Scubacaribe, a water sports company, offers activities and excursions for Riu Cancun guests inside the resort. You'll have a wide range of things to try, including sailing in a catamaran (a type of a boat), canoeing, an introductory scuba diving lesson in the pool, snorkeling and windsurfing. Activities that have an extra charge include additional scuba diving lessons and tours, parasailing, deep sea fishing and sailing lessons. The company employs authorized technicians that use current equipment. If you just want to relax, a sunset boat excursion awaits that is perfect for photos. For something more traditional, the hotel has three swimming pools for guests.
If you want to be active but prefer staying grounded, play tennis on a floodlit hard surface court, table tennis or workout in a gym. Nearby sports and facilities, which have an extra charge, include a bicycle hire and golf.

Part of a vacation is recharging and relaxing. A jacuzzi and sauna are complimentary for guests. The Renova Spa in the resort features treatments at an additional charge. Get pampered with body treatments, facials, massages and a pedicure and a manicure.
On a vacation, eating could become an important activity. Guests get a full American breakfast buffet and a continental breakfast. For lunch, there are hot and cold buffets, pastas, pizzas, salads and a variety of desserts. For dinner, try additional buffets and dishes that are prepared on the spot. Your taste buds could wander to optional dining rooms that require a reservation in advance. They include Brazilian Rodizio (main course with table service; buffet starters and
dessert), Grill and steakhouse (served in a buffet), Italian cuisine (buffet) and "Kawachi" Japanese restaurant (a la carte). Snacks are available at any time, and there is a "Wet n' Drinking" swim-up bar by the poolside.
