    Thanks for an excellent holiday

    Due to our appalling experience at our hotel in Cozume which is managed by another Spanish-owned chain of hotels, we booked the Rui Yucatan as our dive centre was in the hotel next door. We were a bit apprehensive before arriving but were pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of the Check-in staff. Special thanks to Chris and Danny. As we requested a room as close as possible to the beach we had to wait a little but were allowed to use the facilities including the bars and restaurants. We are given a large modern room with loads of storage, really comfortable beds and room spotlessly clean. Large free safe and fridge filled with all-inclusive drinks. There were even four optics of various spirits to drink. Spent our days diving away or on the beach which was cleaned regularly. The hotel staff did a great job keeping the whole area clean. All the staff we met were very professional and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The food in the buffet restaurant was well cooked and presented and there was a massive choice each morning and evening. We ate in the Italian and Asian restaurants. The Asian was great although it was a buffet. The Italian was my favourite. The drinks at the bars were very good with well-made cocktails and named brands spirits available at no extra charge. Overall we had a great holiday in Mexico. Thank you Riu Yucatan. Thanks to all the hard-working staff who never stop ensuring the guests are happy from the cleaners to animation to the bar and restaurant staff. Would I return, YES for sure. I would certainly recommend this hotel and its sister hotels Tequila and Playacar whose facilities you can use.

    My Happy Place

    We first stayed at Riu Yucatan 23years ago and got married there! Since then it has changed with modernisation (though I loved the carriage in the foyer) and has never disappointed. This was our 5th stay and we are now considering making a yearly trip to stay there. The place is beautiful!
