Great hotel
me and my family stayed at RIU Playacar for just under 2 weeks and had a great time. The hotel was stunning and the RIU staff were very welcoming. We booked a standard double room which was very spacious and clean. The cleaners would come in everyday and clean the room. The only thing I noticed was that the drinks fridge was not refilled every 2 days as it stated. This left us without some drinks in the room some days. The pool was lovely and the beach was nice. Lots and lots of seaweed but I know that’s unavoidable. The all inclusive buffet was amazing. There was many choices of food and drinks. We all enjoyed the pool bar and the drinks they had to offer. I noticed around the pool bar there were hundreds of wasps flying around near the drinks ingredients which was a bit off putting. The staff didn’t seem bothered by this 🤣. We participated in some water sports which were great. Alexander from ScubaCaribe was so good. He helped us to pick the best trips and messaged my partner with updates throughout our transfer to and from the trips! The Coco Bongo staff were quite harassing, we understood that this was their job however it was quite difficult to relax at some points. Just be aware about this before staying here. Overall we would stay here again as the staff were lovely and the food was great!
Excellent in every way
Loved this hotel! First time in an all inclusive and the food was fantastic as was Nestor , our waiter. Would fully recommend this hotel, quieter than the sister hotels . Special praise for Bernie , who ran the entertainment. He was excellent!

Great holidays in Mexico
I have to say that rooms where very clean and restaurants as well, the staff in general were very polite and helpful. The only thing I would point is the lack of air condition in lobby or in the front bar.
