My friend and I have just returned from a trip to both Riu Caribe in Cancun (5days) and Riu Lupita (7days). After staying at Riu Caribe, Riu Lupita was a huge disappointment. Let me first talk about the positives of Lupita the refrigerator was constantly stocked, nothing to view but vegetation in the back of the building but that was... more

My wife and I never went on any vacation since our wedding back in 1994. We both decided to go to Playa Del Carmen, about 50 mins south of Cancun. We were set up at Hotel Riu Lupita. To sum it up, we had a Fantastic time there. The accomodations were clean, and allways clean. The staff were always kind... more

Well let me start by saying I am a loyal RIU client. I have stayed at many of the other RIU Resorts and the Lupita lived up to what I normally find to be the best. FLIGHT: Our flight from Vancover via Air Transat left on time and took 5hours 30 minutes. No frills with this airline but it works.... more

Overall our stay was great . We stayed in the 2400 block of buildings, no view (except for the dense vegetation) loud AC unit , hard/firm bed but very clean and comfortable room on the 3rd floor. This hotel is much smaller than other Riu's but it has a very nice atmosphere. In-room refrigerator failed on the 3rd day but... more

We selected this Riu hotel because we could not figure out if there was a huge difference between this resort and the other Riu resorts right around that area, so we figured to save the money and go with this resort. This was a major let... more

My husband & I stayed at the Riu Lupita for a weeks vacation. This resort is rated a four star, however we did not feel it should be more than a three. I believe that for the amount of people booking here it has fallen by the way side when it comes the the Riu standards people have come accustomed... more

This is a great little hotel with fantastic staff and a real warm and welcoming feel to it. We went back in 2003 and plan to return with our tow young children once they are a bit older. Rooms were a bit 'tired' but really clean and the food, entertainment, facilities were fabulous. Not many British - a good mix... more
