I just spent a short visit at the RIU Playacar and enjoyed it thoroughly. As a traveller I have come to expect a certain amount dissatisfaction when travelling, however, this was not the case here.

Just returned from a week long all inclusive package at the Riu Playacar (Playa Del Carmen). I couldn't give this hotel a better rating than "average" because Riu Resorts lists all hotels as 5 star on their website.

The only negative I can give on the cleanliness is the pool area (water and restrooms nearby) need to be cleaned mid day. So many people in the pool... More
