Most Caribbean and Mexico properties operate as 24-hour all-inclusive resorts.
What is Riu Elite Club?
Riu Elite Club (also called Elite Service by Riu) is a premium upgrade available at select Riu properties. It typically includes preferred room locations, access to an exclusive Elite Club restaurant and reserved bar/pool/beach areas, premium in-room liquor and minibar options, guaranteed late checkout, and priority check-in.
What is included in a Riu all-inclusive resort?
Riu all-inclusive packages generally include unlimited meals at buffet and à la carte restaurants, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, daily and nightly entertainment, non-motorized water sports, and access to pools and fitness facilities. Inclusions vary slightly by property and tier (standard Riu vs. Riu Palace).
Is Riu Palace Tropical Bay adults-only?
No — Riu Palace Tropical Bay in Negril, Jamaica is family-friendly, not adults-only. Guests looking for an adults-only Riu experience in Jamaica should look at Riu Reggae in Montego Bay instead.
What is Riu Splash Water World?
Splash Water World is Riu’s on-site water park concept, featured at select resorts including Riu Palace Punta Cana, Riu Bambu, and Riu Republica (the Caribbean’s only adults-only water park). It includes waterslides and dedicated activity pools for guests of all ages, where available.
How far is Riu Dunamar from Cancún Airport?
Riu Dunamar in Costa Mujeres is approximately 35 km (22 miles) from Cancún International Airport, roughly a 45–50 minute drive. Because Costa Mujeres sits north of the main hotel zone, private transfer is the standard way to reach the resort.
