Wyndham Alltra Cancun and Riu Palace Costa Mujeres are excellent resorts
by Lenny Travel on 03/23/25

Both Wyndham Alltra Cancun and Riu Palace Costa Mujeres are excellent resorts, but they offer slightly different experiences. Here’s a comparison to help you decide:
Wyndham Alltra Cancun
-
Beach: The beach here is generally very nice—soft white sand and clear blue water, though some areas can get seaweed depending on the season.
-
Food: The food is well-rated for an all-inclusive in this price range. They have a variety of options, including Mexican, Italian, Asian, and an international buffet. Guests generally enjoy the quality, though it may not be ultra-gourmet.
-
Vibe: Family-friendly with a fun atmosphere. Great for clients with kids or those who enjoy a more active and social resort.
-
Location: Located in Cancun's Hotel Zone, making it easy to access nightlife, shopping, and excursions.
-
Rooms: Comfortable but not ultra-luxurious; well-maintained with some ocean-view options.
Riu Palace Costa Mujeres
-
Beach: Stunning, wide, and less crowded compared to Cancun’s Hotel Zone. The sand is soft, and the water is usually clear. There’s less seaweed compared to Cancun.
-
Food: Known for having good food for a Riu property. Buffet is excellent, and à la carte options include steakhouse, Japanese, and Italian. Riu properties tend to have consistent quality in their dining.
-
Vibe: A bit more upscale than Wyndham Alltra but still lively. Good for couples or families who want a more refined atmosphere but still want entertainment and activities.
-
Location: Located in Costa Mujeres, about 30 minutes north of Cancun’s Hotel Zone. More secluded, but further from nightlife and shopping.
-
Rooms: Modern, sleek, and more stylish than Wyndham Alltra. More of a "luxury-feel" compared to Wyndham’s more traditional tropical resort vibe.
Which One to Choose?
-
If your client prefers a lively, centrally located resort with easy access to Cancun’s attractions, Wyndham Alltra Cancun is a great pick.
-
If they prefer a more modern, quieter, and slightly more upscale experience with a better beach, Riu Palace Costa Mujeres is the better choice.
