We just got home today after a five night stay. We have stayed at a RIU Resort before and enjoyed it. This being the newest one in Cancun we decided to try. The resort is very small with very little entertainment unless you bus off the resort to the RIU party’s which they promote extensively. The onsite entertainment when they do offer it is unfortunately just not that enjoyable. The bed was extremely uncomfortable and the food was awful all five days. Now to the good parts, Roger at the lounge bar was extremely hospitable and made our stay memorable. He is an asset to this Resort. The pools and the beach area were beautiful, the walking distance to the mall was a huge plus.The property is gorgeous and the overall hospitality was five star worthy if they could improve in a few areas it would be a great place to visit again.

Overall this was a very nice property with outstanding staff, they were very friendly and hospitable. My check in was not a good experience, when I pulled up I had to bring my own bags inside versus bellman being there to help with your bags, there was no welcome drink, the front desk clerk didn’t go over the property with me, the arm band she gave me kept coming off and eventually I had to get a new one. But the Bellmen that help take my bags to the room went over the property with me, gave me a mini tour of my room and the functions. The food could be better, I’ve stayed on plenty of places in Mexico and this one food was subpar. I enjoyed the Mexican and Krystal restaurants. Steakhouse was ok and the Italian was the worse of them all. The bars were nice the food selection at the buffet was good and the drink were top shelf depends on your status. My room was supposed to ocean front but I had a partial view of the oceans but it didn’t bother me too much. The beach couldve been better with the sea kelp, some days they cleaned it up and others days it wasn’t. Please work on the entertainment portion of this resort, it was very lack luster. The party at RIU Carbie was fun but it was promoted was too much and kind of took away from what was happening at Kukulcan. Like I said I enjoyed my stay but this resort could use some improvements.
