It’s 1:00 AM in the Hotel Zone. You’ve just returned to your room after a spectacular night out. The resort’s restaurants closed hours ago, and you are suddenly, overwhelmingly hungry. This is the moment of truth for your all-inclusive resort.
This is where you discover the “24-Hour Room Service” promise made on the website often comes with a frustrating, hidden catch.

Here at The Cancun Sun, we know that one of the biggest “pain points” for travelers is the “gotcha” fee. Many resorts that claim 24/7 service will quietly add a $10, $15, or even $20 “delivery fee” or “tray charge” to your bill for every single late-night order, which makes the “all-inclusive” promise feel a bit hollow.
A savvy traveler deserves to know: which resorts actually mean it when they say 24-hour, included room service? After a deep dive into official 2025 resort policies and hundreds of recent traveler reviews, we’ve verified the top 3 resort brands in the Cancun Hotel Zone where you can order that 2 AM burger with no fear of a surprise charge.

1. Hyatt Ziva & Hyatt Zilara Cancun 🍔
These two iconic resorts—the family-friendly Ziva and the adults-only Zilara—are arguably the gold standard for a “no-hassle” luxury all-inclusive experience, and their room service is a huge part of that.

- The Vibe: These resorts are “all-inclusive machines” in the best possible way. They are located on a prime, “Point of Cancun” beach (the corner of the “7”), offering both calm waters and spectacular ocean views.
- The 24/7 Service: 24-hour “in-suite dining” is a core part of the Hyatt all-inclusive promise, and recent 2025 traveler reviews consistently confirm there is no delivery fee for this service. While the full, extensive menu is available during the day, the late-night menu (typically after 11 PM) is a more limited but fantastic selection of popular items like pizzas, burgers, salads, and quesadillas. It’s hot, it’s fast, and it’s 100% included.
2. The Riu Palace Resorts 👑
The Riu brand is famous for its non-stop, high-energy fun, but its “Palace” level resorts—specifically the adults-only Riu Palace Las Americas and Riu Palace Kukulkan—are also legendary for their 24/7 all-inclusive perks, with room service at the top of the list.

- The Vibe: Energetic, social, and luxurious. These resorts are perfect for travelers who want a fun, lively atmosphere without sacrificing 5-star service.
- The 24/7 Service: 24-hour room service is a hallmark of the Riu Palace brand and is confirmed in countless 2025 reviews to be included with no delivery fee. While the late-night menu is more focused on snacks and comfort food (think club sandwiches, fruit plates, and nachos), it’s a fast, reliable, and completely free option at any hour of the night, which is a massive perk for guests returning from the Party Zone.
3. Secrets The Vine & Secrets Mirabel 🤫
The “Secrets” brand, now part of the Hyatt portfolio, built its reputation on its “Unlimited-Luxury” concept, and 24-hour room service is a non-negotiable pillar of that promise. Both Secrets The Vine (in the heart of the Hotel Zone) and the new Secrets Mirabel Cancun (at the quieter southern end) are top-tier, adults-only options.

- The Vibe: Modern, romantic, and sophisticated, with a focus on wine at The Vine and chic, contemporary design at Mirabel.
- The 24/7 Service: Both resorts offer a robust 24-hour room service menu with no delivery fees. Their most famous and beloved feature is the “Secrets Box” built into the wall—a small, two-way cabinet where staff can deliver your food without you ever having to open your door, allowing for ultimate privacy and convenience. Recent 2025 traveler reviews consistently praise this feature as a game-changer for a relaxing and private vacation.

While many resorts can nickel-and-dime you, these properties prove that true all-inclusive still exists. For the savvy traveler, choosing a resort that stands by its 24-hour promise is the key to a truly stress-free and indulgent Cancun vacation.
