Riu Dunamar

After a 5 night stay at the resort with our family of 10 (youngest was 17, Oldest mid 60's), here is my takeaway. The staff is beyond friendly & accommodating. This is by far the Cleanest resort I have ever been to. Everything is kept super clean, the rooms, the restaurants, the pools, the bars, the restrooms, the hallways, the outside walkways, the beach & even the flowerbeds & landscaping were always spotless. We never one time felt unsafe even during the private transfer from the airport on Amstar. The rooms were large & comfortable with good AC & a hot shower. Perfect weather. The ocean was amazing & seaweed was not an issue other than on the roughest day there was a little more than usual floating in the water. Plenty of lounge chairs with full sun or palm tree shade. Plenty of crystal clear pools with swim up bars. The nightly shows were entertaining enough. The 1 hour $30 massage on the beach was a bargain. The food was plentiful with a lot of variety but the quality of the food was not what we had hoped for or expected. It was not “cruise ship quality” food. It was edible but not great. As a foodie it was the only disappointment.

The place is beautiful. We have been to over 30 all inclusives and this was one of the best. The place was immaculate, staff was great, 4 pools and a beautiful beach. For the money you can't go wrong. The buffet was very good. We never tried the specialty restaurants.

This place is huge and tooooooo far away from the beach. Do not spend the extra money for Ocean Front view because its about 5 football fields away and you cannot even hear the Ocean. Food was okay but no bathrooms in the Restaurants, you had to walk out of the Restaurant to use one of the others which again was another 100 yards . This place has over 700 rooms its just to big. If you walk down to the beach take your suitcase !!!! its a long walk back if you forget something. As usual staff impeccable and very polite as always in these Resorts . I chose this as it was closest for the Whale Shark dive but that was also disappointing. Do not use Cancun Adventures for this . Go with one of the locals nearby. On a positive note the beach is huge as that is the last Hotel and you can walk for miles. If you like Jet Skis the guys will take you to Isla Mujeres and you now can have fun on a wave runner. Just ask them at the beachfront and not anywhere in the hotel. You will have to rent two as somebody has to be with you but its a fun ride .

I love the RIU! I stayed with them in Jamaica and every vacation I go I try to find one. But this particular place was AMAZING! Beyond everything! I would most definitely be staying here agai! The staff was amazing, the food was good, I stayed 5 days and 4 nights. Getting from the airport to the location pretty far, but rest assure you’ll love it
