RIU Playacar was a great resort and we enjoyed our time there. It was smaller than others I have been at but was a nice change and worked for my family as I have two teenage daughters and they were able to navigate the resort together and without us at times, and I felt completely comfortable with that. Beach and Pool: There was sand volleyball every day on the beach, which was a plus. The beach was gorgeous and well-kept with lots of palm trees closer to the resort. There was never a shortage of chairs, although if you have a big party and want many together, you may need to get there a little earlier for pool chairs if you want a particular location. There were two pools that were smaller than others I've been at, but they were clean and nice. There was also a pool with a swim up bar. Entertainment: There weren't tons of on-going planned activities during the day, but we enjoyed the Coconut Party (dancing, fresh coconuts), and the acrobats. There was also an evening party called the Neon Party with a sister resort. Don't miss it! In the evenings, there were shows every night in an open aired theater area, often with live music before and/or afterwards. Food: There was a small snack bar open during the day, two buffet areas (one for breakfast and one for lunch), and 4 four restaurants available for evening meals (Italian, Asian, Mexican and Steakhouse). No reservations required, although sometimes there was a brief wait. The drinks were good (get the Mango Tango!).

The 4 restaurants are poor in menu, the entrée are only buffet… not gastronomic. the security on the beach is absent, you get stolen stuff from people walking around. The sea activity: the staff are not employes of the hotel... you have to be careful . the alcohol is very basic... sheep alcohol. Entertainment is very poor in creativity, they use the guess to doo activity and there entertainment are people how sing… very boring.

Loved the little gal that runs around getting everyone excited about the activities, I believe her name is Katiyna. The buffet food is average, but enjoyed the sit down restaurants very good food in all of them, the only one we didnt try was the Japanese one. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
