"The Riu Palace Peninsula exceeded our expectations. Everything was impeccable from beginning to end. The buffet was excellent, with a great variety of food that was constantly being refreshed, so we never felt the need to visit the other restaurants. Our room had been recently renovated and was very well equipped, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. And the views of that incredible Caribbean sea are simply breathtaking, truly one of the highlights of the stay. We highly recommend this hotel. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back. Best, Sandra & Abel"

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing family vacation at Paradisus Cancún and genuinely enjoyed our stay. The property is beautiful, very well maintained, and has great amenities, but what really stood out was the hospitality and service from the staff. A special thank you to Arzle, the Pool Manager, who was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond to make sure our family was taken care of. Hermes, our pool server, was fantastic as well—always attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The Grand Buffet team also deserves recognition for their kindness and wonderful service throughout our stay. Being in the restaurant and hospitality industry myself, I know how much effort goes into creating a memorable guest experience, and I truly appreciated the warmth and professionalism of the team here. We made some great family memories at Paradisus Cancún and would absolutely return. Thank you to the entire team for making our vacation special. See you again soon!"

Live Aqua Cancun - Adults Only - All-Inclusive

8/10 Good
"We stayed here September 5th - 8th. There was 6 of us in 3 rooms (2 per room). The property was clean and sanitary for the duration of our stay. The pools were clean and there was plenty of chair/canopy seating each day. The beach was kept clean (for the most part) of sargassum. There was an incident in the pool on one of the days where a staff member had accepted a gratuity from a patron to keep the music going in the pool past where they had planned to. The patron was highly intoxicated and when they turned the music off he caused a scene. The staff handled the situation appropriately and professionally. The only real complaint I have is that in the evenings there doesn't seem to be many options for food. There were a couple of restaurants open each night but I have stayed in many hotels in Cancun that you have 4-6 options for dinner and it seemed as if there were only 1 or 2 each night. I also didn't really think that a pant requirement to eat at MB is necessary. I get that it is a nicer restaurant, but my khaki golf shorts and polo looked way more professional than what some of the people walking in in jeans looked."
