Me and my family using this resort since 2003. Unfortunately is getting worse. Everything is lower level. Food is every day the same, pool is very dirty! Before pool was cleaning every day, now you come in the morning, and can see some stuff inside since yesterday. Entertainment much, much worse!!!!! It's mark on the gate with 5 stars, I would give 3 the most. Resort lost presentation. Staff is good, except entertainment, but management needs to be changed. They are never smile, never say "HELLO". Now, unfortunately , beach has a lot of seaweed. We understand it's nature, but for almost 2 weeks we smelled huge pile of old seaweed. Management wouldn't able to manage stuff . They came in the morning, look it and after 15 minutes left, but those huge pilots still there. If it's your goal to bring this resort down, you made it! So many people are disappointed. Resort is not only alcohol 24/7 it's more to that. I hope you will bring back our favorite Riu Yucatan!

You know what you are getting when you book RIU

Our 8 nt stay at the RIU Yucatan was great. The resort was very clean as were ALL the employees. The beach and pools were well kept. We have been to Cancun, Playa del Carmen, 7 times and also to Punta Cana and Jamaica. We have stayed at RIU as we know what we will get, happiness. Highly recommend the RIU brand.

Great location, close to 5th avenue shopping district. Very pretty beach and pool area. Food wasn't great. Went out for dinner each night to get some better variety.

A fantastic stay in Rivera Maya!

Pros: The staff is absolutely incredible. You can see monkeys and other animals every day. RIU tequila has a sports bar near the stage of you want a game.
Cons: I am not a big fan of white...white walls, white buildings, white furniture. I know that that is the latest trend.
Location: RIU Tequila does is not located on the beach-but runs a shutlle fron the Yucatan beach to the Tequila. You can ride it there.
Just returned from a week at the RIU Yucatan. There are two other RIU's plus the palace-all right by each other. Staying at Yucata allows you to visit the Playacar and Tequila resorts anytime that you like and eat-drink and use the facilities at no extra charge. The Yucatan proerty itself is a litte dated-but we quickly learned that the service, food and people that work there take great pride and made the vacation truly great. There are no ocean view rooms-so it really does not matter where you end up. Rooms have a fridge with beer and soda and there is the "Mini bar" with full sized bottels of Rum, Tequila, Vodka and Gin. We called the front desk for extra soda-and they arrived-much to my surprise...rooms are spotless and has an in room safe, walk in shower, large closet an ironing board, hairdryer etc. No reservations required at any specialty restuaraunt-except the Mexican. We ate at the steak place and italian-both were very good. No long pants required for men-but shorts and collared shirts. They have top shelf alcohol if you want-Jonnie Walker, Absolute, Captain Morgan, Appleton-you name it-but remember that you have to ask for it in your drink A cab ride to Playa Del Carmen is 90 Peso's each way. You are better off paying in Peso's for cab rides. A ferry ride to Cozmel will cost $200 Pesos-round trip. The Lobby bar is open 24 hours a day. On the day shift little Beatrice works the lobby bar-CALL HER BETTY and she will be your new BFF! THE STAFF IS INCREDIBLE!!

Best time ever

Pros: Three pools to choose from and you're right on the beach. The food is unbelievable. Shows and entertainment nightly
Cons: Benches along the walkway from the lobby to the beach would be great for the elderly and disabled.
Location: Shopping is within walking distance, (the marketplace) A short cab ride to the town of Playa del Carmen, restaurants and more shopping
This was our 2nd time at The Riu Yucatan and we will go back again next year. You cannot beat this Hotel for service, atmosphere, FOOD, and value. The staff is amazing!
