"Set on ice-white sands, this palatial hotel has got it all – looks, luxury and location.”
Standing right on the water’s edge, this gleaming white hotel features twin turrets – each with a Grecian-style cupola and statue atop. And from the moment you step into the lobby you’ll notice plenty in the way of glamour. We’re talking tall, elegant pillars, crystal chandeliers and richly painted ceilings.
Outside two broad swimming pools are designed so that from certain angles they seem to be floating on the sea. Graceful statues, whirlpool baths and partially submerged sunbeds add to the air of sophisticated luxury.
Just steps away is a stretch of gently shelving white sands. You won’t get bowled over by any breakers here – the beach is protected from waves by a coral reef alive with shoals of tropical fish. It’s a great spot for snorkelling.
Accommodation is in elegant, spacious suites. Their dark-wood furnishings are offset by soft neutral walls and regal red and gold covers and drapes.
And when it comes to dining, the hotel pulls out all the stops. Five a la carte restaurants – including Japanese, Brazilian and Spanish – as well as the main buffet restaurant, ensure plenty of variety.
Its setting is the Riu Palace Las Americas’ final trump card. It might seem in a peaceful world of its own, but actually fun-loving Cancun is just a few minutes away if you want to party.

Your guide to Cancun, Mexico - Caribbean Coast
"Boasting powder-soft sands, blissful Caribbean seas and pounding nightlife, Cancun will thrill anyone anyone who loves beaches, fun … and life."
Beach, party, beach, party… sums up Cancun holidays. Blessed with endless snow-white sands kissed by turquoise seas, and piling amazing nightlife, shopping and eating-out options on top, Cancun is utopia if you like to lounge and play hard. Located on the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula between a lagoon and the Caribbean, this magnificent stretch of coastline boasts countless high-quality hotels - many all-inclusive - and all poised beside the blinding white beach. If you’re here for the sun and sea – and who isn’t? – it’s the stuff of dreams. One step on the coral sands will confirm you’re in prime beach-steak territory. The sands’ aquatic origins mean they stay relatively cool even in scorching heat, so you can traipse happily to and from the transparent seas without burning your soles. Adrenalin junkies can celebrate too - watersports are thick on the ground. In the more sheltered north, the Caribbean ocean is perfect for windsurfing, fishing and snorkelling, whilst facing inland, the vast lagoon waters are a playground for water-skiers. Away from the beach, you’ll hardly be twiddling your thumbs. Although Cancun has no real centre, it bristles with American-style shopping malls and Mexican markets, all ideal hunting grounds for handicrafts, duty-free goodies and designer products. Plus, your tastebuds will be teased every-which-way by an endless variety of restaurants. Whether it’s US fast food, Chinese, European or platters of Mexican fajitas, it’s all here. After dark, Cancun shifts from chilled-out to action-packed. Just choose your venue. Whether it’s the live entertainments at most hotels, sampling the Mexican vibe at a traditional bar, or partying like there’s no tomorrow at a disco or nightclub, there’s no escaping the fun.
