Riu Palace Las Americas

Cancun, Cancun and Costa Mujeres · Adults-only (18+) · All-inclusive

Right in the thick of the hotel zone with the Coco Bongo nightclub scene an easy walk away, this is the pick for travelers who want an adults-only all-inclusive without giving up nightlife. Less secluded than the Playa Mujeres properties, and that is the point.

Choosing a room

Entry-level rooms usually share the same inclusions. Higher categories can add views, swim-up access, or club-level perks, so ask what each category includes before paying more. Families should check each category's maximum occupancy.
