Costa Mujeres welcomes you like a forgotten pause in Mexico. Just 16 kilometres north of Cancun, this unspoilt coast stretches between white sand and crystal-clear water, far from the hustle and bustle of major beach resorts. The Riu Latino cultivates this serenity by exclusively welcoming adults from 18 years old, creating a peaceful atmosphere where relaxed elegance and understated luxury reign. From the moment you arrive, you understand that this stay will be dedicated to authentic relaxation, Caribbean rhythm, and the simple pleasures of sea and sun.
Arrival
Cancun International Airport is just 30 kilometres away. You arrive at Costa Mujeres via the coastal road, where the first coconut trees announce the change of atmosphere. Riu Latino's 24-hour reception is ready to handle your requests and questions. The 550 rooms, spacious and contemporary, offer 38 m² of refined comfort: private terrace or balcony, air conditioning, minibar, Wi-Fi connection, flat-screen TV with satellite channels. You can choose garden or side sea view depending on your preference. Bathrooms combine practicality and wellness with generous showers, soft bathrobes and hairdryers.
Check-in takes place around 3pm, check-out until 11am or noon depending on the day. If you arrive late on your first day, a cold plate may be offered in your room. The establishment has lifts to upper floors, and certain rooms are accessible to people with reduced mobility on request.
Dining, all included
The all-inclusive concept covers breakfast, lunch, dinner and a complete selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks throughout your stay. The Moctezuma restaurant offers a rich and varied international buffet, where authentic Mexican dishes and international classics blend harmoniously. Want to explore other flavours? The Geisha restaurant opens the doors to Asian cuisine in generous buffet form. Milan, à la carte, focuses on Italian specialties with buffet starters and desserts for a more gastronomic evening. The Kulinarium offers sophisticated fusion cuisine in an elegant setting, whilst the Steakhouse, positioned poolside, serves succulent grilled dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. For snacks, Pepe's Food Grill serves grilled meats, pizzas and snacks throughout the day.
Bars are plentiful and strategically positioned: Velvet in the lobby offers elegant cocktails in the late afternoon. Mariachi opens its terrace for evening drinks. The Sports Bar broadcasts major sporting events with all the energy they deserve. To never leave the water, Tequila and Mezcal, two swim-up bars poolside, serve chilled tropical drinks directly from your sunbeds. We invite you to verify the details of the all-inclusive offer directly on the Iberostar website, as inclusions may vary depending on the period and room type.
Days by the water
The Riu Latino has three outdoor pools and its own water park equipped with five water slides. These pools, complemented by a solarium with sunbeds and parasols, provide all the ingredients for perfect relaxation afternoons. Pool and beach towels are of course provided. But the real marvel is direct access to a private white sand beach, a stretch of untouched coastline where white sand meets turquoise water. This is where the most beautiful moments come alive: unlimited swimming, reading, napping facing the horizon.
The leisure programme is rich. A fitness room awaits those wishing to maintain their shape. Stretching, yoga, aerobics, aqua fit and step classes are offered regularly. Beach volleyball, water polo and darts embody the playful spirit of the days. For golf lovers, PlayaMujeres Golf Club is just 2.5 kilometres away. You can explore coral reefs snorkelling or diving, or visit Isla Mujeres by boat, the Laguna del Amor Nature Reserve, and the Mayan treasures of Chichén Itzá or Tulum.
Evening vibes
Each evening brings its share of shows. The daily international entertainment programme includes concerts, themed shows, RIU Party and live music. The lobby atmosphere changes every hour: aperitifs at Velvet, dinner at a restaurant of your choice, sunset concert, evening dance or stage show. All-inclusive means you can truly enjoy without counting, without fear of bill shock.
Who is it for?
The Riu Latino is primarily aimed at couples seeking relaxation one-on-one, far from children's cries and family hustle. The 18+ atmosphere creates a real bubble of adult serenity. Solo travellers looking for a safe and welcoming beach destination will also find their place here, with the possibility of mingling with the hotel's social life or remaining in privacy. Groups of friends seeking a carefree all-inclusive week will find ideal ground here. This hotel is not suitable for families with children, by definition.

The cherry on top
The small detail that makes all the difference: direct access to a private white sand beach, far from crowded public beaches. You fall asleep to the sound of waves, you wake up barefoot in the sand, you dine facing the horizon. That's luxury at Costa Mujeres.
