Seriously, your review/tour videos are the best! What's your take on why these resorts don't have palapas on the beach?😭😭 I feel like those umbrellas are basically useless. And which would you recommend... Kukulkan or Peninsula? We are a young 60 year old couple😂. Love good food and the beach. Thank you
@WherewegoingNext3 ай бұрын
Thank you! I don’t know why Riu doesn’t do beach umbrellas 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ it’s unfortunate 👎 the food is pretty good at both resorts - but if you’re looking for a good beach, Peninsula is your best choice. Riu Latino is also a great option - adults-only, amazing beach, new hotel, great food and service 👍🏻👍🏻

We just stayed there for a week. Gorgeous, immaculate resort. Best customer service. Gorgeous, clean beaches. We had a gorgeous beach front suite… spectacular views all day long. The downside.. each restaurant’s food had a HORRENDOUS MELDEW TASTE!! The breads, the tortilla chips, the fruit, the ice cream… HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. The other downside of Cancún is the smell. The air smells like sewage. The water in the hotel smells like sewage…. Most likely the reason why the resort pumps an abundance of fragrances through out the lobby and rooms. We had to cover the vents because it was giving us a headache.

I was just there 2 weeks ago for 6 days with wifey This is my 10th trip to Cancún Pros The resort is pristine, brand new, only been open for over a year or so Rooms are nice, showers, room air AC etc. Hot tub in the junior suite, nice balcony Oceanview 3 pools for use for the common people There is also an additional elite club pool that is nothing special One of the pools is a swim up party pool The other pool is a fun activities volleyball etc. music pool one is a quiet pool It is all inclusive 5 restaurants all next to each other so no need to walk around far distances between restaurants Food options were decent nothing stellar but not bad There is an Italian, Mexican, Asian fusion, steakhouse, and obviously a general buffet which in my opinion was the best food overall There is 1 cappuccino and coffee bar with sweets that is decent 24-hour food room service I did not try Awesome outdoor theater for shows and performances and live music Great location in the middle of the hotel zone strip Walking distance to both luxury malls Close proximity to downtown party scene club central Beach is nice so was the water per usual Service and hospitality was solid Cons It is actually a small resort, for some makes getting around easier but it is quite limited in activities and entertainment especially in the evening It lacks a game room or sports bar The night entertainment and shows are lackluster Had to leave the resort each night They herd you like cattle and take you to the other Riu resort for their beach and foam pool parties For the price point it is not a bad option but there are definitely better resorts that you can explore Show less
