This is definitely NOT a 5 star property! 2-3 stars, maybe! Our room was dated, dingy, and depressing. The dark blue furniture was new in the '70's ... and the bedding was old, thin, and pilled. The power was intermittent - often went out for and hour or two, and then came on, leaving people stuck in their rooms without... more

Our room was dated dull and dingy, our air conditioning didn’t work and “rattled” continuously. After 2 days we asked for it to be fixed, we were told... more

Riu Cancun Hotel -14 September to 28th September 2008 Before I start, I would like to confirm at the outset that I had a good holiday!

This was my first time to Mexico and was a great experience. Me and my boyfriend went September 1st-6th. We stayed at Rui Cancun and really enjoyed it. They have so much to do that you would never have to leave the resort. It was really clean and the service was great. The resort was beautiful and breath taking. Remember... more

This was our second visit to the Riu Cancun so we knew exactly what to expect, and certainly weren't disappointed. We were in Cancun from 4th September to the 18th September. Check In On arrival we were taken to a room and told about the facilities in the hotel and how things worked, at that point we were handed our... more
