    Everything you need!

    Me and my mum stayed here for 11 nights and loved every minute of it. The main attraction to us was the onsite beach location! Despite the seaweed issues that Mexico has, we couldn't fault the beach, or the hotel for that matter. Clean rooms, plenty of choice in the restaurants, and very friendly and polite staff, especially the cleaners which you don't see everywhere! Loved having the animals roaming around too, it made it even more authentic and had a good feel to the hotel and surrounding area. A short walk gets you to a nice nearby shopping area which we felt fairly safe doing so being two women together, and a short taxi away to Playa del Carmen. Highly recommend this hotel/location!

    Will return!

    Absolutely fantastic. Food was better than any previous Riu we've visited. Fun wildlife running around the grounds. Great pools, staff and nice big beach.

    Fun Family Vacation

    Great trip for a family vacation! Everyone was so kind and a big shout out to our bartender Filiberto! We will definitely return to Riu Yucatan!

    Wonderful

    Just got back from our Yucatan visit....very happy with our experience! It was very busy as it was March break, but we never were without great service and an abundance of terrific food. Can't say enough about the Italian restaurant, as well as the Asian buffet (what a treat!) All buffets were constantly replenished....just fantastic. Towels on pool lounges was a problem, but if you get up before the sun you can grab a few. Manuel serving at the pool side cart always happy to provide cold canned beer for a break from draft. He was lovely! Betty at the lounge bar also primo service! Asta La Vista Baby! Would highly recommend :o)

    Get your towels and run to the pool deck asap! But that’s not allowed right?

    Hotel staff was mostly very nice and accommodating, but for $150 per person a day could you expect less? Want low quality steaks and mediocre dining in a fishbowl of gluttony? Look no further! Want to get kicked out of your cabana by a hotel employee to make way for someone who set towels on chairs hours earlier, despite signs everywhere saying you can’t reserve seats? You found the spot! Is your pool experience lacking vomit? Thank goodness you found RIU! Book now!
