Our October Cancun Vacation
Cancun is one of the most popular travel destinations! Thanks to Cancun’s all-inclusive resorts with their amazing white sand beaches and gorgeous turquoise waters. Cancun is a fantastic vacation destination for people who are wanting to relax on the beach, enjoy great weather, or people who are looking for adults only resorts as well. Cancun has plenty of luxury resorts and budget friendly resorts that cater to every traveler’s need. Less than 15 miles to downtown Cancun and 30-45 minutes to any of the Riviera Maya resorts is only a short drive. Cancun also has an abundance of things to do ranging from snorkeling to scuba diving, ziplining through the rainforest canopy, catching waves on Cancun’s famous surf breaks.
We chose to stay at the Riu Latino Adult Only All-Inclusive Resort. The resort was opened in 2022 and houses 594 rooms, they do have swim-up suites as well. This resort is also beach front which includes free sun loungers on the beach. It has 3 swimming pools with an additional 2 with swim up bars. It also has the “Splash Water World” water park with different water slides. Guests must be a height of 3.9 ft tall to be admitted. This brand of resorts, have an app where you can request what you would like in your minibar, you can also check-in in advance online, as well as see the events scheduled, and the menus to the restaurants, as well as the times they open and close.
The hotel offers an assortment of food choices. The food was a hit or miss, so not necessarily a reason to book this resort. They have a Steakhouse which was our favorite during our stay. They do have a sports bar that is open 24/7 where you can get burgers, nachos, hot dogs, and sandwiches for a late-night snack. You do not have to have a reservation at the a la carte restaurants but it is recommended to reserve on the app. The main buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner had a fantastic variety of fresh dishes to choose from. They also have a Pepe’s taco bar by the pool. You will find hot dogs, hamburgers, tacos, pizza and other small snack items. The Asian restaurant is a specialty buffet of a mix of Sushi and Chinese food. The Italian restaurant includes a self-service salad and appetizer bar. They do have an open-air romantic dinner which is an additional charge.
As far as entertainment goes, there are nightly shows and gatherings on the stage. You can expect things like dance shows, live bands, karaoke, and silent discos! Daytime entertainment programs are available as well. You have free entry to the discotheque and drinks which is open 6 nights a week. You can also go to Riu Dunamar for the “Riu Party” themed parties which includes transportation once a week, or Riu Caribe for Monday through Friday. There are other activities such as golf, scuba diving, and scuba diving school. Some smaller activities include cornhole and darts.
They do have a spa on site which has a variety of treatments, beauty salon, hairdresser, and massages at an additional charge. Free gym, steam bath and 2 relaxation pools. They also have stretching and yoga classes as well.
From a handicapped travelers’ standpoint, the resort is very easily accessible to get around with a mobility scooter. The room was huge with lots of room to navigate. The resort also has plenty of ramps across the resort.
We booked a Standard Room, courtyard view. The room was spacious, with double sinks, and an enclosed toilet room. They also include a bathrobe for each guest to have during their stay. In our room, we also had a mini bar and mini fridge stocked with liquor, beer, and sodas. We also had a spacious balcony with a seating area, and a place to hang our bathing suits and towels to dry.
Overall, the resort was great! Other than Hurricane Milton interrupting our stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
