Pretty average hotel experience- don’t expect anything too luxurious. The aesthetic of the resort is outdated with an early 00s vibe, including the rooms which had almost florescent lighting and probably one of the least comfortable beds I’ve had in a hotel recently. Wouldn’t recommend for a solo traveler as it seems to be more popular for families or couples. Food at the buffet wasn’t the greatest quality but also wasn’t terrible. Loved the location- sitting on the balcony felt like being in a jungle and the beach area was great. About a 40 min walk into Playa del Carmen which can feel long but very safe. Staff were all very friendly.

RIU Yucatán is located in a private , gated community. It is all inclusive with a buffet, and several specialty restaurants including Mexican , Italian and Steak House. It is a beautiful resort that is meticulously maintained. It's beach is one of the best I've ever visited. Daily entertainment. Staff is friendly and attentive. Rooms have programable safes. You have exchange privileges with 3 other RIU properties near by. Small shopping area with in walking distance.

My party of six stayed at the Riu Yucatan the last week in Jan 2025. Overall, we had a good time. Here are some of the Pro’s and Con’s: Pro: Beach. One of the most beautiful we have seen in 20 years of international all-inclusive resorts. Pools. They were clean. However, they did need some maintenance (many missing tiles, cracks in concrete edge, etc). The foam party was a favorite. Resort size. Small enough to walk, large enough for a decent size pools. Shared privileges with two other resorts within walking distance. We went to a Neon Party at the Tequila (it was awesome) ! Shopping is also walking distance. Room . Very clean rooms. Housekeeping did a very nice job. It was nice to have a coffee maker in the room. Staff. All attentive and polite. Staff, in charge of activities, did a great job. Con: Alcohol. No top-shelf spirits (no Grey Goose, Tito’s, or Absolut vodka). Management says that you need to stay in a higher tier resort for that luxury. Food. Plentiful and tasty. Although, a little redundant after 7 days. The specialty restaurants were average. It was nice to not need a reservation for any of them. Elevator. None. They have it on their website but you may miss it. The room buildings are three floors. Sounds like there is limited king-size beds on the ground floor. If you are going for the beach and ocean view, I highly recommend. If you are going for the pool, you might want to shop around.

Overall, a nice week away. Lovely beach and pools. Buffet food was good and lots to choose from. A la carte restaurants were disappointing. Not the quality you would expect. Entertainment was also disappointing. Not enough local culture. No Mexican dancers or mariachi bands at night. Diva show, Michael Jackson show and Karaoke were disappointing. So much better talent in Mexico.
