So I’m thinking of going to Riu Cancun Caribe for my birthday in October. But I’m thinking of booking it through the RIU website itself. I’ve seen Expedia, but they’re charging a little more. Can anyone tell me if booking basically through the RIU resort website is a good idea? This will be my first solo international trip. I also wouldn't mind any tips or suggestions for flights, the hotel, or other birthday options. I want to party as well lol
