    Great location and property as well as the food buffet options throughout the day is large and fresh. Great for family and kids which have a huge pool for kids next to the adult ones as well as things to do with kids throughout the day.

    I liked that it was not to far from 5th Ave. i especially liked that other Riu hotels in the area was accessible. The staff especially Tony at the front desk was so very helpful.

    the beach access was great. good pools and children were not permitted in the bar pool. very clean and well maintained. upon arrival preferred a different room location and was granted that without issue.

    Mid-Size all inclusive resort , conveniently located on the outskirts of Playa del Carmen. Clean and very friendly staff. Service was perfect. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed ourselves.
  • Victoria

    We liked everything about this resort. Spacious rooms with balcony, insanely huge food and drinks choices, pools, and the beach. Unlike in other resorts, we felt free to move around. Nobody was checking our bracelets or asking our room number....
