We stayed last week ground floor in the new annex bldg at RPRM (7002) and it was very clean and comfortable. We’ve stayed in courtyard view rooms and sea-facing rooms in both the RPRM and RPM, but the ground floor was a nice change after a week prior on the 2nd floor at Iberostar… The water pressure was excellent, the water temp stable, and the mini fridge was actually very cold! We hardly used the liquor cabinet, but it’s nice having both Sprite and Pepsi for mixers. We enjoyed the close proximity to the pools and sea. But the pools here are soooo hot this time of year! We stayed away from the pools near the bar because they were just too hot. The swim-up bar pool was also hot but we enjoyed that a bit more… We are always disappointed with the ala cartes at all the RIUs, it just never changes…The Mexican and Steakhouse were absolutely terrible, we enjoyed the Italian one evening but it was not great. As usual we dined in the buffet most evenings or went into town to enjoy our favorite restaurants there! The staff is excellent, a shout out to housekeeping, and to Jorge and his fellow bartenders at the Cancun bar. And of course our favorite restaurant waiter Carlos…We always love catching up with him, just a great guy! We may return if we still get the opportunity to bid on vouchers, but we just prefer the Iberostar Tucan/Quetzal for the natural setting, the food, and the traditional rooms. But the staff here is great, the public areas beautiful, we just wish the food quality in the ala cartes was more consistent… We took advantage of our favorite taxi driver for excursions we came to know while living here. Just a genuinely humble gentleman with excellent prices who puts your safety first while sharing his love of country…
