Upgrade to the new Riu Palace Kukulkan’s exclusive area.

The new oceanfront, adults-only Riu Palace Kukulkan opened in Cancun’s Hotel Zone in November 2022. It offers an all-inclusive experience with the chance to elevate your stay even more with the Elite Club by Riu’s exclusive services. With an ideal location, the property sits directly on the beach and in front of La Isla shopping center, home to restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, when you want to explore beyond the resort. Combining sophistication with relaxation, Riu Palace Kukulkan offers a long list of included dining choices, entertainment, and activities enabling you to make your Mexico vacation your own. It provides the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or a trip with a group of friends 18 and over.

With the new hotel comes new and upgraded features available to all guests. Guest rooms have upgraded bedding and new in-room TV Casting allowing you to stream content from your own device. International dining at the main restaurant with live cooking stations, à la carte Asian, Mexican, and Italian restaurants, and a new Burger bar at the pool are among the culinary options. There is also a 24/7 room service menu including vegetarian choices. Plus, there are snacks, ice creams, and international drinks with top brands that add to the experience.

Guests can enjoy four outdoor swimming pools (one with a swim-up bar) with sun terraces, a fitness center, and daytime entertainment, plus live music, shows, and performances at night. Set aside time for the Renova Spa or nearby golf available for an additional charge. Plus, guests can use the facilities of the seven other RIU hotels in the Cancun area.
