The right Riu hotel in Cancun

Your destination is Riu Palace Peninsula at kilometer 5.5 of Boulevard Kukulcan. Keep the full hotel name on your transfer reservation; a booking that only says Riu does not identify the property.

RIU lists its parties at Riu Caribe. That does not change where we take you for your stay at Palace Peninsula. Use the hotel on your accommodation confirmation.

Distance from Cancun Airport

The saved road route from Terminal 3 to this hotel's coordinates is 23.8 km, with a reference driving time of about 30 minutes. That calculation does not use live traffic or include the time spent collecting luggage.

For departure, use the pickup appointment on your CAT confirmation. Airport check-in and security take time after the road journey.

Traveling with children or a larger family

Include every child in the passenger count. Compare luggage space before choosing a vehicle, especially if you are bringing a stroller.

A child seat is not assigned automatically. Ask us to confirm availability before booking, or tell us if you are bringing your own. Families on different flights should send us the arrival details before combining everyone into one pickup.

Your arrival date and hotel check-in

The hotel publishes check-in from 3 p.m. and checkout at noon. Those are room times, not airport pickup times. Book the arrival transfer for the day your flight lands.

If you reach the hotel earlier, ask reception about room access. For the flight home, finish hotel checkout before your agreed pickup.

Choosing a vehicle and fare

Private and Luxury transportation have Economy and Premium fares. Open the included benefits and compare the total for your dates; the price is for the vehicle, not each traveler.

If your room is in Elite Club, select Riu Palace Peninsula as the destination. Elite Club belongs to your hotel stay; you choose your CAT transport fare separately.

Book the return from Palace Peninsula

Choose Round trip to reserve both airport journeys. You can review the dates, passengers and vehicle before payment.

If your return will be from another hotel, send us its full name and address. We will review the route and any fare difference before changing your pickup.

Hotel information

Visit the Maya Museum and El Rey

The Hotel Zone follows a long coastal strip. Plan around your hotel's section of Boulevard Kukulcán instead of assuming every attraction is a short walk away.

Arrange your airport arrival →

Museo Maya and San Miguelito

Combine the Museo Maya de Cancún with the adjoining archaeological site of San Miguelito for a cultural outing within the Hotel Zone. Check the INAH visitor page before leaving: museum and archaeological access have their own schedules.

Walk nearby; arrange the longer stretches

You may be able to walk to a nearby restaurant. For a trip across the Hotel Zone, check the route and arrange your return transport. Use designated crossings and save your hotel name and entrance with its kilometer marker.

Check the beach flags before swimming

A sunny day does not guarantee safe swimming. Cancun's Civil Protection advises following lifeguards and beach flags; red means do not enter the water. Choose supervised swimming areas and keep children within reach.
