Riu Palace Peninsula Resort: Cancun Nightlife and Carefree, Kid-Friendly Fun

Explore the delectable delights of the Caribbean at one of Mexico's newest resorts. Powdery sand and warm, clear water await you at Riu Palace Peninsula Resort in Cancun. Surrounded by island flora and fauna, the resort is a laid-back paradise that offers fantastic tropical family getaways. From RiuLand kids' club to Riu's evening entertainment program, the resort ensures maximum chill with a plethora of activities and amenities sure to fit the whole family.

When you're ready to hit the beach, grab some sunscreen and make your way to the palm-fringed seaside. Thirsty? Grab a drink from the beach bar, Tobago. Thirsty for fun? Try complimentary windsurfing, kayaking and snorkeling, or take the party to the pool for a free introductory scuba lesson. Afterward, relax on a pool lounger by one of the four on-site pools for some much deserved R&R. A swim-up bar is on hand when you crave a frosty drink.

After splashing your way to an appetite, make for one of six tasty dining options on-site. When a quick, casual meal is what you need, check out the goods at Las Olas, the hotel's main buffet. Stop by Tamales when you're in the mood for authentic Mexican spices. For a juicy steak or other grilled specialties, poolside Isla Mujeres is the place to be. And if you just want a tasty treat--you are on vacation, after all--the ice cream parlor, Capuchino, can cool you off with a sweet snack.

Don't let the good vibes go when energetic youngsters get antsy. Instead, drop children ages 4-12 off at RiuLand and head straight to the resort's brand-new Renova Spa. A trip to the beauty salon gets you refreshed and ready to strut your stuff along the shore. Or, indulge in a relaxing massage to keep you in the island frame of mind.

As the sun sets, start the evening smoothly with a cocktail from the daily refreshed mini bar in your spacious Junior Suite Superior Ocean View room. When you're ready, let your hair down and enjoy the live music and theme shows that make up the exciting nightlife at Riu Palace Peninsula.
