2nd time to this hotel, 6th time to Mexico. Reason return visit was due to the location and the beach, I must say the beach is awesome, service is really good, especially at the bars and a special mention must go to Benito and Eduardo as they are just excellent. Management are excellent, special thanks to Julian (director) and Joseph... More

My wife and I spent 2 weeks here from 19th January. We had a couple of reservations before we went; the size of the place and some of the poorer reviews on this forum. We did however travel with an open mind to judge the place ourselves and what a great time we had. Unless you are a very picky... More

Do not listen to the complainers. They obviously just can't be pleased with anything. I spent a week at the Riu Yucatan with my Fiance and 2 friends from January 24th,2012 to January 31st, 2012 and we had the most amazing time. This is my 4th time in Mexico and it just keeps getting better. Yes maybe the beds arn't... More

We travelled in the first two weeks of Jan 2012. We had a fantastic time at the Yucatan. We thought the food was fantastic and plentiful- I do agree with a review of the themed restuarants in that are average but they do make a nice change. The beach and the walk along the sea front to playa del carmen... More
