Hotel Overview

Just steps from the shops and nightlife in Cancun, the adults-only (18+) Riu Palace Las Americas is the perfect place for an all-inclusive Cancun vacation. Step into a lobby that is beyond extravagant, with great columns rising to hand-painted domes in gold leaf and floral designs, a stained glass ceiling, Edwardian furniture in rich satin and extraordinary chandeliers.


All amenities are offered for the first-class traveler: a spa with a rooftop solarium and Jacuzzi, a lavish nightclub with live shows and entertainment, and high-end suites with luxurious furnishings. An infinity pool appears to flow into the turquoise sea framing a white sand beach. Activities include table tennis, volleyball, windsurfing, snorkeling, and more. 


Hailed for excellent dining, there is a selection of five à la carteor grand buffet restaurants. Recently revamped menus now offer a wide range of cuisine and finer ingredients at the  à la carte restaurants, as well as the incorporation of a vegetarian menu in all restaurants. Fine cuisine is served at Los Arcos Italian restaurant, Sakura Japanese restaurant, Tio Pepe Mexican restaurant, Krystal Fusion restaurant, and a Grill and steakhouse. Domestic and imported drinks are served 24-hours a day and the mini-bar and liquor dispenser in the rooms are restocked regularly.

    Great location and food

    Beautiful place. Great food. Excellent night entertainment. But the communication needs improvement. The schedule shows caribe party all day and it never let you know about actual activities. We missed volleyball and water aerobics and probably others because there is no clear schedule anywhere. I even asked the front desk. He directed me to the app. Which I promptly showed him was empty of any details. I would suggest clear schedule posters or app updates daily for all guests

    Beautiful resort, fabulous vacation!

    We celebrated my birthday week at Las Americas in November 2024. The room had been decorated with balloons and we were gifted with chocolate covered strawberries and champagne - what a wonderful welcome. The room was huge and very comfortable, the resort was beautifully maintained, the staff were wonderful, food and drinks were better than expected. Can't wait to go back!

    Wife’s birthday get away

    Very nice hotel. Food and service was excellent. we got a couples massage on the wife’s birthday. It was raining and there’s no indoor entrance to the spa. That was the worst of it.
