RIU Palace Costa Mujeres

Fully prepared to provide exceptional service to its customers, the RIU Palace Costa Mujeres features four swimming pools, a Jacuzzi®, gym, wellness center and Renova Spa (services at additional cost). Just north of Cancun proper, this resort has the best of both worlds — the away-from-it-all feel of a private beach surrounded by jungle, and the easy commute to bustling Cancun.

The ancient Maya ruins of Chichén Itza are bucket-list worthy.

Top Things to Do Outside Your Resort

Cancun is a mecca for daytrip adventurers and those in search of exciting nightlife. Nearby cenotes make for an enchanting change of pace from pool or beach days at the resort. Ancient Maya ruins like Chichén Itzá and Tulum provide the chance to play archeologist and delve back in time. The countless street markets of Cancun offer an afternoon of colorful perusing and sampling of local flavors. In the evening, the city comes alive with the sound of partying: Legendary bars and nightclubs like Coco Bongo and D’Cave provide goosebump-inducing revelry.
