Lodges in Mexico and Central America

"This was our second stay at a Riu, and once again, we have no complaints. The hotel is very clean, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful—they truly make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. There was a great variety of food, and everything we tried was delicious. We will definitely be returning to Riu in the future!"

"Staff is great!!"

"Yes"

"Staff and service is 10 food is 10 the only thing is bathroom shower need to be updated rust all over the shower"

"That’s my third time at this hotel coming from Michigan state in USA Why third time ? Here’s the answer Great team Great hotel Great resort Amazing food Clean pool Excellent service Clear beach And I would do it every year till I die."

"The staff was perfect."

"Given the resort’s higher price point, expectations for service were elevated but not consistently met. At check-in, our friends’ reserved room was unavailable, which was especially disappointing as we were celebrating a birthday. The correct room was important for comfort, and while the hotel offered cabanas and restaurant credit, it didn’t fully make up for the inconvenience. They were told they could switch rooms the next day. Food quality was mixed. Room service and poolside dining were good, but the Thursday buffet fell short, with overly fatty, unappetizing tacos. Despite booking an all-inclusive package, certain items like steak at one restaurant and an entire steakhouse came with additional charges, which felt misleading. Dining policies were also inconsistent; although told reservations weren’t accepted, other guests clearly had them, and staff offered little help finding alternatives when restaurants were full, forcing us to dine off property. The pool area was enjoyable with good service, but extra charges for items like coconut water led to confusion due to the room switch, requiring multiple staff interventions to resolve. Entertainment in the lobby lounge was a highlight, with a great DJ and bartenders. Overall, the resort is clean, well-located, and staffed by friendly people, but service inconsistencies, unclear policies, and unexpected extra costs detract from the experience."

"Travelled to Krystal Cancun with my partner and we absolutely loved it. We were just looking for a quiet, relaxing getaway and it worked out. The beach is gorgeous; we found getting there before 9 or after 11 in the morning will get you a seat as they are limited. There was never any issues getting towels. The breakfast buffet was consistent- lunch a la carte was our favourite- dinner buffet was good but the three restaurants were amazing. The room was always made well and the ac kept us cool. This resort is very family friendly and is located on the strip so it was nice to take a walk and explore after dinner. The staff were always glad to help out and had great personalities which was the cherry on top!"

"The bathrooms were always gross and smelly and usually out of toilet paper and covered in pee. And toilet paper all over the ground. Food was very difficult because im allergic to wheat Luis Garcia helped alot but I was glutenized multiple times because nobody understood what I was asking reason we chose here is because they online said you had it having an area with food would be great. They do have gluten-free soya sauce and thickening agent could be Cornstarch. We always had a painter outside our door and now I have paint all over my shoes. We barely had a great sleep because we had laundry going 24/7 so unfair. There were cockroaches in our room eww. The entertainment was boring need better stuff and more of it. I wouldn't return to stay in felt like a burden and was laughed at because of my allergies which are serious. Iam still unwell because of all the gluten i ingested because people told me there wasn't any in i have a mouthful of sores. Also the elevator doors shut on my arm that hurt so bad I almost cried I had a bruise for 7 days and its still bothering me feel like I fractured it. I'll be getting an xray to make sure. Trying to tell staff but language barriers were very difficult"
