Hi Andrew and Mona, great teamwork as usual. That is a great idea that this property has a late breakfast table. Andrew, once again, great attention to accessibility!
I’m leaning towards Cancun bc it’s right in the main entertainment district of Cancun.. but Caribe is great too and has been updated, so newer rooms and amenities
DEAR WHERE WE GOING NEXT, HAPPY NEW YEAR. GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. I LOVE CANCUN. 🙏 SINCERELY PETER
It depends 🤷🏼♀️ the Caribe is a newer and nicer, but farther from the main Cancun strip - and the Cancun is right in the action, but is older and dated 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you, appreciate your wonderful tour. Have a question I notice the attire signs for the restaurants. I wonder if there any restaurants that need formal attire or book in?
No we don’t see this enforced at all. Men wear nice shorts and flip flops/ sandals and they’re fine 👍🏻 I think they just don’t want you wearing beach wear.
@@Randy-Snorton no cap Randy, 20 lads, shut every club down too. Coco bongo, la vaquita, Mandela beach, and pasha which inside the hotel. Clearly you’ve never been
Hi, can ypu share how do you commute from airport to riu cancun for a pack of 10(5 adults & 5 children)? I heard some negotiate with u but then bring you to a timeshare seminar first before taking u to your hotel, isn't that a scam?
We’ve used Canada Transfers to shuttle us from the airport (Google them and you can book it online) or if you book a vacation “package” through Expedia or TripCentral, you will have transportation included in the package price (a large coach bus will transport you to your hotel)
wow, it looks pretty nice, I am looking for a place in the hotel zone for a Dental vacation stay, looking at all inclusive as I don't want to hunt for food, not sure what I will be able to eat. probably won't be drinking much either. Just going to chill on the beach or near it to recover. I have looked into this place. I own a Travel agency and their agency rates were actually the same or more than what I can get retail on my own as a regular customer :-( I will be filming the experience so what every hotel I can get will get free promos lol.
It’s technically a family resort, but it definitely attracts a party crowd. I wouldn’t say there’s anything geared at teenagers specifically, but I’m sure she’d have a good time 🤷🏼♀️
Hello Andrew superb videos. my adult son and I going to Cancun in late Oct - Nov for 8days Need to decide between BP Akumal Riu palace and Barcelo palace Rivera maya Priory is food quality and choice and pools service is good Would appreciate your help also consider the price difference thanks
If food choice is a priority and pool service is a priority, we recommend the RIU Palace Riviera Maya. 👍🏻 the prices fluctuate so it’s hard to compare. 🤷🏼♀️
Thank you very much Andrew from a fellow Canadian I would like to stay away from Cancun and considering Riu palace in RM or CM Any advice on which one I read in reviews food in CM is better
They are both kind of party resorts. If I had to choose I would say Caribe, bc it’s been newly refurbished and has nicer rooms and amenities. I would also suggest looking at Riu Palace Peninsula - a great family resort and great beach 👍🏻
@@WherewegoingNext : I’m sorry, I thought you were guests of the hotel. I'm surprised they let you move around in their hotel. Resorts at the hotel zone are so strict. I'm in Cancun now, when I went to one resort near Coco Bongo, they almost attacked me like I was going to take advantage of the resort for free.
No, we were staying at the RIU Palace Peninsula- so that gave us access to the other RIUs in the area. We asked for access to the rooms, but they didn’t seem to want the marketing 👀🤷🏼♀️
@@WherewegoingNext did RIU Peninsula provide free transportation from RIU Peninsula/RIU Caribe to RIU Cancun to use their facilities? Any idea if they do it later in to the night to attend the shows/Pacha disco at RIU Cancun?
Great Video
Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU THANK YOU for pointing out it the accessibility!!!!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching 😊
Me and two buddies just booked 5days here can’t wait to soak up some sun eat some good food and relax!
Awesome, have fun! 🙌🏻
Hi Andrew and Mona, great teamwork as usual. That is a great idea that this property has a late breakfast table. Andrew, once again, great attention to accessibility!
Thanks David! We try our best to provide valuable information 😊
Exellend video!!😊
Thanks for watching!
Great tour! 😊👍
Have an unusual question. Do they ever get any large spiders in the bedrooms or shower?
Thanks.
We can’t confirm bc we’ve never stayed here - but out of all the resorts we’ve visited in Mexico, we’ve never had a spider in our room or shower
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
I’m flying there in 1 week! Wanted to do Palace but only going for 4days for a solo getaway so decided on this one.
Have a great time!
Oh wow thanks so much! I just subscribed…
We appreciate you 🙏🏻☺️
How was it?
I truly enjoyed the trip… The weather was perfect and the pool was jumping as well. They have a sport bars that is fun and a club.
great video ;)
Thanks for watching!
Roll on June , 1st time going trans Atlantic, lads at work recommended this hotel
Enjoy your trip!
How was it?
Would you recommend RIU Cancún or Caribe for three guys in their twenties looking for a great crowd and party scene.
I’m leaning towards Cancun bc it’s right in the main entertainment district of Cancun.. but Caribe is great too and has been updated, so newer rooms and amenities
Great reviews
Looking for a good riu hotel,would you recommend palace las Americas due to the fact that you can use riu cancun aswell?
Yes! It’s a great resort!
Is there music played everyday etc like I’m looking go august is it worth a group of lads going
Yes 👍🏻 this place has a great party vibe 🙌🏻
We going in 5 weeks just wondering is there loud music at night time ? Ie are the rooms quite?
Sorry, we haven’t stayed here - we just toured the property 🤷🏼♀️
Riu Cancún or Riu Yucatán? Watched both of your videos but not sure which one to go to 😭
Riu Cancun is more of a party vibe and is right in the main Cancun hotel zone, so close to all the action. Yukatan is further south and more chill.
When is the video of the buffet and food selection coming 😂 I love food I’ve been to this hotel twice it’s fantastic
It will be posted in the coming weeks! Stay tuned!
@@WherewegoingNext great thank you! I’m going back to that hotel on the 29th of may :)
Have a great trip!
How is Buffett is it breakfast lunch dinner only asking I went to secrets the vibe and hated it no dinner buffet to fancy hated it
They have the buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner - and it’s casual 👍🏻
I coming soon...last year I was riu palace riviera maya
Have a good trip!
@@WherewegoingNext thanks
I’m debating between the two. Group of 14 from 5 - 77. Which is better for us?
Riu Cancun is a bit dated and more of a party resort. RP Riviera Maya is newer looking and more relaxed/low key.
Can you book excursions once you arrive to the resort?
Yes 👍🏻
DEAR WHERE WE GOING NEXT,
HAPPY NEW YEAR.
GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIENDS. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. I LOVE CANCUN. 🙏

Me & my wife met the mascot this past week, his name is Luli.
Are there nightly club parties held there?
Yup 👍🏻
I have watched both of your videos, riu cancun and riu caribe, which one would.you recommend? I am a solo female traveller.
It depends 🤷🏼♀️ the Caribe is a newer and nicer, but farther from the main Cancun strip - and the Cancun is right in the action, but is older and dated 🤷🏼♀️
Hi, can you suggest a good hotel that's also enjoyable and fun friendly for kid? Thanks!
Bahia principe Tulum, Riu Palace Costa Mujeres, planet Hollywood, Bahia principe Coba 👍🏻
hi sorry it doesnt look like there are any swim up bars in this hotel.. is this the case ?
Yes there is a swim-up bar👍🏻
Thanks for the video ... Would you prefer this or the riu palace?
We prefer the RIU Palaces - they tend to have better restaurants and rooms
Thank you, appreciate your wonderful tour. Have a question I notice the attire signs for the restaurants. I wonder if there any restaurants that need formal attire or book in?
No we don’t see this enforced at all. Men wear nice shorts and flip flops/ sandals and they’re fine 👍🏻 I think they just don’t want you wearing beach wear.
In July it is recommended
👍🏻
Just came back from a stag do/bachelor party, a group of 20 of us, we brought the vibes they loved us. And we shutdown every club
Amazing!!
@@WherewegoingNext best place I’ve been to

@@iskk9037 no I haven’t I’m going in September but unless you were being knobheads I fail to see why they’re going to close the clubs

Hi buddy what rui do u suggest we want spend new year eve in cancun, we have 30/37 y/o and we would have fun. Let me know please we trust in you
Riu Cancun is a good choice 👍🏻
Great informative video. It says in the brochure that it has a nightclub ( pascha ) did you find this ?? Was it open ??
We weren’t there in the evening, but yes they have one and yes it’s open 👍🏻
@@WherewegoingNext thank you for replying. Happy travels 😁
Thanks u too!
At 19:15 you can see it.
is there any jet skis on site?
There might be vendors on the beach with jet skis 🤔🤷🏼♀️
How was the air conditioning?
As far as the main areas go, it was great 👌🏻 the rooms should all be good as well, but can’t speak for them all 🤷🏼♀️

You going back to Riu Palace Riviera Maya this year for an update?
Sorry, we don’t think so. 🤷🏼♀️
Hi there . I love your videos. I am from europe and inwas wndering would you recommend to get pesos or usa dollars ? Greetings.
Most tourists tip in USD
What was the schedule of the gym?
It usually opens around 7 or 8 am and closes around 8pm.. but it can change 🤷🏼♀️
Can i ask my daughter wil be 15 is it geared towards teenagers to .
It’s technically a family resort, but it definitely attracts a party crowd. I wouldn’t say there’s anything geared at teenagers specifically, but I’m sure she’d have a good time 🤷🏼♀️
Hi,
is this resort a good option for kids ?
I would say it’s more geared to young adults - it has a party atmosphere
Sorry meant assuming service level is good in all preferred resorts
how's the night life and theme parties.
We haven’t been to a RIU Party at this hotel, but at the RIU Santa Fe and it was super fun!
Would you say to stay here or royalton chic?
We’ve never been to the Royalton - but we passed by and it looked really cool and modern 👀

Are you referring to RIU Palace Costa Mujeres? Sorry, we’ve never been to that one 🤷🏼♀️
Yes I was thanks for the response
You know if all rooms are see view ?
Yes I believe they are 👍🏻 the higher floors will have better views of course 👌🏻
Was there a club on the resort
Yes 👍🏻
Was there a bunch of kids there?
Yeah we saw some - but overall, this resort attracts young adults who want a lively, party atmosphere
Would you stay at RIU Palace for a little more money or RIU Cancun?
We like the RIU Palace Las Americas bc it’s a bit quieter 🤷🏼♀️
Can you visit these restaurants as many times as you want on all inclusive?
Yes 👍🏻
Calu is the name of the Turtle.
Oh, thanks for sharing!
Not downtown Cancun. Downtown of the hotel zone.
Right - that’s what we meant 🤷🏼♀️
Riu cancun or riu caribe? Family with teenagers. Not really into parties..
They are both kind of party resorts. If I had to choose I would say Caribe, bc it’s been newly refurbished and has nicer rooms and amenities. I would also suggest looking at Riu Palace Peninsula - a great family resort and great beach 👍🏻
29-minute video and no view of the room?
We didn’t get access to the rooms 🤷🏼♀️

Doesn't seem the best for young kids. Like where's the splash pad?
No, this is more of a party hotel
this is not a all-inclusive resort
🤔
Gym really stinks
🤷🏼♀️
