Cancellation Deadlines and Fees

RIU cancellation policies vary by hotel and rate type, but general guidelines include:

• Free cancellation: Usually 24–72 hours before arrival
  
• Late cancellation: May incur a one-night charge
  
• No-show: Often charged the full stay or partial fee
  

To avoid fees, cancel before the deadline. If you’re close to the cutoff, calling 📞 +1⇢866⇢284⇢3014 (USA) can sometimes help explore exceptions.

Refund Process Explained

If your reservation qualifies for a refund:

• Refunds are issued to the original payment method
