Such an amazing experience! My friends and I enjoyed Riu Palace Kukulkan. From the moment we arrived, the staff and their hospitality were wonderful. Nacho at the front desk was very helpful and check-in was a breeze. The rooms were contemporary and had great amenities. Upgrade to an ocean view - it’s totally worth it! The food was good, although some of the a la carte restaurants are better than others. Our favorites were La Casa de Las Flores (Mexican) and their amazing fish tacos and Sunakku (Japanese). Although, the buffet is really where it’s at. Delicious options, no matter if you’re feeling breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Andrea and Azaheal with the dinner service staff are so nice to talk to and very accommodating. Tell them David, Nicole, and Lydia sent you. This resort has four pools and you will find great service at each other. One of the servers, Armando, is super friendly and always making sure you’re taken care. The beach connects right from the property and a great view of the beautiful blue ocean. The waves were a bit rough, but we swam where we could. You’ll notice lots of seaweed as well, which was a little annoying to deal with. At night, there are some shows but I feel entertainment could be better here. Kareoke night and the Mariachi band were some of our highlights. If you’re looking to pamper yourself a bit, the Renova Spa on-property is fantastic! The staff were wonderful and I had one of the best massages ever. We will be back to stay here again soon!

This resort is very nice. They need to work on the entertainment part. Maybe get a dj for dancing a few nights. People wanted to dance hear some good music. Even the grown and sexy love a good time on the dance floor. But over all it was very nice I'd differently come back.

We’ve been to Cancun 6 times and, by far, Riu Kukulkán was our best experience. The Staff is wonderful. The grounds/pools/beach, are impeccable. The food is awesome.

Beautiful resort! New and the cleanest resort I’ve ever been to. Staff were cleaning and maintaining constantly, tho never disruptive. Excellent service in all areas of the resort. Smaller resort so easy to get to everything. Great food, fun drinks, beautiful grounds. Pools were beautiful, 4 separate areas depending on your desired activity level. Swim up bar pool was a little small, but lots of great spaces to hang out in it. Good variety of restaurants, areas for snacks, several bars, and night time entertainment. No reservations at restaurants which we actually enjoyed, and never had to wait more that 40 minutes which gave us time for a drink before dinner. Beautiful beach, can walk for a long way. Security around resort and at beach. Lifeguards on duty. Used the app to request extra towels in room a few times and service was extremely prompt. We were here for 4 nights, it was the perfect getaway.
