About the only good thing I can say about Riu Yucatan is that the grounds are nice. It was at least a 10 minute walk from my room to the beach. The food was awful. The rooms were hot. I'm back to staying at a hotel or condo in town from now on.

We went to the Riu Yucatan 2 years ago for 3 weeks and we are going back again in December this year for another 3 weeks. Nothing to fault. Sea, sand and drink.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel, it was a nice relaxing vacation, the food was great, the bar staff was very outgoing and made you laugh, we had a wonderful experience except for when we would go down to the beach or the pool at 10:00 am there would be no Chairs available to sit in, due to people taking towels and putting them in The lounge chairs to save a chair I know this was probably due to the riu Tequila also sharing the beach, so it made the beach a little over-crowded At times. Other than that the hotel Riu Yucatan is a great place.
