RIU Palace Peninsula All-Inclusive Resort – Cancun, Mexico

We stayed in a Villa Junior Suite Jacuzzi Ocean View room, which you can see a tour of in the video below. I’ll be honest, I was a little disappointed after arriving at our room. We paid extra to stay in the villas and to have the outside jacuzzi and ocean view. We were on the first floor though right outside the pool. I would consider this more of a “pool-side” or “pool view” room, not a true ocean view room. There wasn’t much of an ocean view at all.  Being right at the pool as well made it a bit more difficult to enjoy the jacuzzi with everyone walking by and looking at you LOL. I would have rather paid less money and been on a higher floor in the main building to have an actual view of the ocean & more privacy while on the balcony. On the plus side though, the location of our room was perfect for enjoying the adults only pool, bar + getting to the beach quickly. We still enjoyed it, it just wasn’t what we thought we were getting when booking our stay. 

The villas is the adult-only section at the resort. By staying in the villas you also have access to an additional pool + restaurant that only those staying in the villas can use.
