Loved the hotel and the fact that you could easily walk to and use the Riu Tequila and Riu Playacar facilities during the day. This made a pleasant change of scenery and you could still get AI drinks and food. Mosquitoes - try using the local spray (cheapest from Walmart) called Off, in an orange spray can. However the best... more

We were very impressed at the elegance of the resort upon the first glance of the lobby. The room was kept very clean, the staff was friendly and always greeted us with a friendly, "hola," in passing. The bar staff kept the drinks coming, and provided their own style of entertainment as well. The food on all the buffets was... more

Stayed at this hotel the first 2 weeks in October and could no fault if. The food was good perhaps not the choice in the main restaurant as we have had in the last few previous rius that we have stayed in but sometimes I think you can have too much choice. The food in the 3 speciality restaurants were... more

We have stayed at quite a few all-inclusive resorts, in this area and up and down the Mayan Riviera. It was our first time at a RIU, having favored the Iberostars mainly. We were here with a very large group of 30-35 for a destination wedding (our son), mainly 20-30 years in age with a few of us older ones.... more

We stayed at the riu yucatan from the 16th september for 2 weeks flying from east midlands with Thomson. The flight was fine, we were sat in the premium seats and i must say for a long haul flight it was definately worth the money. Our Transfer to the hotel just just over an hour but it wasn't too bad... more

We were scheduled to stay at the Tequila, upon checking in they upgraded us to the Yucatan. The Yucatan sits on the beach and the beach is amazing. It looks like a scene out of a Corona commercial. The hotel itself was average but all the the smiling employees made it much more enjoyable. I would go back for the... more
