I’ve stayed at the Riu in Cancun four times, and unfortunately, each visit seems to get worse. This most recent stay will definitely be my last. The food was extremely disappointing. The Sports Bar food was so salty that it was almost impossible to eat. I mentioned it multiple times, but no one seemed to care or make any effort to improve it. The buffet and other restaurants were also nowhere near the quality I would expect from a resort like this. The service was another major problem. Many staff members seemed willing to help only when they expected a good tip. Otherwise, some were rude and dismissive. What made it even worse was hearing staff members make negative comments about guests in Spanish, apparently assuming we couldn’t understand them. I do understand Spanish, and that was extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. The property itself also had several maintenance issues, including leaks around the resort and even near restaurant and buffet areas. For the amount of money guests pay to stay here, the overall condition, food quality, and level of service are unacceptable. I kept returning because I had good experiences here in the past, but the quality has continued to decline every time I visit. This stay was by far the worst. I will not be returning, and based on my experience, I cannot recommend this hotel.

Overall, we had a good stay at Live Aqua Cancun. We chose it for a relaxing, low-key getaway, and we enjoyed the beautiful resort and had a great experience at the spa. One area that could improve is communication and technology. Since there’s an app, it would be helpful if it showed which food options were currently open and included their menus. There were several times we went looking for food only to find that options weren’t open. The schedule provided at check-in also didn’t always match what was actually available. Also, there was no ICE CREAM at all. 👎 We also didn’t love that the steakhouse had an additional charge at an all-inclusive resort. Pool service could have been better too—we often had to flag someone down for drinks while it seemed like guests with cabanas received more attention. Daytime entertainment seemed geared toward an older crowd, with activities like bingo and crafts. Nothing wrong with that, but we preferred relaxing. One important tip: DECLINE THE PRESENTATION! We were repeatedly told it would only take 45 minutes. It absolutely did not. It took up most of our day, and we felt like we wasted a huge portion of our vacation. Save yourself the time and just say no! Overall, we enjoyed our stay and got the relaxation we were looking for.
