What We Love

  • You’re close to the Cancun Hotel Zone's shops, eats and clubs.
  • Enjoy a free scuba lesson in the pool. 
  • At Los Arcos, you can get both Italian and Brazilian tapas.

Things to Know

  • You have access to the great amenities at nearby sister resorts.
  • Gaze in awe at the pyramids of Kukulhan in Chechen Itza. Bring some sturdy shoes.
  • Maximize your vacay hours by checking pick-up times on scheduled transfers.
Located in the heart of the Cancun Hotel Zone Riu Palace Las Americas has it all. At this all-inclusive resort, you’re walking distance from shopping, nosh spots and nightlife, with Caracol Beach nearby for daytime relaxation. Another perk? The resort is adults-only.

All-inclusive means a stress-free getaway: drinks, food and activities are all included in the price of your vacay! After enjoying the hotel zone, rest up for nighttime karaoke where you can channel your inner rock star. Relax in your room and order 24-hour room service or dine at one of the resort’s delicious restaurants with specialty dishes. Since you’re in the heart of Cancun, go for an excursion to the pyramids of Kukulkán in Chichen Itzá or the turtle conservation center on Isla Mujeres for an adventure. At Riu Palace Las Americas you won’t have to worry about planning your time away. Your only responsibility is to show up and have fun.

    Amazing venue, amenities and service!

    I had a wonderful time at Riu Palace Las Americas, and would definitely stay there again! The campus was very clean, and the staff worked hard to provide the best stay possible. The food was amazing! My favorite restaurant was the Italiano and the Lamb Chops. So Good! The bartenders were great. The pools were very nice and the access to the open water. Amazing

    Absolute paradise

    I have always wanted to visit Cancun and I can't imagine staying at a place more beautiful than Palace Las Americas. The building and grounds are simply gorgeous/breathtaking. The staff was very kind and every single area you walk into was spotless. This resort had a good mixture of different age groups. The entertainment each night was very good. I will definitely be back!

    Adults Only Fun and Friendly Resort

    I loved my stay at this property. It was in a great location. The Beach was very nice. We loved the free transfer to the RIU properties! The hotel and room were very clean. The food that we did had was all very good. The only thing about this hotel and I have been to a lot of properties both RIU and competitors is that they need to do a soft upgrade to the rooms. Change out the pink decor and go more modern!
