Riu Cancún is an adults-only all-inclusive by RIU at Punta Cancún, close to the busiest corner of the Hotel Zone. Book the last hour of daylight, or sunrise with small children. Our sessions start at 245 USD and arrive in one to three business days.
Whether you are a couple, a family or three generations together, a session at Riu Cancún works best when the hour and the spot are chosen for this beach. Here is our plan.
The Session at a Glance
- HotelAdults-only all-inclusive by RIU, at Punta Cancún
- Beach facesThe corner of Punta Cancún: the bay on one side, the open Caribbean on the other
Where We Shoot
Two seas. From Punta Cancún you can shoot the open Caribbean at sunrise and the calm bay in the evening.
The water's edge. We always finish at the shoreline, away from the pools and loungers, where the background is only sea and sky.
Nearby. Nearby public beaches such as Playa Gaviota Azul and Playa Chac Mool give an open-sea setting a few minutes' walk away.

How the Photographer Gets In
How does the photographer get in? As your guest. Tell the Riu Cancún front desk our name and the time of the session in advance, and we check in at the lobby like anyone meeting you for dinner. A short private session for a staying guest is very seldom charged the outside vendor fee used for weddings, and we confirm the current policy with the resort in writing. Non-guests should plan for a day pass, as our access guide explains.
