"Most amazing resort I’ve ever been too! The staff is incredible, the resort itself is STUNNING. So many activities to do, you will never be bored! I’m already booking my next trip to come back in March. "

"This place so nice and clean. It was great vibes and the staff were very friendly and helpful ."

"Room was spotless food was great and the staff were amazing!"

"Our trip to the Riu Palace Kukulkan was amazing. My wife and I stayed for six nights. Here is how we felt about everything: The room- we had a jr. suite ocean view. The view wasn’t the best as we were on the first floor for rooms and the roof of the lobby obstructed some of our view. We upgraded to elite club halfway through our trip and the 3rd floor ocean view was amazing. The rooms themselves were spotless, modern, and had the most amazing shower. Housekeeping was always very timely and responsive to any needs that arose. The food: The food was great! The elite club restaurant, steakhouse, and Asian were our favorites. We ate at the breakfast buffet every morning. There were many options and food was always fresh. Pools/Beach: There were 4 pools: one had a quite vibe, the next was an activities pool, the next had the swim up bar, and the final one was for elite club guests, and was pretty quiet. The beach was pristine and weather conditions permitting, great for swimming as well. Service: the staff is amazing! Rubi made sure we had a constant supply of snacks and drinks when we were at Daiquiri bar. Staff interactions were always wonderful and they went out of their way to be helpful. Activities: their evening programming was very good. They also have parties free of charge that you can attend at the nearby Riu Caribe. As far as programming at kukuklan, my wife and I enjoyed the silent disco, and the live singers on different nights were good as well. "

"The property and staff were outstanding. I would highly recommend this resort."

"Overall a good resort experience. The room is decent with several eating options nearby. There are convenient stores in walking distance and easy to drive around in the resort area. The beach there is pretty and convenient. There’s a safe and clean area to play in the sea even though the waves are strong most of the days. The pools are easy to use and you can participate their pool dance event every noon. They also have different events each night for public. We got free breakfast buffet and the food is good. Just try to get up early and avoid weekends to avoid the long line. The main Italian restaurant in the resort is ok but slow so I recommend to eat outside. We ate twice at a restaurant called Xkat-Ik. Highly recommended. It’s across the main road from the hotel and they have some nice pet iguanas."
