I am looking forward to the opening of the brand new adults-only Riu Palace Kukulkan in Cancun’s Hotel Zone–actually, from what I understand it will be located just south of Live Aqua Beach Resort Cancun (one of my favorite all-inclusive resorts in Cancun).
Riu Palace Kukulkan will launch Riu’s new upgraded concept, Elite Club. Elite Club is akin to other resorts’ upgrade status like Preferred Club, Privilege Club, etc. with its own perks. Elite Club will offer the following:
- better room location in terms of ocean views
- separate check-in
- in-room welcome bottle of wine or sparkling wine
- in-room welcome gift with the Elite logo
- aromatherapy available within your room
- additional liquor choices not available to other guests in the Sports Bar
Below is the first video I’ve found with actual resort footage. This short video shows one of the Elite Club rooms. As you can see, there is the open bathroom concept with a tub fully exposed to the rest of the room, plus at the end of the video you can see the ocean from the balcony but unfortunately the videographer did not go out on the balcony, most likely because it was meant to be one of those very short video clips. I am looking forward to seeing more of this resort; it will be the first property I will be staying at on my next Cancun vacation in March 2023–and I booked the Elite Club here as well!
Enjoy the short video, I will be posting more real time videos as they come in of this new Riu resort.
