Excellence Riviera Cancun - Adults Only All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"Prior to booking I had issues with getting conflicting payments for ocean front room as I had been recovering from cancer and cannot walk too far to the beach. I talk to the manager once I got there and I was sad because they would not answer their phone prior to the trip and I would always go to voicemai the manager fixed everything for me and checked on me every day and make sure my trip was flawless. I feel so rested and recovered thanks to the empathy of the manager Magali. She made sure she contacted me every day to make sure everything was OK and even saw me when I left to go back to Dallas. The hotel is so clean and beautiful and lots to do the ocean was great the cabana was my best part and the food was amazing at every restaurant that we tried. The staff was amazing as well. Best Trip I've ever taken"
Hotel Riu Palace Kukulkan - Adults Only - All Inclusive
10/10 Excellent
"I spent six nights and seven days on the ninth floor as part of the elite club. Overall, I did feel that the elite club upgrade was worth it. The room was very clean. Housekeeping took care of it every day and did a wonderful job. All of the staff around the property were very kind and helpful. I ate at all of the restaurants and the food was very very good. The buffet breakfast in the morning was excellent. I spent the first day at the swim up bar and it was a little too much for me. I spent the rest of my time at the elite club pool. It was nice to have my own cabana. I am a wine drinker and really the only complaint I can say is that I wish they would stock the refrigerator in the room with bottles of wine instead of soda pop and Coors beer. Who drinks Coors beer?"
Hotel Riu Palace Baja California - Adults Only - All Inclusive
4/10 Poor
"Take into consideration that the access to the beach in front of the hotel is restricted. The closest approved beach (Medano) is a good three blocks walking through the sand. We read in Expedia, the hotel description they paid for transportation. After a call to the hotel the staff confirmed that information. When we arrived at the airport we were met with prepaid hotel transfers only, and no available connection to reserve. We were scared to opt for Uber since our connection was spotty so taxi was the only alternative, an expensive one at that. Be careful with the sales tactics from the airport Time shares. They will lie and assure you they are airport workers and they are there to take you to the transfer station, or any other way they can hook you to their desks. The sales tactics are extremely aggressive to the extent of lying. The staff is very affable and approachable. They were smiling all the time. Our biggest complaint will be the food quality. Our family have been to several RIU in the world and so far this resort offers the worst culinary experience. The pools are big and very clean. The beds are very comfortable. Entertainment was enjoyable and not overwhelming."
