Great Hotel Nice folks, excellent amenities...just would have preferred to be on beach.

Date of Stay: February, 2007
We stayed two weeks. Met wonderful people from France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. The resort is perfect, a warm cozy atmosphere. You can walk to Playa, and the othere Riu in under 1/2 hour. All the staff was helpful and friendly. Recommend it to anyone.

The Riu Lupita is a small family friendly hotel. This hotel is not on the beach, there is transportation to their beach club every half hour. There is animation around the pool all day and at one occasion during the week, the animation team do a beach party at the hotel beach club. I have to say the food was very good. There is only a buffet retaurant and only 1 a la carte estaurant. Unfortunitly both are open, so no air conditioning...last stay in june was very very uncomfortable at lunch and diner because of the hot weather. Bedrooms are very small and old. Bathroom is really tiny. Nignt shows are ok. some good some just ok.

The staff is truly the best part of the Riu Lupita. The rooms were nice and the food was good. Not on a beach but a efficient shuttle takes you to a quiet beach club and you also have access to the beaches at the other Rius

Date of Stay: May, 2008
The stay was merely satisfactory. We had to wait almost an hour for the buffet to be replenished. I also found hair fried into the bacon duing breakfast. The front staff's response was, Oh sorry about that!

We stayed 4 nights here and then 4 nights at an entirely different hotel in Cancun. We would definitely go back to Riu Lupita. It had a very friendly ambiance as one walks outside to all the amenities, and all the dining facilities are outside too. It is modest and not very fancy, but this was fine with us. I was impressed with the food selection and the entertainment every night was great. A shuttle takes guests to the downtown area or the beach or near one of their other hotels every half hour. This actually became fun to explore other areas. One felt a part of a private community and we got to know quite a few of the other guests who tended to be from all over the world.

riu lupita is in a good location to shopping and they make it very easy to get to the beach and other areas in the surrounding area. it is less expensive than the other riu hotels but if you take advantage and visit the other hotels itw well worth the small walk or free trolley ride

Hotel Riu Lupita was perfect for my 50th birthday celebration party. I was alone ,but did not not feel lonely.Great food and entertainment.Clean place with great food and drinks.
 
From: Reviewer has requested to be kept anonymous.
Date of Stay: January, 2007
We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The fresh and delicious food that was prepared every day. We liked the idea of expecting the different variety of menus every day. We looked forward to the different decoration each day on the restaurant. The hotel staff were always attentive to whatever we needed it. We liked the idea having the free bar and little refrigerator inside the room. Having the security box inside the room. That was very convenient; since other hotels do charge that as an extra service. One suggestion: Offer a security box, where you can create your very own password, thus to avoid carrying the key box key, and being concerned if the key got lost, you will have to pay the replacement fee of $50.00. We liked the benefits of the bus transportation through out the day, to get back and forth from the hotel to the the town of Playa del Carmen.
 
From: Martin, Boston, MA
Date of Stay: December, 2006
Upon arrival we told the staff that I was disabled and needed a first floor room and was told that the only room available was on the third floor and there was no elevator and they had slippery stairs and were not willing to accomodate us. Also we had no help with our baggage to the room or leaving the room. We also had no water in our room the first night, and the next morning there was just a trickle coming out of the shower.
 
From: James, Charlotte, NC
Date of Stay: November, 2006
I have stayed twice at Riu Lupita an off-the-beach all-inclusive in the Playacar development next to Playa del Carmen. The staff is very friendly, both management and hospitality staff (bar, restaurant service staff and animation team staff) are polite, friendly / amiable and communicative in English, Spanish, French, German and some Portuguese. The hotel is marketed primarily in Europe and so there is a great opportunity to rub elbows with and interact with multiple nationalities amongst the hotel guests. Generally the food is good and well prepared, and varied. The buffet restaurant is the primary restaurant, and the ala carte restaurant specializes in Mexican cuisine. If you do not mind taking a 10 minute bus ride to the beach, this is a very good value, but perhaps a bit laid back for the college and young singles age groups.
