It was good. Our riu transport to the hotel didn’t arrive and we had to go into a very old and small ride when we paid for a nice one for 8. We asked for two beds and we could only get 1 so we had to share. And that was awkward because there was no door on the bathroom or shower so you could see the person naked in the shower. The tv was old, melting and broken. There was only 1 plug on one side of the bed. All the staff were amazing. From cleaning to entertainment and servers.

The location and beach was amazing. The rooms were clean and nice but simple. The food was a B to B+, definitely have had better food elsewhere. The whole experience was still absolutely worth it as the beach and pool setup are the best I've seen in the area.

To many people most times at buffet no food one time I got a plate went thru line and found nothing to eat. It seemed the staff could not keep up with supplying food for all the people. Also no access to bathroom from beach or pools the ones available where quite aways away. Did not see many using the restrooms behind theater which makes me think they were peeing in pool which I never went in because of this. The staff was great rooms were nice my opinion need closer rest rooms and a better system to supply food to all the people

I have been to Mexico many many times so i have a good understanding of what the resorts offer and should look like depending on Price point. I had never stayed at a RIU resort so i went in with good hope. This resort is listed as a 5 star resort, they advertise it on a big sign and it lights up at night. If you're going to give yourself 5 stars then it should reflect it everywhere. The RIU Yucatan falls VERY short of 5 stars. I rated this 3 stars primarily due to the grounds, beached and pools. The rooms we were give were of the level of a Motel 6 at best here in the states. My family and i booked 2 rooms (6 People) Both rooms were dingy, peeling paint, Poor ventilation, scratched and stained furniture and our 1st set of rooms had ants everywhere. 1 of the things i dont understand about the rooms is that the shower is essentially in your BR, the glass door has no privacy, i can understand if its just you and your significant others but what about when you have children in the room? Makes no sense that you cant have any privacy. The rooms are dated and need a massive overhaul. The drinks were good in the main lobby other than that all watered down. We were given new rooms after the 2nd day which were cleaner and didn't make my wife cough so we were thankful for that but still the same rooms, extremely dated and on the small side. No elevators to go up and down either so keep that in mind if you're on the 2nd or 3rd floors... All in all i would stay away, nothing special.
