We were supposed to stay at Riu Tequila. But when we checked in, they informed us we were staying at Riu Yucatan. It ended up being a blessing as the room was SO MUCH CLOSER to the beach/pools/bars/etc. The rooms were so-so but were fine. We had a 2-adjoining room set-up for us and our teens, so that was nice. Service and staff was great. Much better than another resort we stayed at last year down the road in Playacar. This was a very cost-efficient trip to Playa Del Carmen. Averaged to be about $200 per person/per day. And that got you unlimited drinks, snacks, meals, and a beautiful beach with tons of activities! Well worth it!

Amazing property and lots of activities both in property and off. Staff is extremely accommodating for needs and assistance- from calling a cab to helping you get in contact with excursion folks for all your activity needs! Several onsite restaurants for different food wants- all inclusive so drinks and restaurants are free (obviously)! Lots of pools - even a swim up bar for the adults! We don’t have kids but if you do, this is a great spot for families! Short 10 min walk to the beach through a private walkway on the RIU property - but they also have a shuttle that comes every 5-10 min if you need a lift! They also have a restaurant/pools at the beach that’s included!

Food quality and selection was poor. 3 out of the 4 restaurants were buffets, serving all similar foods. Steak house was good. Rooms are not quiet at all, can hear everything and everyone around you. For the most part, the service was good. Until I checked out, the gentleman helping seemed lazy and aloof. Didn’t seem willing to help.

This is the worst resort I have ever been in. the room smelled like mold even though it seemed clean, the food at the buffet was absolutey disgusting. my sn had diarreah for 4 days after eating there. the hotel is old and extremely outdated even though the reviews said different, those were clearly lies. the workers seemed miserable only a few of them were smiling and helpful. i had a terrible time, i will never stay at another riu again. theres a reason why they are affordable, i rather spend more money and have a better experience. lesson learned. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME AT THESE RESORTS. ALSO the alcohol was the cheapest most disgusting brand that i have never heard of so i couldnt even get drunk !!!!

The entire family ended up with severe food poisoning requiring doctors visits upon our return from the resort. We didn’t use the tap water for tooth brushing or drinking. The linens had stains and hair on them when we arrived. The “upgraded rooms” are not truly upgraded just fun looking wallpaper added. The mattresses are incredibly old and not comfortable. Our ceiling was leaking water from the light fixtures and maintenance did not come when we called. Instead they decided to wait until morning and woke us up at 7am to do the work they said would be taken care of the night before.
