My partner, Paul, and I had a great time, we returned on 16.02.2012 and spent 14 nights at the resort. The beds were a little hard, however, a s has been previously pointed out, can be remedied with a mattress topper. We were able to visit other resorts, Yucatan and Tequila, which offered more in the way of evening entertainment... More

We booked a Signature Vacations 5 star Mayan Mystery on the Beach vacation and ended up at the Riu Playacar. It was not a 5 star resort (but maybe classed as one because you can visit some of the other Riu resort pools and restaurants). But we still had a great two week vacation and for the price we paid...

We were there for a week and returned last week. The hotel is very clean and the service is excellent. The entertainment people work so hard to keep you happy and they were the best!!They have awesome night shows and we were never bored. The food was excellent also! I am amazed at how well the workers work and how... More

I was thinking how to title the review "RIU catastrophe" or "Could be good 3 stars resort". I chose first one as we paid for 5 stars. I will not compare it with RIU Palace; let’s compare it for example with 4 stars Barcelo Maya beach we visited last year. Resort: It is very old. I would not say it... More

Karla Elizonda is the best activities director ever. She made sure everyone was involved and having fun. Thanks Karla!!! It was awesome how they made sure you were always having fun. Scuba... More

We just spent one week at the Riu Playacar which was a wonderful holiday! The service & staff were very friendly & always there to help if you needed them. The resort is small enough that you never have to walk far to get from one place to another. The rooms were always clean and large enough for two people... More

Just got home from 7 great days at Riu Playacar. Outline below: Rooms - small but very clean, plenty of hot water, lots of TV channels and the mini bar well stocked. Dinning - buffets were great, the fresh donnuts and breads were out of this world! The steak house was wonderful. Make sure to make your reservations by 7am... More

The Playacar was overall a good choice. I might have preferred something a little more extravagant, but it was a great value. I've never done an all-inclusive before, so that took a little getting used to. It took us a while to get the hang of reserving a spot for dinner ("signing up" would be a better term), but eventually... More

Just returned from the Playacar on January 28th. The Playacar is a wonderful, small, low key resort with wonderful helpful staff. The staff will do anything to make your holiday great! We had an issue with the shower and within 5 minutes there was someone there to fix it. The beds are hard but asked for a mattress pad and... More
