Riu Latino

The short version

Want an adults-only beach week with a water park and a nightclub thrown in? Riu Latino in Costa Mujeres is for guests 18 and over, with five pools, swim-up bars, in-water loungers and its own Splash Water World. Nights run through five bars, one of them a 24-hour sports bar, and a nightclub. It fits friends and couples who like some energy around them. If you are after peace and quiet, ask me about calmer options.
