Our second visit to Rui playacar hotel in playa de Carmen. The hotel is just as good as last time. Staff are amazing and so friendly. Cleanliness is top notch. Lots and lots to do at this hotel and neighbouring Rui hotels and also with in the nearby vicinity. We did a Tui trip to Tulum and cenotes and Mayan village. It was really interesting and very well organised and Alan the tour guide was really informative. Brilliant holiday all round and will certainly consider returning again next year.

“Great family trip!”

We travelled with our 3 year old son; there was lots to do for him and was still relaxing for us parents ☺️ The resort is nice and small so getting around is not difficult at all.

We booked into Riu Playacar at the last minute as the hotel we originally booked was unavailable. We are very grateful that we did. We have previously stayed at Riu‘s Palace hotels in the playacar area have always been impressed with themRiu Playacar is very similar without all the bells and whistles . It is extremely well organized with eight blocks of rooms each three stories high organized in a European Avenue format leading to the beach. At check-in we were given an upgrade an ocean front room in block seven The room was very well appointed with a fabulous view, overlooking the three pools and the poolside bar and restaurant The morning sunrise and the evening sunset was absolutely spectacular. The bird song in the mornings and views of the birds flying throughout the day were often mesmerizing. However, please note there are no elevators in the hotel and you should take this into consideration if you have mobility issues. There are three buffet restaurants for dinner. One is an international theme, one is Italian and the other is Asian. In addition, there is a Mexican and a steak restaurant that are à la carte. For breakfast there is a single buffet restaurant and a poolside buffet restaurant for lunch. In addition, there is a poolside café that serves hotdogs, hamburgers, etc. The food while not at. New York or Montreal foodie levels, is very tasty well prepared and plentiful. There is no chance anyone would starve at this hotel! There are numerous bars here, but not top shelf alcohol, as I always say after the third drink, you don’t really notice 🤣 There were numerous pool activities and parties throughout the week, but none were overly boisterous While we were at the hotel, we met many people from all over the world, including families with very young children There are three excellent pools, one of which allows you to swim full length so for those people who swim for exercise this is possible first thing in the morning. For those who simply want to seat on the beach, the hotel has one of the best beaches in the area with excellent sand as well as trees for shade. All of the staff were excellent! Very helpful and friendly throughout our stay especially Rosa, our housekeeper and Natalya our regular server Based on our experience, we would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who enjoys a family friendly beachfront hotel. More than this we will certainly return to this hotel again.
