Separate, but close together, the hotel's three main public pools -- infinity, sports, and swimming -- are all located just before the beachfront and surrounded by neatly landscaped grounds. There's even a legit if small archeological site just hanging out by Trinidad, the swim-up pool bar.
Most of the restaurants can be found in restaurant row, along a covered outdoor hallway, making it easy to browse menus or decide where to eat.
The property is big, but doesn't feel overwhelming, and even though there is almost always people milling about wherever you are, it's not chaotic. We also noticed how happy and pleased all the guests seemed -- there was easy mingling in the bar areas, and more than enough loungers at the pool and beach areas. The only time things felt a bit cramped was during a brief downpour when most people flocked to the lobby, particularly to the bar and cafe.
And while there is plenty alcohol flowing at least there was during our stay there didn't seem to be any rowdiness or belligerence, just joviality. Hotel Riu Palace Peninsula is deep into the Hotel Zone -- in fact, almost as far as you can go without starting to loop back around. But, the extra driving time is rewarded; Riu Palace Peninsula has a rare beachfront location, and there are few other hotels in Cancun that can claim ownership of both soft sands and rocky shores. Because of the hotel's location around KM 5.
Mostly hotels line the beachfront side of the strip, so you'll have easier access read: no out-of-the-way U-turns to make to the shopping plazas, tour providers, and restaurants, since you'll be driving on the same side of the loop.
Luckily the end-of-the-line Hotel Zone location doesn't add time to any self-driven day trips heading toward Tulum just under two hours , Coba two-and-a-half hours , or Chichten Itza two-and-a-half hours.
The Riu's simple, but chic and contemporary rooms are large and upscale. Thanks to stark white walls, glossy white furniture, and contemporary artwork one might expect to see in a spa, decor is slightly reminiscent of the '80s. However, in the bathrooms, the black marble tubs, walk-in showers, and vanity area with double bowl sinks help give a modern luxurious feel. All rooms have ocean views, so guests can expect to see turquoise sea waters glittering through the floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors.
Minibars are untraditional but typical for the Riu brand , trading airplane-sized bottles of booze for a full-on and locked cabinet of top-shelf liquors equipped with convenient spouts.
Mixers are in the mini-fridges. In addition, all rooms have flat-screen TVs with international channels, a wide range of toiletries including conditioner! Upgrades in the main building will get guests more room, as well as a whirlpool spa out on the terrace. The adult-only villas have bathrobes and slippers, bidets, lounge space, and outdoor whirlpool tubs.
Since Cancun is a tropical destination overflowing with miles of gorgeous Caribbean sea and beachfront, there's no questioning why most of Riu Peninsula's features are set outdoors. The beach is split into two sections: a sugar-sand beach punctuated with palm trees, loungers, and cabanas; and a rocky shoreline complete with crashing waves and natural vibe.
There is a wide selection of pools including an infinity pool, sport activity pool with volleyball and basketball nets, swimming pool which often has kids in it , and both an adult-only pool located in the Villas area and kids' pool at RiuLand. In addition to live shows in the lounge-y outdoor, but covered, theater space, there's a fully outdoor stage that hosts live music performances to kick off the night. Karaoke is also offered in the sports bar. Aerial view. Pool area, courtesy Judy Simon on Pinterest.
