Picturesque golden sandy beaches with seven pools

This big, luxury hotel wins favour for its beachfront setting and great choice of restaurants. The Riu Palace Peninsula is in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, about a five-minute drive from downtown Cancun. Right outside, you’ve got white sands and turquoise waters, and there’s a stretch exclusively for guests. There are three pools to pick from here, so you'll have plenty of choice when it comes to where to chill out. And dining is a real highlight, with a steakhouse and Japanese among the options. You can expect fresh, contemporary decor throughout. #summerdestinations #cancunbeach #riupalacepeninsula
