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.
Rooms were good. A little disappointed in the food at the restaurants. Mixed drinks weren’t as good as some other resorts. Amazing beach. Friendly staff. Resort was clean.
This is such a great location to enjoy the beach and the pool at your own schedule. The bars and food are conveniently placed. The staff are amazing especially when interacting with the kids.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was over scented, but exceptionally clean and the staff was very pleasant. Anyone I encountered in the walkways was courteous and greeted me.
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
Room very clean . Older ,rusty shower tub but other than that excellent.Room steward (Jorge) very friendly and helpful.Entertainment top notch. Restaurant and bar service always pleasent.Beach and pool area maintained clean at all time. Plenty sun loungers and umbrellas.Smoking areas could use a refresher.Overall friendly staff and nice propriety. Stayed here twice in the past years. Recommended .
The hotel was very safe and had so many different entertainment items. The staff was very kind and nice. I loved the fact that you could walk to other Riu's and see the entertainment there. Beach was perfect with palms and beautiful water color. Family hotel
The rooms were clean however the smell of mold was always there. Very dated rooms. Very comfortable beds though.
Staff was great all over. Better entertsjnment than most all- includives ive been to.
Resort was very clean everywhere you went. You never saw anything left on tables or dirty tables anywhere.
You can't go wrong with staying at the Riu Yucatan. Lots of fun
The resort was average. The food at the buffet was not as good as most I’ve stayed at. The Steakhouse was the only food I’d consider to be of good quality. Pool area felt crowded. Rooms were very clean and staff was friendly.
