We just returned from a week's stay (May 4 -11). We actually went to attend a friend's wedding at the resort. The weather was great. We came home with great tans. Beach was better shape than expected. The rooms were ok but the beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Maid service was good. The food was mediocre and the selection... more

Alright, Here is the real deal. We have been to many of places in regards to all inclusive and cruises. I will not compare them to each other because there are too many different circumstances to be totally objective. The Riu Yucatan in a 3 star resort at best. The positives: nice grounds, friendly helpful staff that want to please... more

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
