The only thing that I disliked about the room was the lack of a barrier between living space and bathroom. No privacy. Even amongst family a bit of privacy is necessary especially in a bathroom. One of the dumbest designs I’ve ever seen in a room. This will keep me from booking here in the future.

Food was not great: cold, under or over cooked. Bar tender didn’t know how to make drinks. There was no transportation to local parks unless booked through RIU. Restaurants should have more healthy choices. Restaurants should stay open later. Room has a bathtub next to the bed. Not a nice look.

The entertainment left a little to be desired. If you don't want to go to the White Party (only at Riu Tequila) on Fridays, there is no alternative entertainment at ANY of the other Riu hotels in Playacar.

Generally hotel is good, clean, tidy, well maintained, fresh and new. Rooms are modern and clean, rooms cleans every day, with high hygiene standards. Food is fresh and has all that you need. Sandy beach is fantastic, water 28 degree C, its enough seats and beach towels. Main disadvantage - hotel is crowded, lines are everywhere, and noisy, laud music with low quality sound gear somewhat confusion for dream vacation. Short stay for honeymoon ceremony, big group of people - target audience for this hotel. Was it worth for money spend? Definitely. Has this hotel its own magic spirit - not at all. Sorry for that

Disliked: Amenities
Not kid friendly, would not recommend to families with kids. They had a white party where 2 men started fighting and my daughter was exposed to it. They did not handle the situation well I had to tell them to take the men out. The foam party had women in thongs shaking their butts and my daughters saw this also the foam party was dangerous my 10 year old almost drowned. Riuland is a joke it’s tiny, there’s not much to do with kids would not go back. We had 2 rooms with 1 main door, the staff kept opening the main door without knocking and my daughters were showing so unexceptable! If the main door is closed they shouldn’t go in without knocking.

All of the staff was amazing, nice, courteous and happy to serve. The food was great at all restaurants and the hotel was gorgeous. They kept the place spotless and clean. We felt so welcomed and special. This is a place I will certainly go back too.

We had a pleasant stay at Riu Palace Riviera Maya. The hotel is beautiful, very clean, and the housekeeping team does an excellent job. I also loved the 24-hour lounge — it’s convenient and well maintained. The only downside is that the resort territory is quite small. There are four pools + one tiny pool for kids, but there isn’t much entertainment for kids. There is a kids’ club, but the area is tiny and the evening activities last only about 30 minutes. The staff really tries their best to make the stay enjoyable, but compared to other resorts with bigger kids’ clubs and more activities, it falls a bit short. We went for a walk for other Riu Hotels in the same area, and they looked nice.

My only two complains were testing of the fire alarm during early morning (5-6 am) and the VERY LOUD room A/C. It worked like a charm, but the loud thunder noice it emitted when it kicked on kept waking me up. I wish there was some kind of white noise to muffle it.
