We embarked on our holiday with some reservations about the recent health concerns but were very pleased that we didn't rebook. The hotel is set on the beach within lovely lush gardens. 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

We just came back from a 10 day stay at the Riu Yucatan where we had our wedding and 40 of our closest friends came to enjoy with us. Now I should tell you that I was one of those people who read this this everyday months before the wedding and was so scared from all the awful reviews- but... more

Let me start off by saying that there is nothing truly wrong with this resort, but as it is the 5th different A.I. resort my wife and I have stayed at in the last 4 years, we believe that a "3" is a reasonable rating, in comparrison to other A.I.'s in the same price range. When checking in, the front... more

We arrived during the swine flu scare so the resort was only at 30%. It was so peaceful. The staff were gracious, polite, fun. Initially I was afraid of the food or the water, given the flu scare I wasnt sure what I would be able to eat. I never once felt uncomfortable, I enjoyed the food, the variety. The... more

this hotel is a little dated. Unfortunately the hotel only had 200 guests due to the flu scare. I understand from other guests that this hotel is usually packed. Very nice staff, very helpful. Beautiful beach and view. Probably the prettiest stretch of beach. Beautiful view from the pool area also. Lots of activities, excursions and entertainment. Wonderful vacation. I... more
