Riscalillo Beach Tours

The friendliness and consideration of ALL the staff,made our stay special.They suggested the upgrades and food discounts without us prompting and were always attentive to our needs. The rooms were clean and well appointed and felt luxurious, if you step out make sure to have mosquito spray! The grounds are better than the photos,the beach was great for me but very quite this end of the island. A short bumpy taxi ride will put you in the town in 10 minutes and costs around $12.00. Overall our stay was great and relaxing.

The food is horrible, the buffet is trash!!!

We had a great time at Playacar Palace! Room was lovely- we got an upgrade to full ocean view. Staff is amazing, so friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious- my only note would be I wish the buffet was open every night, sometimes a dress up dinner is too much. Pool is fun, activity directors are great. I do wish they had more night life- things are pretty quiet by 10 pm. There was some impact from the seaweed problems in the area, but the hotel had workers/ trucks out there every morning working like crazy to clear the beach. By the end of the week it was much better. It is out of their control, unfortunately, but they are on top of it. My family went on many excursions and this is a great location for a home base for adventures- or if chilling by the pool is your thing, it’s great for that too! I feel like it’s smaller than some resorts, but I liked that! Highly recommend!
