    All is great except....

    Wonderful everything! The food (yes, first time i can say that thr food at an all inclusive is great!) options are excellent! Thr fact that you dont have to make reservations absolutely rocks!!! Most staff are professional and friendly, although we thought that the staff at Riu Playacar is way friendlier. So some just need to work on their smiles 😎 We love how immaculately clean the whole resort was!!!!! Here is the "but". On the beach we were NUMEROUSLY offered weed and even coke, guess by whom?! not just random vendors but by hotel's own water sports team!!!!? Shocked and dissapointed, i know in Jamaica they do it, but is this the thing now in Mexico? In this resort?? Oh, and the vendors on the beach also offer weed and resort makes no effort to discourage vendors bugging guests. Hate to write this all. But we want to come back as we loved everything else and hope the management will take note of this 🙏

    Riu does it again.

    This is a good hotel. It’s in a great location. The food is fair. It’s worth every dollar. Don’t listen to the negative reviews, it’s not ultra luxury but you get what you pay for. The service here is impeccable, I was able to modify all my drinks and meals at the Ala carte restaurants. The entertainers are very friendly. Lastly this place is clean!!

    A Wonderful Stay in Paradise!

    From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The staff were warm and attentive, and every detail of my stay reflected a commitment to comfort and relaxation. My room was immaculate—spotlessly clean with fresh linens and a calming atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. One of my favorite features was the waterfall shower head. After a long day exploring, stepping into that luxurious, rain-like flow was the perfect way to relax and refresh. It’s a small detail, but it made a big impact on my overall experience. The hotel captured the charm and beauty of Mexico perfectly, offering both comfort and authenticity. I’m so grateful for the care and attention the team puts into making every guest’s stay special. I’ll absolutely return—and I’ll be dreaming of that shower until I do!

    Fantastic Resort!

    Loved this resort and the location! The service is just fantastic! The entertainment staff is amazing as well. The food and drinks were so good. Ask for David he makes the best mojitos!! Our room was super clean and had a stunning view. Will be a returning guest soon!

    This place is amazing. We'll be back. Again.

    I've been back home for a month now and still can't stop thinking about this amazing hotel! We first visited here for our honeymoon back in 2010 and said "We'll come back someday". Well - that day happened this year. Although some things have changed, this hotel is still amazing and we will definitely be returning. The amazing: 1) Every member of staff friendly and genuinely kind. 2) The kids club - especially Kimberley and Acxel who made our boys feel special for our entire trip. Many times they'd come out to the pool and invite the our boys (and other children) to join in with football on the beach, or games on the grass - all sorts of fun activities! Then in the kids "Riuland" party at night, they'd encourage all the children to join in the fun. 3) The buffet was great and there was always something amazing to eat! High quality food at all meals of the day. 4) The mini-bar was re-stocked with our favourite soft drinks and beer. 5) The place is so clean! I got up early for a run a couple of times and witnessed staff painting the walls / rails. You could eat off the floor if you really wanted to. 6) Servers / bartenders were all excellent too. I want to say a particular thank you to Laura - serving drinks at the pool - for being an excellent server. 7) The entertainment team were amazing! What could make things better: 1) The room layout was strange for 2 adults and 2 children. We had two adults on a small double bed, then 1 child got a double bed to himself, and the other child had a rollaway. A large bed and a single (with a rollaway or a sofa bed) would make far more sense sense. 2) 15 years ago there were hammocks on the beach. They're gone! (The Riu Palace Mexico still has hammocks, so we did manage to use those once). 3) The al-a-carte restaurants looked great. We did the Italian one, and our picky eating children wouldn't eat anything on the menu! Luckily the chef made them pasta with some red spaghetti sauce - and us grown ups got to enjoy proper food. We had less luck at the other restaurants, so ended up at the buffet every night. Hoping for less pickiness next time we visit! Keep up the amazing work! We will definitely return - and next time will be sooner!
