5-star all-inclusive beach resort with 5 swimming pools and a water park in Cancun

Pools & Water Park

The hotel has 5 outdoor swimming pools, including a dedicated activity pool for volleyball and 2 swim-up bars restricted to adults. A shared water park with the neighboring Riu Dunamar offers 4 large water slides, including enclosed tubes and tall, fast slides, closed on Mondays for maintenance. Children have their own water park area, though it is shared between the two hotels and can become crowded.

Dining & Bars

Guests have access to 6 on-site restaurants serving Italian, Japanese, Mexican, steakhouse, fusion, and international cuisine from a buffet. The buffet is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with live cooking stations and theme nights, including prime rib and a carving station. The Capuccino coffee lounge offers specialty coffee drinks, pastries, and ice cream, while the Square Garden piano bar serves premium liquor and cocktails in the evening.

Family & Children

The hotel offers a kids' club, a children's playground, and a children's water park for younger guests. Evening entertainment includes themed dinner nights, a White Party, a Neon party, and a silent disco, all with no reservation required. Table tennis, snorkeling equipment, and kayaks are available on site at no extra cost.

Wellness & Activities

The spa and wellness center provides a steam room, spa facilities, a spa lounge, and wellness packages. The fitness center is equipped with gym equipment, though some machines have been reported non-functional, and the gym is small. Daily activities include yoga, aquafit sessions, and aerobics led by the entertainment staff, plus a golf course and diving excursions off the property.

Beach & Location

The hotel sits on a private beach area with white sand, palm trees, and drink service, though the water can have large waves and sargassum varies by season. The beach is cleaned daily with tractors, and guests can walk the shoreline to the neighboring Riu Dunamar and Riu Latino. The resort is a 30-minute drive from Cancun International Airport and the La Isla Shopping Mall, and a 45- to 60-minute ride by van.

“This property stands out for balancing family entertainment, with its water park and kids' club, and upscale accommodation. Its all-inclusive model simplifies the experience, while on-site dining and recreational activities cater to diverse preferences.

Wonderful Hotel Stay!

helpful staff jet skis excellent service
We enjoyed our stay a lot. The front desk staff was very helpful. Adrian in customer services also assisted. We used the available jet skis. Manuela at the buffet provided amazing service. We really loved the Mexican restaurant. The cleaning service was excellent.
The pools could use more entertainment for children. They struggled to manage sunbeds during peak times. Those sunbeds were very uncomfortable.
