Riu Palace Costa Mujeres
Sadly, we had been solely capable of expertise Riu Palace Costa Mujeres resort for one night time. We tried to expertise as a lot as doable, however clearly couldn’t do all of it.
Rooms
I favored our room. Although the room was the smallest one we stayed in whereas on our journey, we had loads of room. My solely criticism could be it being too open. Depending on the ages of your youngsters this won’t be a problem. But I’ve obtained teenagers they usually want a little bit of privateness. A tub out within the open simply isn’t going to work for our household. Eden and I did use it to sizzling tub in. ???? If you might be touring with teenagers, you may want a second room, due to the toilet scenario. The bathroom is separated from the room, as is the bathe. Unlike the opposite resort this one has conditioner.
Pools
Riu Palace Costa Mujeres has 5 swimming swimming pools, two with swim up bars. Several of the swimming pools have format chairs within the pool. Having loungers within the pool is certainly one of my favourite issues. I discover it a perfect technique to spend the day.
FYI: The bloody Mary’s on the swim up bar are simply okay, which I wasn’t too stunned about. They will not be spicy sufficient, I must have heartburn all day or it’s simply not spicy sufficient. Get a Pina Colada as a substitute.
Beach
According to many opinions I learn this can be a phenomenal seashore. It was fairly good once we had been there, however it was extraordinarily windy. The waves had been nice for boogie boarding. They do provide some wait service down on the seashore. The web site says that there are hammocks down there, however I noticed none.
We ended up heading again as much as the pool to flee the wind. The wifi did work on the seashore for us and on the pool.

Buffet: We beloved the buffet right here. They buffet restaurant is totally huge. The solely factor you can’t get on the buffet is cocktails, it’s beer, wine, and champagne solely. However, through the breakfast buffet, there’s a make your personal Bloody Mary or Mimosa bar. You should eat right here at the very least as soon as for every meal of the day.
Mexicano Zarape: The different place we beloved consuming was the Mexican specialty restaurant. It begins with a buffet of appetizers after which your selection of predominant course and dessert. All our meals was fantastic. The quesadillas on the buffet had been the very best I’ve ever had! They are solely open through the night from 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM.
Bar Pasteleria: This is a cappuccino bar opens up at 7:00 AM and for these dying for espresso within the morning like me this place is a should. I ordered two vanilla lattes at a time, as a result of the resort is sort of unfold out and I didn’t need to should stroll all the way in which again only for a second cup. I heard folks ordering every kind of varied espresso creations they usually appeared to have the ability to accommodate any request.

Location
Now this location will finally be epic, however proper now, not a lot. I suppose, I may gloss it over, however the location is 40-60 north of Cancun. Currently, there’s nothing round besides just a few different accommodations. This is why you might be seeing epic offers to fly down and keep right here. I noticed one the opposite day that was $599 from Houston to remain at Riu Dunamar. As quickly as I noticed that it was a take care of Riu, I knew it needed to be certainly one of these two properties out at Costa Mujeres.
I extremely advocate renting a automobile if you’re staying right here. If you might be planning on doing varied excursions you’ll spend hours and hours on a bus. Save your self the effort by renting a automobile. This complete space is straightforward to drive round in. Get a Cancun automobile rental for $11 a day!
