Living It Up In Cancun!

Advantages: All Inclusive, Good Location, Comfortable Surroundings, Fabulous Views
Disadvantages: None

The Riu Caribe (pronounced Ree-oo Careebay and not the ridiculous way many others have settled on) is an all inclusive resort located in the Hotel Zone of Cancun. It’s a five star hotel and its copious amounts of facilities mean it is worth every one its official stars. On a personal level, I’d give it four stars, we had a fantastic time and the hotel was great, but there are others in the world that are a little more luxurious. *Location* The ...
...world’s biggest hotel chains. The Riu Caribe is located at the end of the Hotel Zone, closer to Downtown Cancun than the central area. We found that the location was perfect as it wasn’t right in the centre where all the noisy clubs and bars are, but it was just a short bus ride into the action. The buses stop right outside the hotel and are only about 35p per journey. If you do go into the centre, there is another Riu hotel called the Rui Cancun ...

5* Paradise - Riu Cancun, Hotel

Advantages: Clean, Value for Money, Beautiful
Disadvantages: None

...this was down to the Riu Cancun. We flew with Thomson and booked at quite short notice. I had always wanted to go to Cancun as it looked so fun and beautiful - I wasn't disappointed! It was the first time we had ever gone All Inclusive, which we were expecting to hate, as we love going out and exploring and didn't want to be stuck in a complex all day every day. However, with a place like this you cannot complain. Our flight was pretty much pain ...
...for your drinks. The Riu also has a few bars, one that also serves snacks during the day. The Sports Bar can be found upstairs, near the conference rooms - word to the wise - do not attempt that flight of stairs if you've had a couple! The Sports bar is opened 24/7, however we went there at 3pm and 5pm on different occasions and there were no staff to be found. I'm not complaining as they could've been in the toilet for all I know, just something ...

Review of Riu Cancun, Cancun

A Superb hotel

Advantages: Give it a go
Disadvantages: Not much

Riu Yucatan Mexico. We stayed here last year and to be honest it was a fairly decent hotel. In need of a little TLC but otherwise Not bad. Trip from the airport takes about 40 minutes and you see some deprived areas, not a pleasant start to your holiday and you eventually reach the high gated communities which contain the multitude of 3, 4 and 5 star hotels. You are now in Playa del Carmen. The hotel is one of the Riu brand ...
...Riu Palace and similarly just over the road is the hotels sister the Tequila and a little up the road the Riu Playacar. Situated right on the beach the hotel has a prime location but beware there is not all that much shade on the beach as the static palm leaved sunshade often have holes in them as so you will find yourself rotating around the umbrella pole if it’s a bit of shade you crave. Better to laze around the pools where respite can easily ...

Review of Riu Yucatan, Playa Del Carmen

An Oasis in the middle of Mexico

Advantages: The price, location, staff, food
Disadvantages: damp rooms

...for our first night in oasis viva beach. Okay so the room on the second floor was not good, not only did it have a crappy view of a palm tree it stank of damp, the room itself wasn’t bad, it had 2 double beds, a nice wee balcony with table and chairs, plenty of clothes storage, air conditioning and a TV, there were no tea and coffee making facilities but when it comes to all inclusive this is really not required….the bathroom however was a bit manky ...
...to stay in the grand oasis viva beach you get a different coloured wrist band which is black and this means you get a few more extra perks which include a mini fridge in your room in which all contents are free and updated daily, room service from a limited menu, access to a VIP bar (which always looked empty mind) and also free dining in the steak restaurant…..but as we were only here for one night we didn’t make use of any of these things. One ...

Review of Oasis Viva Beach, Cancun

Mexico's Party Paradise Hotel!

Advantages: Great hotel, service and location
Disadvantages: Some people can be quite loud

Paradise in Mexico! The Riu Cancun is an amazing hotel, the location is great, the service is great & the people/staff are great. ------------ Location ------------ The Riu Cancun is in Cancun, Mexico. It is situated about 20 minutes from Cancun Airport. This is great as transfers are easy and not too long, especially after a 10 and a half hour flight. The airport is a reasonable size and very modern. The Riu Cancun is located in the heart of ...
...too close that all you can hear is constant music/noise/drunks from the hotel. The main club/bar strip is only a 5 minute walk from the front door of the Riu. ---------------- The Resort ---------------- Cancun is known for its party atmosphere, spring break and that general 18-30's atmosphere. If this is what you think, you are completely wrong. Although Cancun has great nightlife it also has a quieter side to it. The clubs mostly cost an all ...
