was small and old as well. Can you believe they still use keys for the doors and safe? The rooms really need to be upgraded to the same level as the grounds!!!! The lobby area is really outdated and the furniture there is old as well. Staff at the restaurants, pools and bars were very friendly."

Remarks:
"It was my first time at Cancun. Eerything was awesome and beautiful from 15th floor to the middle of the ocean where I did para-sailing for first time in my life (I always dreaming to do that) yes finally I did it and also snorkeling but unfortunately after 10min. I got phobic and I couldn't continue, but I recommend to my friends, family and everybody to go and see Cancun and especially Riu Cancun with all and best entertainment for one years old to 100 years old everybody had fun at any time of day with does young and full energy, nice looking kids kept every body busy without to fill go out from that hotel. The only thing I would like to suggest them to use better detergent and better quality for sheets. When you go to sleep you can smell better so you don't have to spray perfume before go to bed. (that was what I did for 5 nights). I wish for everybody who goes vacation can enjoy as much as they can. Bon voyage." - Adrina from Glendale, California

Remarks:
"There was 12 of us that went for a week and it was awesome. You could have not ask for a better time and place. Everything was great; the beer, the food, the pool, dancing, ocean, the flight and better yet....the staff. Poco was one of the staff members and he took care of us all week long. If you ever get a chance to go, make sure you don't miss out. We're hoping to go back in Oct '09 to have another BLAST. See you at the RIU in Oct 09."

"The resort was beautiful but the rooms were awful. It felt like sleeping in a Motel 6. The beds were pushed together and hard as a rock. Plus there was an awful smell in the room. Everything else was wonderful but I think attention needs to be focused on those rooms!."

Remarks:
"We have been in Cancun ten times and this was our first time at the Riu Cancun. We loved it. Service was excellent, rooms were clean, food was perfect,pool area was kept very clean as were the grounds. The staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. My husband had chest pains one night and I went to the front desk to ask about a doctor. Before I got back to the room, the doctor was there as was the hotel manager. I would highly recommend this resort for anyone as it has everything to offer the young and the older folk as well."

Remarks:
"Our first time to Cancun and we chose to stay at the RIU Cancun hotel/resort. Excellent choice!! The hotel is kept spotless. Room was very nice with a terrific balcony and view. Staff was friendly and very accessable. What can I say about the food.........except fabulous!. Something for everyone, at any time of the day. Nothing like having your breakfast outside on a shaded veranda overlooking the beach and pool. The beach is relatively small but very well kept and clean. More than enough lounge chairs for everyone at the beach and the pool. And the entertainment...... WOW. The kids on the entertainment staff made our stay so much fun. From the sheduled activities you could sign up for to the impromtue fun and games in the pool, and lets not forget the nightly shows. These kids are a huge asset to the resort. You felt as though you got to know them all by the end of your stay........always friendly, always smiling. Would I recommend it?? All I can say is we have already made plans to return next year. :-)." - M. from Port Washington, Wisconsin
