Thanks for watching! What's your favorite all-inclusive resort? Or which one should I choose for my next AI trip?? This video is not sponsored - I found a great deal and booked it on Expedia: expedia.stay22.com/likewhereyouregoing/Siw0oC69Jx Sometimes Plannin has even better deals: plannin.com/hotel/ee4052f9-9f10-4fec-ba55-5e97080d73db?refId=alysmalls
Love the video. Still debating if RIU Latino in Cancun is for us. We tried the RIU in Cabo and weren’t impressed. Also we prefer Cancun. Great content!
The Riviera Maya is amazing. The resorts are convenient and fun, but the best part is getting off-resort and exploring the history and culture. I go to Quintana Roo every 2 years and Punta Cana every other year that I'm not in MX. Although I think in 2025 we are going to try Puerto Vallarta region.
I’ve gone 8 years in a row to the Mayan Riviera. Never felt unsafe. Sometimes I leave the resort, sometimes I just stay on the resort. The hospitality in that area is on another level. I would highly recommend!
I loved the food when we were there. The buffets was better than a lot of the other resorts I have been too. The water slides also so fun! Me and my husband had a blast! I can't wait to go back!
@@curtismarzerka20 I love the entertainment every night there was some show or something going on or some dance party. And then right after that, the club opens and you could literally stay at the club till like 2 AM.
We recently stayed at Riu reggae over the new year holiday they had a big celebration and the food was great. We loved everything about it. We have a stay coming up at Riu Latino in a month when we booked we didn’t realize it was kind of far from Cancun, but nonetheless, we are still so excited! 😁
I"m going there next month , thanks for sharing this I cant wait to be there ! I paid the trip 1885$ for 7days cheaper than you ! what time of the year did u go?
I stayed at the Riu Palace in Cabo and it was great and at that time you can hotel hop next door to Riu Santa Fe but I heard they don’t let you do that anymore. I overall enjoy the Riu Hotel chains and have no complaints. They have different tiers so I agree with you if you want a cheap hotel or if you want to pay a little more. They have the best of both worlds 😊
Good price! Because airfare is cheaper from Atlanta to Cancun than Atlanta to Merida, and because I want to check out Tren Maya, Ill arrive in Cancun this coming Tuesday, then ride the Tren Maya to Merida. BUT, now that You posted this video, I may alter my travel plans. That assumes, Hurricane Beryl spares Cancun.
sorry I should have been more specific, water was delivered everyday! We got 3-4 of those big waters each day, and the fridge goodies (beer, soft drinks) was every 2-3 days. I think you can request a restock through the app at anytime though 😊
You NEVER go into the pool of a swimup bar! There are a lot of people standing or sitting at the bar, drinking all the time who mysteriously never leave for the bathroom. I wonder why! 🤔 Yuck! 🤢
@@lanzknecht8599 no I don’t piss or shit in a pool. your making assumptions about what people do or don’t do here on you tube. Your also telling people what they shouldn’t be doing. Who are you to tell people what to do? You may have been in a non swim up pool that someone has pissed in as well who knowsss 🤷♂️ there’s some reality to think of
At $2000 Canadian during off-season the food should be better. Prices to Cancun have gotten way too expensive. I use to pay $2400 per person in January to go to the Excellence. Not they was $1000 more per person. Not going back.
I fly out of Canada, which is stupidly expensive - $2000 included flights and my stay - there are very few adult only resorts I can find for this price, so for me it was a great deal 😊
@@alysmalls when is the best time to go to Mexico/dominican? not September right? and I was also wondering about these Amazon sunglasses you’d mentioned in one of your videos but can find it.. can you please send me the link to them ? thanks 😊
@@parinazaz4044 Basically August through October is hurricane season - I would try to avoid going those months. Any other time is fabulous. Here is the link to my sunglasses: amzn.to/3yDCm6T
Hey Ally, I have been thinking of staying at a RIU Palace property, ..... (RIU PALACE LAS AMERICAS, Cancun or RIU PALACE BAHA CALIFORNIA, both Adults only), but multiple RUclips videos have said the quality of the food has gone down, especially the Buffet. On the other hand, the influencer Coolest, (James), gave a very good review for RIU PALACE MACAO, Punta Cana, D.R. QUESTION: What say you? Keep up the great work and Thanks in advance. 😎⛹️♀️🤸♂️🚴♂️
I love Coolist's videos! I definitely trust/agree with his reviews on most places. Food is so subjective, but if it's a RIU Palace, the buffets are incredible and there is SO much variety that you will always find good stuff!

I like the Majestic resorts. Not high price for what you get . Just my opinion 😊
I will check them out, thanks!
Great video! I may have to try this hotel, another great hotel is the Riu Palace Baja California! Nice modern rooms and the food is good there!!
Aly is pumping out quality content

Great content!
Never thought honestly about going to Mexico, but the more videos I see from people the more appealing it looks. I am all about adults only resorts!

Mexico is amazing I take my family to Mexico every spring break. It’s safe we take public transportation it’s only $1 only if you stay in Cancun
I’ve gone 8 years in a row to the Mayan Riviera. Never felt unsafe. Sometimes I leave the resort, sometimes I just stay on the resort. The hospitality in that area is on another level. I would highly recommend!
Nice review! Would have liked to see some more of Deana, was nice meeting you girls. See you on the next trip maybe!
I loved the food when we were there. The buffets was better than a lot of the other resorts I have been too. The water slides also so fun! Me and my husband had a blast! I can't wait to go back!
How’s the nightlife entertainment?
@@curtismarzerka20 I love the entertainment every night there was some show or something going on or some dance party. And then right after that, the club opens and you could literally stay at the club till like 2 AM.
So far I love ur videos !! Thanks for the real up close details
Looks fantastic.. im going Jan 30th. Who's with me

I was at Riu Reggae last December. From her video they look very similar, what were your thoughts?
@@courtz2005 it was a beautiful resort we loved it but the food wasn’t as good as the one in Jamaica
Thanks Aly for the good idea and tips 😊. Have a great weekend.
I"m going there next month , thanks for sharing this I cant wait to be there ! I paid the trip 1885$ for 7days cheaper than you ! what time of the year did u go?
THANKS FOR SHARING VERY INFORMATIVE BEAUTIFUL RESORT👍🏿
What time did the swim up bars close and were there any bars open passed midnight ?
I stayed at the Riu Palace in Cabo and it was great and at that time you can hotel hop next door to Riu Santa Fe but I heard they don’t let you do that anymore.
I overall enjoy the Riu Hotel chains and have no complaints. They have different tiers so I agree with you if you want a cheap hotel or if you want to pay a little more. They have the best of both worlds 😊
I'm looking forward to trying some RIUs in Cabo!
Great video, the rooms look way above average for a RIU. Although the food seems typical for that chain, its always the biggest complaint.
What a beautiful place to relax.
We stayed at the Riu in Negril, Jamaica a few years ago. Everything was fine except the food.
Can you go to the pool parties at the Caribe while staying here? TY
Great video! As I will be going there in 2 weeks!
Thanks for the video! That place looks amazing. Doe the rooms have A/C? I appreciate the balance and honesty of the review. Happy travels! ✈✈
Yes they do - our worked almost too well lol
Good price!

stay safe & happy travels!
Awesome video!
Since they only restocked the fridge 2-3 days, were you able to get water bottles somewhere else on the resort?
sorry I should have been more specific, water was delivered everyday! We got 3-4 of those big waters each day, and the fridge goodies (beer, soft drinks) was every 2-3 days. I think you can request a restock through the app at anytime though 😊
@@alysmalls oh okay perfect! Thank you ◡̈
pools close at 7?
Can you please recommend transportation company?
Nexus
What was the seaweed situation ?
It's in the video!
Isla Mujeres blocks some of the seaweed in this area.
Is it all inclusive??
What month dud you go
I'd go in October or November. Otherwise, the pools are miserably hot. March and April would be OK, too, but avoid spring break at all costs.
Thanks for the review! Did you notice any vegan food?
Is flight included in that rate?
yes
@@alysmalls thank you so much, came back from Puerto Vallarta last week… your videos helped me a lot🫶

Shut uppp
I noticed the same and I generally stay out of those pools for the same reason. :D
@@mattyp2123 Oh, so you also belong to those people. Reality sometimes sucks!

You would be surprised what’s in the ocean
What’s the best hotels you’ve stayed at ?
Riu Bambu in Punta Cana. It was da bomb 💣
At $2000 Canadian during off-season the food should be better. Prices to Cancun have gotten way too expensive. I use to pay $2400 per person in January to go to the Excellence. Not they was $1000 more per person. Not going back.
You can go here for 1500 US per person, generally.
If you stay at a Riu, then stay at a Palace. I don't care that they're not adults only. They're just better.
Best adult resort in cancun bar none royalton chic
2000$ cad is alot for this place, when did you go?
I fly out of Canada, which is stupidly expensive - $2000 included flights and my stay - there are very few adult only resorts I can find for this price, so for me it was a great deal 😊
vietnamese barber shop in bangkok thailand $17 complete makeover seoul spa
Love all your videos, but please don’t cut your pasta with a knife. LOL
that was my friend lol !
Maybe the timing for this video isn't the best, has anyone heard of HURRICANE BERYL..........but I'm sure prices have come down......
Yeah scary and sad! That's why I don't recommend traveling during hurricane season
@@alysmalls when is the best time to go to Mexico/dominican? not September right? and I was also wondering about these Amazon sunglasses you’d mentioned in one of your videos but can find it.. can you please send me the link to them ? thanks 😊
