Riu Cancun * AI

dannapier · 11-26-2005, 05:45 PM

Riu Cancun is Amazing. I stayed There march 12-19 2005. So much to do. Non stop acxtivities and alot of corona on tap. I have never seen that before, but it was awsome. Anyone going to that hotel or any of the Riu's will never want to stay anywhere else.

SB 2006 March 18-25 "Riu Caribe"

That last picture you have there. of the bartender. I talked with that guy for a long time. He would always work that lobby bar.

Here is a nice pic from where my room is. As you can see it very busy.

Not necessarily.

If your girlfriedn booked through a charter comapny they will put her in another resort in March if the resort she chose is not open.

I was in Cancun about 10 days ago and from everything I am hearing, including a few friends who work for the Palace resorts, the Cancun Palace will not be open until May 31st.

Hola. Can anyone tell me the latest on the Riu Cancun?
I'm looking at possibly staying at the Riu Cancun next month if its operational!
Any input would be appreciated.
How is the beach recovering in that area?

Shana · 12-14-2005, 12:19 PM

aprilraine, I saw pics from brandts site, and also from another forum, the beach actually looks bigger than the last time I was there in March of 04. We'll be going down the 25th of Feb. for a week with my 2 daughters (8 & 10) We are all very excited!

RoynSandy · 01-07-2006, 11:07 PM

We stayed at the Riu the 2nd month it was open and really liked the resort.Everything was great,even though it was just opened.I can only imagine how wondeful this beautiful resort is now.When we were there we spent time talking to a bartender at the swim up bar his name was Carlos,we never took his picture but would love to have one,if by ANY chance someone might have one we would love to have a copy of it. Thanks R& S

TheBman · 01-20-2006, 01:29 AM

I stayed at the RIU in August of 2005 and I was blown away by every aspect of the hotel.
I have been going to Cancun every year since 1996-1997, stayed at many different hotels and I have to say that the RIU destroyed all the others.

I totally recommend this hotel.

Isabelle · 01-20-2006, 08:45 AM

i'll agree with you on that..... although last year was my first trip and i have not other resorts to compare it to.....but it was awesome

davissummer24 · 01-26-2006, 08:50 PM

Does anyone know what time they stop serving breakfast? I'm the roll out of bed at 10 kind of girl but I love breakfast!

If I remember correctly..their buffets go until 11 for breakfast

davissummer24 · 01-28-2006, 04:29 PM

Thanks Bman. Would hate to have to send the boyfriend down to sneak me up a plate lol

slimchick · 01-29-2006, 11:39 AM

It all sounds great, and I'm counting the days till I go in May (first timer). Just one thing - we've booked through a travel agent and the booking form says 'double room' - trouble is there are 3 of us - myself, O/H and son (18 years old). Surely they don't expect us to all share the same room?

ops: :shock: What happened to privacy? :wink: I've emailed the hotel direct to clarify, but haven't had a response as yet. HELP!

apple · 01-29-2006, 12:23 PM

unless you requested two rooms and paid for two rooms, i doubt you will get two rooms...you will get one room with two beds

slimchick · 01-29-2006, 05:39 PM

Thanks apple. I thought that may be the case. :-|

JoLiverpool · 01-31-2006, 11:18 AM

Slim

If yuo apply for a riu club class card - via their riu site u have a chance of getting upgraded to a suite room when u get there

its worth a try and its free

would give u more room than a normal room

slimchick · 01-31-2006, 12:53 PM

Thanks Jo - I'll look into that. :thumbsup:
I'll provide the confetti if it works

Optimum08 · 02-13-2006, 01:28 AM

insaneface · 02-13-2006, 04:30 PM

anyone?

Ben1553 · 03-09-2006, 02:34 AM

Unless they are already staying there....I found it extremely difficult to bring anyone from outside the resort in....So get your drink on at the pool bar, meet some people, hit the clubs, and then catch up with them when you get back.

CancunViaCO · 03-10-2006, 06:39 PM

I have stayed at RIU 4 times and seen guests try to sneak in people. Every time they get caught. You can bring in someboody but it will cost you. RIU charges arond $100 per day for this. Also, don't loose your towell card ($25) or wrist band ($100).

Yeah you'll be in the same room, otherwise your son would have had to pay a single supplement, meaning a buttload more money for him to have his own room. Send your kid off to the bar if you want to get some nookie :wink:

jwillborn · 03-19-2006, 07:35 PM

I'm torn between these 2 hotels. I'll be going 29May - 02 Jun with 2 teenagers (17 & 19) Which location is better?

Liz · 03-19-2006, 08:24 PM

What other hotel are you looking at?

jwillborn · 03-19-2006, 09:03 PM

No others...just the RUI Cancun or RUI Caribe.
