RIU Hotels & Resorts offers a large selection of all-inclusive properties on the stunning beaches of Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and Spain. The upfront rate includes your accommodations, meals, beverages, activities, entertainment and nonmotorized water sports.
You can go kayaking and snorkeling, lounge by a glittering pool, soak in the fun at Splash Water World park, get a spa treatment, try a variety of dining venues (dinner reservations are not needed in the specialty restaurants) or dance to the rhythm of top DJs at "RIU Party." And there's always an inviting beach just steps away. Often three or four RIU properties are together in one large complex, where guests enjoy exchange privileges at the sister resorts.
The brand's iconic 5-star Riu Palace Peninsula in Cancun has been fully transformed. After this summer's reopening, guests can enjoy redesigned rooms and savor new dining options (including an ice cream parlor). The property also introduced Elite Club by RIU, an adults-only premium experience with an exclusive restaurant, bar and swimming pool -- some Elite Club rooms have a private pool.
Riu Palace Mexico, a popular 4.5-star resort in Riviera Maya, is scheduled to reopen later this month following a complete renovation of its rooms and public spaces. The hotel will become an adults-only oasis with a brand-new spa, a vibrant sports bar and Elite Club by RIU, featuring VIP rooms, an exclusive pool and a private restaurant.
In the Caribbean, the 5-star Riu Palace Aruba reopened last month following a major renovation. The family-friendly resort promises the same island vibe with a whole new look. Guest rooms were modernized, new restaurants were opened and the Elite Club by RIU was added, offering exclusive areas and premium amenities in an adults-only section.
