Hotel Riu Playacar 5*

Our stay at the Riu Playacar was excellent. We were there for 2 weeks and could not have asked for a better experience. The rooms were very nice with a well stocked mini bar, and were well cleaned everyday with fun, different towel creations! All the staff were amazing, from the pool bar, especially Orlando, who was very on top of keeping our drinks full whilst around the pool, to the entire entertainment team, who were amazing. Bernie who carried out water aerobics everyday, was extremely enthusiastic and made the sessions lots of fun! “Sexy Felix” was great fun, from the 4pm bingo to after show dancing. He is extremely memorable for all the right reasons, with his high energy never fading. He will be remembered by his personalised badges which he gives out! Johnathon was lovely, very enthusiastic and helped us have as much fun as possible at all times. Both Felix and Johnathon were extremely attentive to my family throughout our stay, always taking the time to chat with us and make us feel welcome, going above and beyond. The entire entertainment team worked incredibly hard all day everyday, to create a fun, friendly atmosphere that made our holiday that much better. The variety of restaurants were amazing, with extremely nice food, and incredibly attentive staff. They could not have been more friendly. It is hard to even pick a favourite restaurant, they were all so good. Both the white and neon parties were so much fun. Again, showing how hard the entertainment staff at all the hotels work. It was very engaging and great to bring all hotels together. Last but not least, Coco Bongo is definitely worth a visit. It was amazing - the performers and the atmosphere! We would definitely return to Riu Playacar!

For a 7-night stay on the Mayan Riviera the resort met expectations. Very large resort, with nice spaces and very clean. The buffets for breakfast and lunch were quite complete, the meat restaurant was very good. The Asian, Italian and Mexican were ok. The beach is very beautiful, my stadium was in June and had a lot of sargaço.. however the staff strive for the cleaning it is totally impossible to withdraw all that amount (although we went to the sea almost every day anyway). The variety of drinks, at all times, is immense. Animation ok and great staff.
