Alright let's begin with the video!
Location 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.
The 30-minute drive from Cancun Airport to Riu Palace Peninsula may feel a little longer
thanks to Boulevard Kukulkan traffic. 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 5.5, getting to the bumping nightlife hotspot of central Cancun only takes a 10-minute
car ride. Most 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 Chichen Itza (two-and-a-half hours).
Rooms The Riu's 562 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, the 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!), and private ocean-facing outdoor spaces. 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.
Drinks There's no lack of bars at the Riu. From the
classy ocean-view lobby bar with nightly piano player, to the 24-hour Sports Bar, to the
swim-up pool bar, Riu keeps your whistle wet. While Sports Bar, filled with live sports
games on screens, pool tables, and video games, may be the only joint open 24-hours, most
other bars on the property open at 10 a.m. and close around midnight. Outdoor watering
holes include Trinidad, the swim-up pool bar that also has a covered landlocked section
with seating, and Tobago, the beach bar. At night Tobago transforms into a romantic beachside
lounge spot with soft lighting, cabanas, and lounge areas -- although it's usually fairly
empty as people tend to stick around La Plaza or La Latino, the two bars flanking the theater,
or inside the snazzy lobby bar, Cabanga.
Food All in all there are nine restaurants: two
buffets; an adult-only restaurant (only for those staying in the Villas); and five specialty
restaurants with fantastic decor and impressive menus (Mexican, Japanese, gourmet fusion,
a steakhouse, and Italian). The buffet restaurants (Las Olas, and Isla Mujeres, which turns into
the steakhouse at night) have a wide variety of food and can cater to special diets. Venecia
is also open for lunch and features a small Italian-themed lunch buffet. Grab-and-go snacks
like hot dogs and packaged sandwiches are available at the 24-hour Sports Bar, and coffee
shop bites (including ice cream!) can be found in Capuchino just off the lobby. But, if you
can't manage to get out of your in-room spa bathtub, room service is available around
the clock.
Spa The
hotel also has an onsite spa! Renova SPA has massage and treatment rooms
and couples treatment rooms. Massages are available on the beach and in the spa; other
services include facials, body wraps, and body scrubs. The spa is equipped with a spa
tub and a steam room.
Pools 5 outdoor swimming pools are on site along
with a spa tub. The pools are the best spot to enjoy your meals as well!
Consider taking a dip at one of the five best outdoor swimming pools! Or sunbathe at one
of them with spectacular views of the resort!
Features Getting fit in your holidays is possible with
the gym, sport activities, volleyball, and also water sports such as kayaking and snorkeling.
The RiuLand program would take care of the little members of the family with plenty of
amusement activities during the day. Adults won't feel bored thanks to the live shows,
music, and other entertainment during the day and night.
If you are looking for relaxation and tranquility, the Adults Only Deluxe Villas, being an ADULTS
ONLY area, exclusively for adults over 18, has the best facilities for their hosts.
In the surroundings of Cancun are natural spaces and heavenly beaches. You just can
not miss the most popular visit to Cancun, "Chichén Itzá" the fantastic maya ruins
or Isla Mujeres to see the protection and reproduction of the turtles. Visiting the
different museums with the history of this region or climbing up the scenic tower to
enjoy some unbeatable colorful views of the city and coast is just the beginning of these
unforgettable holidays. All this contributes to Cancun being an incomparable
destination. Enjoy the best offers of Mexico and spend some relaxing time at the hotel.
