The grounds are beautiful but the rooms are old and need to be updated. Our AC worked about half the time and every time we called for service they said it would take 24 hours. The food was very good and the staff worked very hard. The entertainment during the day was very lame. There was also nothing to do... more

We stayed at this hotel last year on our honeymoon. It was excellent! The rooms were large and clean and included a free mini bar which was kept well stocked as part of the all inclusive package. The pools were lovely and had plenty of room around them for everyone. We were allowed to use the facilities at the surrounding... more

Stayed at the RIU YUCATAN for the last week in Jan and first week Feb 09. The resort is in a very safe gated area with a 25 min walk into Playa Del Carmen. The rooms are a bit basic with no tea/coffee making facilities but they do have a mini bar, the beds are very hard and take some... more

It is kept spotlessly clean by very hard working, friendly staff who are always pleasant and polite. Our room was spacious,well decorated and had all that we needed... more

My son (age 19) and I stayed at the RIU Yucatan during a visit to the area. Great location, right on the beach and within walking distance to town. Our room was clean and the service was great. We were there during the swine flu mess, so it was very quiet. Even so, we enjoyed everything about the resort. The... more

We stayed in the Riu Yucatan during July 2008. We've been meaning to write this for some time but....doesn't time fly by. Anyway, we thought we'd now write a quick review on our stay for anyone who is about to go to this great hotel, particularly for their wedding day. We chose this hotel via Thomson which included a wedding... more

My husband and I visited the RYP from 5/27/09-6/2/09. I can say that we honestly enjoyed ourselves it was a fun relaxing, and awsome vacation, I had absolutely no complaints what so ever. Room-was exstreamly clean, no dirt anywhere, they take pride in cleaning the resort rooms and it shows, a word of advise though no matter how clean the... more

We just returned from Playa Del Carmen, on May 22nd, where we stayed at the Riu Yucatan. I would definitely recommend this resort. We were scheduled to stay at the Riu Playacar, but due to the lack of tourists, we were moved to the Riu Yucatan. I am so glad, it was wonderful! In my opinion, I don't think anyone... more
