Great Stay at Riu Playacar We enjoyed our stay at this clean, well-organized resort with spacious, quiet rooms (ours had no balcony, but it was fine). The minibar was a nice touch, and the bathroom was spotless. Highlights: ✔ Food variety – Multiple à-la-carte restaurants (dinner reservations not needed) and buffets with good lunch/breakfast options. ✔beach – Plenty of sunbeds but no umberalla so bring your sunscreen, though pools get crowded les sunbeds. ✔ Access to sister hotels – Party lovers can visit Riu Tequila’s club nearby. ✔ Convenient location – Mini-market across the street, and Playa del Carmen (5th Ave) is just a 150-peso taxi ride away. ✔ Easy airport transfer – ADO bus (250 pesos/person, 45-min ride + 5-min taxi 150 pesos next to ado turism station). Minor drawbacks: ✖ No elevators – Tough for guests with mobility issues. ✖ Entertainment hiccups – The host sometimes forgot to switch back to English after Spanish announcements. Perfect for: Travelers who want good value, variety, and proximity to Playa’s nightlife.

We had a great stay. The people are very friendly, and it was wonderful to return to a clean room every day. The housekeeping staff are excellent and always ensure we are cared for. Being directly on the beach was a highlight for the kids, and they loved the pools. We rented a car for the week at the airport, and it was nice to have parking at the hotel. Although the food was average, as other reviewers stated, there was always good fresh fruit, salads, and variety. We enjoyed the buffets over the different dining options. If having many great dining options is important to you, this might be a limiting factor, but we felt we got a good value overall. One downside was that our hotel keys were deactivated almost every day. We recommend that the hotel get this fixed, as it happened to us and the other family we traveled with, and it was especially frustrating after a long day. The grounds are nice and clean, and seeing some local wildlife was super fun. The spider monkey that decided to take a few minutes to lie in the hotel lobby made our day. Riuland did a great job over easter with many activities for the kids. My kid had a great time. Thank you for a good trip!

Clean room and grounds/property well kept. Bed was comfy a little too firm for me but the wife liked it so that’s a win. We upgraded to a partial ocean view room and the balcony did have a very nice view. Upgrade didn’t cost much. Hard-working, friendly, cheerful staff. Requested extra pillows. Extra pillows delivered in 20 minutes. Requested extra coffee for the room. Extra coffee delivered in 20 minutes. We were fine with the food. Breakfast and lunch were good and dinner buffet had many options so there. Neat little shopping mall across the street with a Starbucks. Beautiful beach and plenty of loungers. The walk into town was a little long for me. I am 61. 10 bucks for a cab. That’s doable. Definitely recommend this resort just wish they had some mid range booze. Jack Daniel’s at least. Got stuck with Johnny Walker Red.

Liked not having to make reservations for special dinners . The beach bars were awesome and that they brought out popsicles and ice cream to beach. Loved the coconut party. Loved playing the games on beach every day. EVERY worker was king, friendly, and hard working ! The bands were great. We LOVE Riu
