Riu Cancun

The short version

Nights out are built into the stay at Riu Cancun. Your all-inclusive covers entry to the Pacha nightclub, open six nights a week, and transfers to RIU Party events. By day the adults-only (18+) hotel offers four outdoor pools, including a 290-square-meter infinity pool with a swim-up bar, five bars and six places to eat. For a slower hour, the Renova Spa does massages on the beach. The airport is roughly 30 minutes away.
