Hotel Riu Latino 5*

It won’t let me post the month we went. It was March 2025. This resort is absolutely beautiful and perfect. The grounds are not too big that you have to take some kind of cart to get anywhere. Any of the restaurants that we went to were delicious and we did not have to make any reservations. The buffet always had something different. The various pools provided a spot depending on our moods. There’s party pools and quiet pools. The restaurant in the pool area was also very good and served the basics. We had no issues with the beach and while we were there, they extended the pathway to the beach so you don’t have to walk so much in the sand. Also, there are servers who come down to the beach with a variety of drinks and if you want something specific, they will come back with it. The rooms were perfect. They were clean and had everything we needed along with a very comfortable bed. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff is. They are very friendly and very accommodating. Be aware for the foam party and the white party, it is off resort with transportation provided. We always vacation in Cuba but due to what is happening there we did our research and decided on this resort and have absolutely no regrets. So much so that we booked for March 2026. We can’t wait to go back.

Just Returned from a 5 day getaway with my husband at Riu Latino. It was a beautiful property in Costa Mujeres, just north of Cancun. The ride from Cancun airport was about 40 minutes to the resort. Check in was easy and not busy in the lobby. We were greeted with a refreshing mimosa as we were checking in. This resort was very nice, and the grounds were immaculate as all Riu properties. I’ve stayed at over 10 RIU properties and Latino is ranked high on my list especially not being a palace. We had a frontal ocean view suite. The view was amazing. The food was delicious and fresh, I never have complaints about the food at Riu resorts. They have 5 pools and the activities were fun, the beach is a longer stretch than usual but it’s still walking distance as a beachfront. I enjoyed the spa with a really relaxing deep tissue massage by Melba. I loved that is was adult only but I can honesty say it catered to “Younger adult” crowd. We are in our 50’s but it was still a great time. The shows were typical entertainment from RIU. I do highly recommend.
