Riu Playacar

We've had a fantastic stay at the Ruu Playcar. The rooms are spacious and well decorated with an iron, coffee machine, stocked fridge, mini bar and optics, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. The bed was huge and so comfy and the room was spotlessly cleaned each day by Maria. The food in the three restaurants we ate in was excellent, with plenty of fresh selection. All the waiting and bar staff we're friendly, especially Uli in the pool bar and Troy on the lobby bar. The hotel in positioned a short walk from the other Riu hotels, in which we used the facilities in the evening. Theres also a small shopping center and good outdoor bar just across the road. Playa del Carmen is a short taxi ride away. I would definitely recommend and will return.

Absolutely brilliant 2 weeks, staff are absolutely great, they work so hard, should be paid a lot more! Rooms immaculate, pools lovely, and the entertainment staff are fab! White and neon parties,pool parties are a must, dont miss them! Special shout out to Berni, I had a great time in his exercise classes every day. He's doinv a great job entertaining everyone! Enrique, also, hes one of the waiters, wears orange uniform, he has a smile gor everyone and works so hard. Playa del Carmen is just along the road its great, the vendors will ask you to go in their shops, just politely say no, they are all very nice. Only downsides, sargassum was really bad and the Americans got a bit lairy, security kept them in check though! It was our second time, loved it!

This was my family’s second time going to a Riu resort in Playa Del Carmen and it was just as amazing as the first time! Our personal favourite activity was the aqua-fit (lead by the amazing Bernie)! Head down to the pool bar to have an amazing chat with Sergio, Alexis, Adolfo, and Ule, who are the friendliest bartenders I’ve ever met (and always have a great drink recommendation). Every morning we were greeted at breakfast with a friendly smile and good morning from Omar. I strongly recommend to try every restaurant at least once. My personal favourites were the Asian restaurant and the steak house, where we had the absolute best servers Mijail, Eduardo, Lizabeth, Hugo, Mauricio, Gina, and Gabriel. There are also a wide range of activities throughout the day everywhere from dance lessons to bingo, lead by Felix, Karla, Tina, and Jessica. And finally a huge shout out to Raquel and Oscar as well as the rest of the cleaning, landscaping, and facility maintenance staff who work incredibly hard to provide a clean and beautiful place to enjoy. Overall we had an amazing vacation and thank you so much to all of the staff who made that possible!
