My stay at the Riu Palace Kukulkan had its highs and lows. On the positive side, the service was excellent, and the hotel maintained a spotless environment. However, the dining experience was quite disappointing, with many food items lacking quality. Additionally, I encountered issues with my room upon arrival, which affected my first day.

My stay at Riu Palace Kukulkan was overall quite enjoyable, with a few drawbacks. The hotel was immaculate, and the staff were incredibly welcoming, especially Addy in the lobby and Juan at the pool bar, who perfectly remembered my drink orders. However, the dining options left a bit to be desired, as the restaurants felt average at best, while the buffet offered a better experience. I would consider returning, possibly to try the Elite side next time.

While the buffet was far better than the themed restaurants, I found the food quality at the specialty dining to be disappointing; they didn't live up to the expectations I had for such a resort.

I had an amazing stay at Riu Palace Kukulkan! The beach and pools were fantastic, and I loved the lively entertainment. However, my room was chilly and took a while to warm up, plus some buffet items weren't fully cooked. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place despite a few minor issues.

I just returned from a 5-night stay at Riu Palace Kukulkan, and while my overall experience was enjoyable, there were some hiccups. The hotel was immaculate and the staff incredibly friendly, but the food and wifi left something to be desired. The buffet offered better variety than the themed restaurants, and I appreciated the consistent cleanliness throughout my stay. 🌴✨

I stayed in a Junior Suite with an ocean view, which was stunning. However, I did find it odd that the cleaning crew asked about tidying up twice a day, even after I had already had my room cleaned in the morning.

The hotel is set in a prime location with beautiful views. However, I found that the wifi connection was problematic, especially since I realized I had to connect in the lobby first before accessing it in my room.

The buffet was by far the best dining option; the variety changed nightly and surpassed what I'd experienced at Vegas buffets. However, the themed restaurants were hit or miss, and I wasn't impressed with the food quality overall.

The hotel grounds were pristine, and the pool area had some fun entertainment. However, I thought there should be more bathrooms around the hotel, and the gym was quite small.
