This hotel is not on the water, but they have a 10 minute shuttle that takes you to their beach club that has a restaurant, drinks, beach and pool all with lunge chairs. quiet place with plenty of chairs and room without being crowded at both the hotel and beach club. less kids then at other resorts.

Riu Lupita was boring and very quiet, with mostly older guests and no real vibe. As a person of color, I didn’t see any diversity, which felt uncomfortable. The resort felt outdated and low budget you definitely get what you pay for. I switched resorts after one day because staying longer would’ve ruined my trip.

This is a great location, quality and price point if you like a quieter all inclusive experience......as long as you are ok not being on the beach. You can take their free shuttle to their beach access which has free buffet food and drink there or you can walk there in about 30 minutes. The onsite swimming pools appear clean and nice. They have a smaller "quiet" pool which lived up to the name.

This hotel was very relaxing. It did not have the variety or quality of food that other riu brand hotels have had, but there was always enough to eat. The mattresses are hard, but the room is clean, spacious and well-maintained. The drinks were good, the shows were cheesy, and there were activities to do. There was always lots to do despite the resort being small. They have the kids club there, but kids would likely be bored. The shuttle to the beach club was convenient, and the drivers are very friendly. It stops at a central location, so you can walk into Playa del Carmen, and then at the pathway down to the beach beside the Riu Palace. Even on March Break, we found enough loungers by the beach (except for one day) and by the quiet pool to sit. There are some pretty cool Mayan ruins along the way, which makes for a nice walk. All in all, we had a nice time.
