We where actually suprized by this property. We had a good room, great meals and the pool bar staff was a lot of fun! We where there with 4 other couples to celebrate my girlfriends "big" birthday and the location and price was perfect! The beach is being worked on and hopefully will someday be as great as it was... more

We booked with Sunquest Vacations and we wouldnt use them again, The rep that was at the hotel recommend tours to us to take and which ones not to take, The ones he recommended were a waste of money and the ones he told us were garbage were the best ones. We stayed at the Riu Yucatan and the grounds... more

Having read trip advisor reviews prior to our stay at Riu Yucatan we were apprehensive about our stay, particularly since we have never been all inclusive before.Reports about the disappearance of the beach we feel were somewhat exaggerated - looking at the wave breakers in place this errosion has been ongoing for a number of years not in the past... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 2 week holiday in the Riu Yucatan. Having stayed in many inclusive hotels in the Caribbean we found this hotel of average quality, certainly not the best. The rooms were clean and the staff very attentive and efficient but overall the décor was tired and gloomy. The food was plentiful and... more

My wife and teenage son spent several days at Riu Yucatan and had a great time there. The food was great, the staff helpful and everything went well. I also recommend taking a taxi to Playa del Carmen. The beach was eroded, limiting space, but we had little trouble finding a place to sunbathe, and we also had little trouble... more

I've been to Playa and Canun several times. I tried not to compare this hotel to the last one we stayed at which was The Royal in Playa. I just intended to have 3 nights to relax. First off, the reviews about fighting for pool chairs is correct. I have never been to a hotel that had such problems. We... more

Booked thru Americn Airlines (used miles) with Olympus tours as transport to/from hotel The hotel was very clean, staff very friendly. Grounds were very tropical and... more
