Great hotel, awesome all inclusive. Not the same quality bar as the Palace resorts but for the money you cannot complain. If you want top shelf booze stay at the palace brand. We have stayed at both at they are a different crowd at each but for a fun group this resort is hard to beat. The beach is overcrowded... more

It's taken some time to post this review, but that's what public holidays are for!! We travelled to the Riu Yucatan as a group of 16 for my little sisters wedding, and the whole experience at the hotel was fantastic. One or two gripes to get out of the way that in no way spoilt the holiday as a whole... more

This was our first trip to Mexico and won't be our last. We booked the holiday as a wedding package and got married in the grounds of the Riu Yucatan which turned out to be perfect and completely hassle free. We were upgraded on arrival to the best suite in the hotel (huge sitting room, huge balcony, double bathroom etc)... more

Me and my girlfriend stayed at the Riu Yucatan in August. I must say that i was checking travel advisor nearly every day before the holiday to see what the next review said, and if someone mentioned something negative about the hotel i'd pick up on it and worry about it. So if someone writes i had a fantastic holiday... more

The Yucatan is a nice Hotel.We had a good time. The hotel was nice. The rooms were nice. The food was good. The staff..well so-so. The front desk wasnt very helpful. We went with an Apple Tour. They were horrible. They were never around to book trips. But there are other people in the lobby to help you. Other reviews... more

Date of stay – 15th – 29th July Flight – Good flight with Thomsonfly, took off an hour late but made up some time and landed half an hour late. Immigration was a nightmare – 2 officers for over 300 people and took over an hour. We finally boarded the coach for a pleasant coach ride to the Riu Yucatan.... more
