The Riu Cancun resort will be closed from May 2014 through the end of July 2014 for a complete renovation. As is typical for these type of resort renovations, there is not a lot of official word out about the extent of the renovations from Riu headquarters; however, rumor has it that a theater will be added, restaurants will be relocated, the pool will be re-done, and guest rooms will undergo full renovations. As of this date, the outdoor renovations are still being worked on as well as working on room balconies. Given the scope of this renovation, the re-opening date may be in question.

Renovation Planned for Desire Resort and Spa Riviera Maya
A minor renovation is planned for Desire Resort and Spa Riviera Maya September 1, 2014-September 23, 2014. The renovation involves the pool area and Tentazione Restaurant–not only will these areas be closed but the beach area directly in front of the pool as well. The resort will offer complimentary transportation to Desire Pearl Resort from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. so that guests may enjoy the pool, beach area, and luncheon restaurant at its sister resort’s locale. Also, the on-site Jacuzzi Lounge will have extended hours during this time from 10 a.m. until 3 a.m. Perhaps the best perk of all is the 35% discount the resort is offering on all room categories for guests staying during these renovation dates (Jr. Suite Garden Views are already sold out for some of these dates).
