Cancún Recommendations

Royalton Riviera is a solid pick for good food, especially at the steakhouse. They have beach volleyball and a bunch of activities going on throughout the day to keep things lively, but it can get busy around holidays, so booking early might help!

The Riu Palace Peninsula has an incredible night view from its rooftop terrace, making it a standout choice. It's also part of the Riu Palace chain, allowing guests to access other Riu Palace resorts and non-Riu Palace ones, including lunch at Riu Caribe.

Beach Palace is great for families. It's a convenient option to get there by shuttle from the airport, and Ubers are readily available for transportation elsewhere.

Riu Cancun is a resort located on the north side of the 7 in the main hotel zone, with a beautiful beach and very light surf. It offers good cocktails, decent food, and is right next to a designated pickup zone for chartered excursions.
