About Riu Playacar - All Inclusive
Riu Playacar - All Inclusive is made for the kind of holiday where the biggest daily decision is where to sit next. It is a five-star, beachfront resort in the Playacar area of Playa del Carmen, and 509 guest reviews average 8.7. Eating and drinking revolve around a restaurant, a bar and a pool bar. Themed dinner nights break up the routine, and a kid-friendly buffet helps families with younger travelers. Our vacation specialists can walk you through exactly what your chosen rate covers before you book.
Days here start close to the water. The resort fronts the beach, where loungers and umbrellas are set out for slow afternoons and snorkelling is there for the curious. When you'd rather swap sand for a pool, the outdoor pool has a shallow end for easing in, and the resort also has a kids' pool and a pool bar. A garden and BBQ facilities give the grounds a calmer corner, and outdoor furniture makes it easy to settle in with a book.
Families have plenty to work with. There is a kids' club and a children's playground, plus babysitting and child services, so parents can plan an hour or two of their own. As the sun goes down, the pace shifts. An entertainment team, live music and performances, themed dinner nights and live sport broadcasts fill the evening, and the nightclub with a DJ is there for anyone who wants to keep going after dinner. If you'd rather slow down, the resort offers a spa/wellness center, massage services, beauty services, a public bath and a barber/beauty shop, and the fitness center covers a morning workout.
Everyday logistics are handled on site. Free WiFi and free parking are available, and a tour desk and car hire help you plan outings beyond the resort. A minimarket, an ATM and currency exchange sit on the property, along with laundry and luggage storage. The 24-hour front desk and 24-hour security mean arrivals and questions are covered at any hour, and check-out is at 12:00 PM.
